We at the Dempsey Film Group are embracing this new direction in televised fishing with all the excitement you’d expect from a rookie at his first weigh-in with a limit in his bag.
Our leader Demp Dempsey brings over a quarter century of live television experience with unique perspectives on traditional television. Translation: Brace yourselves, you’re going where no angler has ever gone before. This show will be educational, informative and – most of all – fun.
The opportunities for the Wal-Mart FLW Tour are endless. With a solid base of 55 million anglers across the country, the financial backing of Wal-Mart, an incredible base of solid and credible sponsors and strong commitment from the PAX network, we truly feel like the wonderful success experienced to this point only scratches the surface of what’s to come.
Dempsey Film Group’s role in this process is to provide weekly television coverage of what’s happening in the great FLW Outdoors. Not only will we originate telecasts from each of the FLW Tour events, but we will also provide telecasts each Saturday in between tournaments with the latest news and information on all of the FLW Outdoors events and anglers.
By the way, did we mention we’re going on “live”? While anything can happen in a live program, our goal is to bring you the spontaneity of the event, the depictions of the dramatic moments. When an angler brings in the winning fish and reels in a $250,000 paycheck, you’ll feel his exhilaration as he reveals it. The emotion of the moment transfers right into your living room thanks to live TV.
Plus, if I trip walking across the stage, you’ll get red in the face just like I will.
Carlton Wing is co-host of “FLW Outdoors,” seen on PAX TV Saturdays at 3 p.m. EST and 2 p.m. CST.
