Off-Road Travel TV Debuts January 12

Off-Road Travel TV will make its world-wide debut January 12 at 9:30am ET/PT on MAVTV. In the first episode of the all-new 30-minute show, the crew goes camping with Michael Ladden and his amazing Drive the Globe expedition rig. Then Ken Faught heads to Utah to go on an amazing three-day tour with Speed & Sport Adventures, considered the best dirt bike tour company in America. The show concludes with a preview of Off-Road Travel TV’s incredible 48-day Alaskan adventure and a look at our amazing purpose-built Toyota Tundra and 4Runner.

“After over two years in the making we are excited to see the launch of Off-Road Travel TV on MAVTV, the fastest growing motorsports network in the USA” said Mark Mitchell, CEO and co-founder of Off-Road Travel TV. “We look forward to providing the MAVTV audience with a weekly glimpse into the exciting and inviting world of off-road and overland travel through amazing destinations, top notch builds and the latest in gear and equipment that makes modern off-road travel so attractive and enjoyable.”

Off-Road Travel TV will be the first weekly 30-minute magazine-style show on a national cable and satellite television channel aimed at the off-road and overland audience that covers two, four-six and even eight-wheel vehicles. The program will deliver regular high-quality features on off-road motorcycle, Jeep, van and truck builds, in-depth evaluations of new and existing products, informative how-to articles, valuable camping tips and tricks, and of course, off-road travel to both iconic and popular off-road destinations.

Much of the first season focuses on the adventures of Ken and Wyatt Faught during their 10,000-mile father-and-son trip. The pair starts in California, heads to the Overland Expo in Bend, goes mountain biking in Whistler, then makes their way to Alaska. On their way home they hit Banff and Lake Louise in Canada, Glacier National Park in Montana and Yellowstone in Wyoming, before heading to Idaho, Utah and Nevada.

The Faught’s are joined by a wide variety of adventure seekers along the way including Robert and Kathy Parks, Adrienne Alves, Catherina Bertolino, Travis Arket, RJ Zanon, Matt and Sara Girgis, Brandon Dore, and twins Erin and Danielle Gornik.

“This show is created by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, and it’s about as genuine as it gets,” said Ken, President, Executive Producer and co-founder of Off-Road Travel TV. “I have been lucky enough to go on off-road excursions in Australia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, Peru, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Canada, Mexico, Europe, and all over the United States, and the experience you get is simply amazing. I believe travel is the best thing you can do in life.”

In addition to the television series, the agreement with MAVTV will also see the companies working together on a variety of cohesive marketing and promotional efforts, sponsorship sales and coordinated social media that will be beneficial for both the program and the network, along with partnering with OVR magazine (www.OVRmag.com) and Offroad Underground (www.OffroadUnderground.com)
