We just wrapped up our Sochi preview shows and are now looking to bringing our audience the stories at Sochi. Gary Morgan, AKA Mr. Ubiquitous, will soon be reporting back from the games. He arrives in Sochithis Tuesday. As an Olympian, (Race Walker in Seoul Summer Games), Morgan has easy access to our country’s participants. We look forward to bringing you that coverage.
We love covering Olympic events, as they bring us substantial traffic. In the past seven years, our Olympic themed shows have attracted nearly a million viewers to our Michigan Runner and Running Network channels.
Our journey started in Michigan, last March, with visits to the Otsego Club, Boyne Mountain, Nubs Nob and Treetops. We went a tad over budget when we shot a Sochi Preview show in Moscow’s Red Square and then later in the fall did a number of shows in New York City’s Times Square.
We have four new shows in our Run Up to the Sochi Winter Olympic Games series.
Olympic Host Cities: Vancouver, Torino, Calgary, St. Moritz, Albertsville, Atlanta and Salt Lake City are discussed.
