The Golf Channel has launched it first broadcast of ‘Golf Central’ in high-definition on January 4. The Golf channel has completed its new studio in Orlando, Fla. with new sets will live in the same 4,700-square-foot space but now will include four, separate “environments,” from which various studio shows will originate.
The Golf Channel President Page Thompson said “This spectacular new studio – as well as new graphics and music for Golf Central – show our continued commitment to updating and improving our channel. Commenting on the show’s reach into 82 million homes in the United States and 40 million elsewhere around the world, Thompson continued, “Golf Central is the leading news program for the sport, and now we have a new studio that truly reflects the passion and dedication we have to this great game.”
The Golf Channel has also partnered with Ohio-based aboutGolf, which has installed a highly customized PGA TOUR Simulator that will be utilized by GOLF CHANNEL analysts for real-to-life demonstrations – like shot re-creation – and for shows like The Golf Fix, the popular, high-energy instructional show hosted by Michael Breed.
Chuck Faust, president of aboutGolf, said “The Golf Channel strives to deliver relevant news, analysis and instruction, so reliable and definitive data is critical. Not only does the PGA TOUR Simulator apply stereoscopic, high-speed photography technology, it’s used with a proprietary methodology that allows it to achieve an even higher
level of accuracy and produce a realistic golf experience.”
