Pahokee...
Extreme in Television
|
 Production
is booming in Pahokee. The gorgeous landscapes
of the western community continue to call to
skydivers from around the world, bringing heads in
beds and television production.
Skydive America is
close to closing a deal with two networks, Pan-American
Sports Network (PSN) and Extreme Sports
Channel for international distribution of the
extreme sports programs/events, Space Games.
The 3-year deals include a 15-hour programming
package including eight, 10-30 minute shows
produced by New Tribe Entertainment.
 PSN
is the largest sports network in Latin America
reaching 100 million viewers. The Extreme
Sports Channel is a European satellite
provider of extreme sports programming. New
Tribe is in post-production on the first of
eight shows, the first of which will be released
in mid-January. New Tribe has expanded its
facilities and hired additional editors to
complete the shows.
 In
addition, Skydive America is opening its
new facility in mid-December, just in time to host
the Intergalactic Anti-Gravity Jam, which New
Tribe will produce as a one-hour program. This
event will bring in over 1,000 hotel rooms. Worthless
Eye Candy, a new movie by New Tribe is
also ready for distribution.
