Salmini Films/sportfilm.com Selected to Produce
CBS Sports Spectacular
Salmini
Films/sportfilm.com has been selected to produce the CBS Sports Spectacular
that will air Saturday, November 25th, 2006 from 2:00pm to 3:00pm. The Ameriprise Financial Runner’s Classic at SeaWorld Orlando will be held on Nov. 19th, 2006, and will
be the only road race to be broadcast on network television.
The reach
of CBS Network is over 80 million households and the weekend afternoon airtime
will ensure that this will be one of the most watched road races in the history
of the sport. The Ameriprise
Financial Runner’s Classic is a made-for-TV event and the broadcast will
feature an overview of the sport of road racing and marathoning
in addition to the 5K and 10K events at SeaWorld.
“Salmini Films/sportfilm.com has an extraordinary record of
delivering quality broadcasts,” says Lorrie Kapp, the
organizer of the Runner’s Classic. “We know they have the expertise and
experience to produce this CBS Sport Spectacular. Salmini always
brings more to the table then just documenting the race itself…their
sportfilm.com sports library really enhances the overall package and it’s so
reassuring to work with a company with a reputation for integrity and
performance.”
“We are
excited to work with CBS and the Runner’s Classic team to produce this one hour
program,” says Ambrose Salmini, President of Salmini Films. “This broadcast is the only road race that
is broadcast on network television, so we see it as a chance to showcase the
sport and the millions of athletes who enjoy the running lifestyle.”
Participants
in the Runner’s Classic event will tour the entire park during their 5K or 10K,
running past such attractions as Discovery Cove, the Shamu
Stadium, plus the Dolphin and Manatee Pools.
