Worldwide on the New wingding™ Network
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – (August 9, 2021) – From the early days in February of 2014 — when the Traveling Golfer television show made its debut on a few websites and as part of a local golf show — until today, there has been one consistent theme. Expansion.
The award-winning golf and lifestyle show, hosted by golf industry veteran Tony Leodora, has made a mercurial rise in the television industry. From a few thousand viewers at the start, the Traveling Golfer is now available in almost 150 million households worldwide.
The latest expansion took place this month with the addition of the new wingding™ Network, created by Zeus Digital Marketing. Wingding™ is an OTT and CTV network that allows viewers to find compelling, engaging content anywhere, anytime using devices such as Roku, AppleTV and Amazon FireTV.
“We are very excited about adding the Traveling Golfer television show to our lineup of programming,” says Jeff Gilder, president of Zeus Digital Marketing and the developer of the wingding™ Network. “It fits perfectly with the dynamic and entertaining type of programming we try to provide.”And the wingding™ Network fits perfectly with the Traveling Golfer ever-expanding footprint.
“Everywhere we go, we get stopped by people who watch the Traveling Golfer,” says host, Tony Leodora. “It’s flattering but it also shows how much people desire the type of golf and lifestyle programming we provide. It answers their greatest quest – to tell them about someplace new they can go on a golf vacation. Now, thanks to the wingding Network, we can reach an even larger audience – worldwide.”
