FUEL TV and World Sports & Marketing Partner to Broadcast Wakeboarding Series

Orlando, FL ­– World Sports & Marketing announced today its partnership with FUEL TV for 90 airings of the 2007 King of Wake series. The 24/7 action-sports network will broadcast nine events from the premier wakeboarding series 10 times apiece, beginning June 11.

“The FUEL TV partnership not only includes numerous airings and great production quality, but also promotional and advertising support that helps the sport to grow,” said Sean Dishman of WSM. “FUEL is committed to wakeboarding.”

The King of Wake brings together the sport’s top events and series in one ultimate season-long points chase featuring the best riders from around the world including the five stops on the Pro Wakeboard Tour, the Wake Games, the WWA National Championships, and the WWA World Championships. Competition will be fierce as the rider crowned King of Wake will take home the largest cash bonus in the history of the sport, $25,000.

The award-winning production company Red Square TV will produce the wakeboarding series spots to be aired on the FUEL TV network. Red Square is a full-service television production company specializing in action- and youth-sports events coverage and original programming.

FUEL TV is the only 24/7 cable and satellite action-sports network in the United States. Its programming covers the lifestyle and culture of skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, BMX, freestyle motocross and wakeboarding. Through its original and commissioned series and specials, short-form content, films, and coverage of prestigious events, the channel showcases action-sports athletes — in motion and in exclusive interviews — plus emerging musicians, celebrities and breaking news.

The official magazine of the King of Wake is WakeBoarding, the premier publication for the sport.
