Mad River Glen is collaborating with Mad River Valley Television to produce a brand new live TV program airing weekly from General Stark’s Pub. The show, Mad River Glen Today, serves as a platform to share the Mad River Glen community with the rest of the world. The program illuminates what’s going on at MRG in a fun way, leveraging a format that is sort of a mash-up of a late night TV show, Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood and Wayne’s World.
The show is hosted and produced by Eric Friedman, Mad River Glen’s Marketing Director, and features Musical Director, Rob Pierce HMFC, “sidekick” Dougie “Fresh” Barnes and a recurring cast of characters.
“Mad
River TV is a tremendous local resource and we are
excited to utilize unconventional avenues like this to tell the Mad
River Glen story” says Friedman. MRG Today is broadcasted live every Thursday morning
at 10 AM to Mad River Glen’s Facebook page and MRVTV’s YouTube channel. It is also re-broadcasted to Channels
44 (SD) and 244 (HD) on Waitsfield Cable
and is licensed for re-broadcast to the 24 other public access TV centers across
the state of
Vermont.
“We are thrilled to
be partnering with Mad River Glen on this new show. We are both community
oriented organizations and we are excited to leverage the power of two live
social media platforms to help Mad
River Glen communicate stories and information in creative ways,” said
Keith Berkelhamer, Executive Director of the
station.
The show is being sponsored by Mehuron’s Market and Fat-ypus Skis.
