As the national golf series on Fox Sports Net (FSN) during the 2008 season, Golf Life Television is now reaching over 140 million homes in the United States. With multiple airings and primetime timeslots the program averages over 500,000 viewers with each episode. In addition, Golf Life’s online video distribution network to leading sites like AOL Video, ITunes and YahooVideo has reached over 125,000 views since April 1st , with an average of 4,000 views daily.
Another interesting aspect of the Golf Life series is that sponsor partners, such as Fujikura Shafts (www.fujikuragolf.com) are successfully repurposing produced features from the series on their own web sites, driving return traffic, increasing site stickiness and creating added value for their media investment in Golf Life Television.
“We are really excited to see Golf Life reaching a larger audience than ever before. Now companies that support the show, like Fujikura Golf are realizing and taking advantage of the value and reach they can get from Golf Life, compared to other, more expensive media options in the marketplace,” remarks Michael Billingsley, founder of Action Television and executive producer of the series.
The Golf Life series features editorial content from the leading golf manufacturers including Titleist, TaylorMade, Fujikura Shafts, Graphite Design Shafts, Cleveland, Ping, MacGregor and others. In addition, the producers have taken extra lengths to produce very detailed instructional segments with heavy graphic animation support to help viewers understand key concepts for game improvement. Informative travel features top off the show, with segments shot in high definition by the one of the most experienced teams in golf course production.
Golf Life producers are working with Golf Tips Magazine to create features within the 2008 television series that are in line with articles you see in Golf Tips issues. The idea is provide the first completely integrated and affordable media campaign for equipment manufacturers and other groups looking to target their audience.
