TORONTO, ONTARIO, Jun 24 (MARKET WIRE) --
Editors Note: There is a video included with this Press Release.
A brand new television series targeting the aviation community will get
nationwide US satellite distribution to all 320 Public Broadcasting
Stations when it premieres in 2010.
"The Aviators is a completely fresh concept and something that the
aviation industry really needs right now" said Executive Producer Anthony
Nalli. "We wanted to feature a broad spectrum of aviation related stories
and have opted for a weekly magazine-style series that would allow for
many more stories than a conventional host driven show."
"The series, shot completely in high definition, will feature
correspondents from within the aviation community to add credibility to
the reporting" Nalli continued. "The Aviators television series in
combination with its associated website and related print publication
will form a complete multimedia resource profiling the people, the
places, and the planes of the North American aviation industry."
The series was created by veteran aviation television producer John
Lovelace (creator of "Wings Over Canada" and Global TV's "Driving
Television"). Nalli and Lovelace have been developing the project since
last year while working on the John Lovelace Cross Country Century
Flight, a cross-country journey of 100 aircraft taking place in July 2009.
"There are literally hundreds of stories that have never been told and
people just can't get enough of TV featuring airplanes and pilots" said
Lovelace, the producer of eight television series' and 400 episodes
airing across Canada, the United States, Europe, and Australia.
"I just thought if we could overhaul the TV product, put some new faces
to it, and develop something that would work internationally it would be
a sure fire winner" he added. "When we took the new fast-paced magazine
concept to advertisers and broadcasters the response was excellent right
out of the gate!"
The Aviators will be distributed to broadcasting stations across the
United States by Albuquerque, New Mexico-based KNME Westlink which
maintains a long standing relationship with Lovelace. "When we provided
our initial treatment for The Aviators to KNME they immediately saw the
potential of the high definition aviation series," he explained. "This is
an amazing opportunity to get US national exposure for The Aviators."
Pre-production of The Aviators began in Toronto and Vancouver in April
and shooting continues throughout the summer of 2009. The show will
premiere across North America in 2010.
