"Hometown Heroes" will give viewers a rare look into a day in the life of Hall of Fame athletes from different sports
"The Business of Athletes" will offer a look into how professional athletes leverage their earnings to become business owners
ReachTV carries a range of programming from NBCUniversal, AMC, Live Nation, Rotten Tomatoes/Fandango and other suppliers. The collaboration between Hall of Fame Village Media and ReachTV will be to create two original sports entertainment programs. The working titles in development are "Hometown Heroes" and "The Business of Athletes."
Hometown Heroes will be a series of video shorts that follows Hall of Fame athletes from various sports as they visit their favorite places in the sports towns where they became famous. Viewers will get a unique behind-the-scenes look at where the players go, what they do, and what it really means to live like a Hall of Fame legend.
The Business of Athletes will follow current and former professional athletes from a variety of sports who are using their earnings from playing to start the businesses of their dreams. In this series of video shorts, viewers will learn why each athlete chose a particular industry, see the unique challenges they face in launching their businesses, and how their competitive spirit helps them succeed as entrepreneurs while creating a positive influence in their communities.
"Working with ReachTV to develop original episodic content brings together the core strengths of both our brands – Hall of Fame Village Media's unique access to revered sports legends and storytelling and ReachTV's incredible distribution network to engage and entertain a very broad audience as they travel," said Olivia Steier, Hall of Fame Village Media EVP.
"We're thrilled to partner with Hall of Fame Village Media on these original series' which center Hall of Fame athletes and their impacts on our communities" said ReachTV CEO & Founder Lynnwood Bibbens.
Hometown Heroes and The Business of Athletes will join ReachTV's "What's Playing" line up of Entertainment programming on reachtv.com and its distribution network, with production to begin in the next few months.
