MIAMI (BusinessWire EON) September 5, 2007 --
The Boaters TV, a thrice-weekly podcast covering boating news and
features, was viewed in excess of 50,000 times in the two months since
the first episode was released on June 18, quickly establishing itself
as the top video podcast for boat owners and enthusiasts in the United
States.
The podcast is published at www.TheBoaters.tv,
and it is syndicated through other popular online video content
aggregators such as YouTube, DailyMotion, and Yahoo Video. The podcast
is also distributed through the iTunes Store's free podcast download
center. Recent episodes have covered the current debate over mandatory
boater education and licensing, the EPA's Recreational Boating Act, and
popular boating destinations such as Sea Ray's Aquapalooza celebration.
Episodes are hosted by Julie Perry, long active in the boating community
with years of experience in yacht crew recruitment and the megayacht
service niche. Perry recently authored The Insiders' Guide to Becoming a
Yacht Stewardess (October 2006). Perry resides in South Florida, the
birthplace of The Boaters TV and the boating capital of the United
States.
"The momentum gathered by The Boaters TV can be attributed to its
format, its production, the need it fills in the boating community, and
the general rise of the podcast medium," said CEO Leonard Boord. The
short, casual format delivers a wide variety of news in easily
digestible episode-bites, and a quick scan of the notes accompanying
each installment gives an overview of topics such as America's Cup,
wakeboarding, boat maintenance, sportfishing, sailing and houseboats.
"The Boaters TV does not focus on a single boating sub-community such as
megayachts or sportfishing, but neither does it get lost trying to be
everything to everybody," said Perry. "Instead, episodes are covering
stories from a variety of angles: from serious to lighthearted, from
everyday boaters to luxury yachters."
The Podcast is easily portable through the use of a video iPod or
similar device. Bolstered by rapidly rising viewing and subscription
rates, The Boaters TV is expanding its reach to include on-location
coverage of major events such as boat shows, as well as exclusive
interviews with boating industry news-makers including manufacturers,
association representatives, and industry regulators.
