RVTV and RV Education 101’s RV Savvy Segments Go High Definition in July of 2005
The new television program for RVers, RVTV, gets renewed for 26 episodes after a successful first season on the Outdoor channel. The new episodes will be aired on the Outdoor Channel 2 High Definition network set to debut in July, 2005.
Fayetteville, NC (PRWEB) April 20, 2005 -- RV Education 101 is a North
Carolina based producer of educational videos and DVDs on how to use and
maintain RV’s. Mark and Dawn Polk who started the company, felt there was not
enough emphasis placed on properly educating the RV consumer on the complexities
of operating and maintaining an RV. RV Education 101 continues to join forces
with the new television program RVTV, by providing the RV Savvy segments and
helping RVers stay Savvy with their rigs.
RVTV began airing on the
Outdoor Channel in December 2004. Midway through the first season RVTV announced
it has been renewed for twenty-six new episodes beginning in July 2005 on The
Outdoor Channel 2 HD. The Outdoor Channel is a national television network
dedicated to providing the best in traditional outdoor programming to America's
82 million anglers, hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. Based on October 2004
Nielsen Media Research, The Outdoor Channel's universe is approximately 26.2
million subscriber homes, delivered through a combination of cable and satellite
dish viewers. The Outdoor Channel will soon launch a new and separate network to
cable and satellite audiences, offering its popular outdoor programming entirely
in high definition. Outdoor Channel 2 HD is set to debut in July 2005 and will
offer programming both shared and independent of the existing Outdoor
Channel.
RVTV is a magazine format show with themed topical segments. Rob
Engman, executive producer and host of the show said, “We feel we are raising
the bar on programming, tailor-made for RVing fans everywhere. We showcase great
destinations, products, lifestyle stories, RV savvy tips, safety advice, book
reviews and almost anything our viewers ask us for.”
RVTV feels its
joint project with Polk is a great way to help educate people about RVing and
for people new to RVing to see first hand what it’s all about. KOA’s assistant
vice president of marketing, Shannon Scheiwiller who works closely with RV
Education 101 stated “RV Education 101 is the industry's expert voice of RVing
safety and machine expertise.” She further states, “RVers are hungry for two
things - vacation ideas and machine information.”
The RV savvy segments
cover a broad range of topics, Polk said, “There’s more to RVing than the RV
itself. We want to offer some technical information but we also want to provide
relevant information on the entire scope of RVing.” The RVTV website, www.rvtv.ca, will
continue to feature a more detailed article written by Polk on each of the
weekly RV savvy topics.
The RVTV film crew made another journey to North
Carolina to shoot more RV Savvy segments for season two. ''We have forged an
impressive alliance with RV Education 101," stated Engman. “We are extremely
pleased with the feedback we have received from viewers.”
“We are very
excited to be a part of this incredible new technology, High Definition.” said
Polk. It will capture the magic for a more enjoyable viewing experience with
superior details.”
