Clash BRP, Vibram Open, PDGA Worlds on TV

[Disc Golf Live]

Episode 34 of Disc Golf Live video magazine is in the mail to our broadcast partners and stations across the country, and uploaded to PEGmedia.org for our file-sharing broadcasters. Folks in communities large and small across the country will be treated to some great stories about our favorite sport.

We're not about preaching to the converted at Disc Golf Live (there are enough folks working on that). Our goal is to bring the game to new people and places, and when established golfers can catch the show, that's a bonus. If you have public or community access TV in your town, tune in and watch for contact info or details on what it takes to bring a TV show to your community, then drop us a line We send out our broadcast DVDs for free and fund downloading as well. If any of you are feeling particularly generous and want to help us grow the sport, we offer a Home version of the show to our subscribers. More info at http://www.discgolflive.com. Here's some info about the latest episode:

We titled this one "Dial M for Disc Golf" to acknowledge the four featured locations: Michigan, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Missouri. We start with our own piece from the mitten, as we explore a festive game locals call Dirty Dollars. (You'll like the sweet ace we caught!). We shift to New Bethel, Minnesota for a battle between experience and youth as we take in a bit of Billy Crump's latest Clash DVD, featuring the Blue Ribbon Pines course. Heading East, Steve Dodge out in Leicester, MA, checks in with a fitting homage to Barry Schultz' winning play at the '09 Vibram Open. To wrap things up, we revisit last summer's PDGA World Championships in KC, Missouri as we take in action from the Men's Masters Division.


Best regards,

Joe

Joe,

I assume your show is on PBS type channels? How does one go about pitching your show to their local networks and do you have a list of all the ones that air it>?

I would also be interested in pitching it to some local channels. Tell me how I can help.

Hi, gents -

Temple, TX seems to have some "government" tv operated by the city. Here's a link:

http://www.ci.temple.tx.us/index.aspx?NID=1018

You could contact them and let them know you'd be interested in seeing DGL. Let them know the programs can be downloaded from www.pegmedia.org at no charge. I think someone from the station knows about that site already, that's where I found a link to the station's website.

Didn't find any resources in Lawrenceville. Do you by chance get the Atlanta "People TV" station? That's the nearest I could identify.

The easiest way to go is to scan your channels and look for anything PEG (Public, Educational, Governmental). Watch for a website of phone contact info.

Hope that helps.

Joe

No I got the increasingly sucky Directv.

 

[Disc Golf Live]

Not much hope with directTV, I'm afraid, Bill. Sorry about that.
