4wd TV News

Post by **mudtoy** » Thu Dec 23, 2004 9:34 pm

Hey Thanks for all the support guys. We have had a ball making 4wd TV but the rewards at the moment are mighty thin, so threads like this are very positive to read. Thanks!

NSW will be last on the list but don't blame me...we have to pay for the air time and the community TV stations still cost us thousands of dollars each. Currently NSW has no community station but rumours are afoot that it may be up and running soon...if so then we will be there.

NSW has a healthy 4wd industry and I am sure that plenty of you guys will get behind us (especially the ones who have shops and want some exposure).

SA and WA still have their own 31s just like Vic and Qld.

Navnite...We only filmed the first two stages near the main camp area...the footage goes with an interview with the event organiser. We would have loved to stay on but it was our second event for the day...we came stright from the LROCV Trials.

Cheers and Merry crapmas!

Looks great, wish we could see it in NSW though!! :cry:

Dvds are available...but we are hoping to be in NSW very soon.
We are off to Qld next week for interviews and trips, then down to Rover park for Battle of the codes, back to Melbourne for one week and then off to NZ for filming.

During Feb though you will see reports on Woodpecker, Nissan trials, Navrun, Navnite and heaps more...plus there are all new prizes for this season.

Post by **mudtoy** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 7:05 pm

Duncan, as in the initial post fo this thread...early 2005 will see us push into WA...

Sorry we don't have a more defined date than that but it will be there as soon as we can organise it.

Is there something wrong with the 4wd TV web site as I cant seem to get on it in about the last week

Post by **duncan** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:37 pm

Thanks for the reply just dont want to miss watching this lots of viewers over here just waiting

Post by **FireTruck** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 8:48 am

I haven't been able to get on the site for a week or two either.

Post by **patrolman** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 2:15 pm

the website is working again

Post by **goodie** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 3:29 pm

any chance of 4wd tv EVER coming free to air for us???? or even WIN tv or PRIME ????

Post by **mudtoy** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 5:47 pm

Ratings so far are looking good for a small community based TV show...around 90,000 a week and just under 600 visits a week to the website...which is now back up and running again.

We have also been contacted by BFG, Mickey T/Cooper and TJM head office...plus every current sponsor has signed up again.

This doesn't include the smaller ones such as Light my fire, Cheezy racing, Lightforce, Ontrack 4wd Qld, ABT 4x4, etc...who have all offered sponsorship and/or products. Must be doing something right!

...and how's this...the presenters are now even dressed by a new line of clothing from Globe.

We are currently awaiting word back from WA, SA and NSW...and there are a few others in the pipe line.

Thanks again to all of the supporters...hopefully we will see a few of you at the battle of the codes next week.

I'm goin nuckin futs up here in North QLD. :bad-words:

Have you looked at expanding up here. :roll:

i hear all the goss from my non - 4wd'ing workmates every day after its been on... they all love the show and reckon its the bees knees.

so the word from people that don't even own 4x4's or even go 4x4ing, top work as its obviously a very entertaining program.

Dunno if the ratings are up high enough, but maybe later on, you should consider approaching foxtel or austar or something like that to get a slot on the sports channels.

Looking forward to seeing it in NSW. What about channel 31? last time i checked thats available in sydney, its a community station im sure.

what a classic i am also doing this

Last time I checked C31 NSW was hooked to go back on air in March. I have contacted them and are waiting on an email back. We have sorted C31 in SA and will be on there soon and have also contacted Access 31 in WA.

I am still having trouble contacting Linc TV in Lismore NSW and CTV in Canberra. If anyone knows of any others, please let us know.

We have been communicating with Foxtel and that too looks very promising.

well what about sydney? Or at least can you look into a web cast of the show at the same time the show is on tv, so us unlucky ones still can see it. It may also slow that question down you probly haer all the time "WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO PUT IT ON IN OUR AREA".
Just a susgestion.

Post by **mudtoy** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 11:07 pm

SA kicked off last friday and we are now set each week for 9:30 Friday evenings.

WA finally called back and we are booked for April.

Sydney also came through and they are planning for July.

We are doing our best!
