Disc Golf Live Surpasses 100th Broadcast Station Milestone

The disc golf community is abuzz with excitement as the popular television program, Disc Golf Live, marks a major milestone – 100 broadcast stations now carry the show. This significant achievement is attributed in part to a recent surge in participation facilitated by an innovative online file-sharing project.

According to Joe Wander, producer and editor of Disc Golf Live, over 50 new stations have adopted the show within the past three months alone. The program's growing popularity has been further boosted by the distribution of DVDs to local disc golfers, who can submit them at their community access TV station or directly to the station.

The show's exposure has doubled in a remarkably short period, allowing disc golf enthusiasts across the country to experience the sport like never before. As Wander notes, "We're not just preaching to the choir; we're bringing our sport to established players and introducing it to newcomers who may have never seen it before."

With five years of production under its belt, Disc Golf Live has released six one-hour episodes annually, featuring a mix of in-house produced segments and contributions from enthusiasts like Billy Crump, Steve Dodge, Johnny B, and the Guardians of Recreation. Wander emphasizes the program's commitment to showcasing diverse voices and stories, welcoming submissions from anyone capable of creating engaging content.

The show's format is remarkably flexible, covering topics beyond event coverage, including player profiles, course tours, music videos, and even dramatic storylines. A sampling of these episodes can be found on the Disc Golf Live YouTube Channel.

As plans for next year's episodes are already underway, Wander highlights the potential for reusing footage from this year's events to promote future tournaments. The program also offers a discounted subscription rate for PDGA members, as well as wholesale options for tournament directors and retailers looking to incorporate it into their packages.

Wander acknowledges that many enthusiasts lack access to community TV in their area but emphasizes that DGL is committed to making the show accessible to all. "We welcome support from every level of the game," he says, recognizing the importance of underwriters and sponsors in growing the sport's visibility beyond its established fan base.
