Introducing "ATV-24/7"
REALITY
TELEVISION MEETS ATV RACING
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (April 12, 2010) - Long
Haul Productions, in cooperation with MX Sports
Pro Racing, Inc. and the ATVPG, today announced
the launch of a new reality television series
about ATV racing called "ATV-24/7."
Premiering May 15, 2010, each half-hour
episode of "ATV-24/7" follows three racers - in
real time -- as they prepare for and race in the
2010 ITP Tires/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross
Championships.
Two-time Defending Champion Rockstar Makita
Suzuki's Dustin Wimmer, Motoworks Can-Am's John
Natalie Jr. and youth rider, Jordan Digby, will
all share the spotlight in this new reality
racing show that is being broadcast nationally
on Direct TV, Dish Network and regional sports
networks throughout the U.S.
"It's sun up to sun-down coverage," notes
Executive Producer, Carey Bohn. We are capturing
what it takes to compete on - and off-the track
... the gritty AND the glamorous side of the
sport ... it's a reality show that is truly ATV
racing 24/7."
"ATV-24/7" will air as seven original
episodes, broadcast from May to the end of
October, according to the producers. Six rounds
of the ATV motocross championships will be
included, as well as one round of the
ITP/BRP/CMR Championship Mud Races. Supporting
sponsors of "ATV-24/7" include BRP/Can-Am ATVs,
ITP Tires and Wheels, and Amsoil, Inc..
"We think 'ATV-24/7' will be watched not only
by racing enthusiasts, but also reality TV
viewers who, coincidentally, share similar
demographics with powersports owners," said Long
Haul Productions president, John Daniels.
"ATV-24/7" can be viewed on Direct TV on
channel 344 (ICTV). On Dish Network, "ATV-24/7"
can be viewed on channels 230 (ICTV) and MAVtv.
The program will also air on America One
Networks, AMGTV Family Networks, Tuff TV
Networks, Untamed Sports Networks and other
regional sport networks to be determined.
Airtimes and other viewing information will be
released in early May, 2010.
