The first broadcast of the weekly TDR TV on Comcast Cable in Tennessee will be Saturday, September 3rd, on Channel 96 at 5 PM. (Check your local listings for availability on additional channels.)
TDR TV is a 30-minute weekly TV show that covers all aspects of amateur wrestling in the U.S. Host Scott Casber updates viewers on the latest developments in high school, college and international wrestling, conducts insightful interviews with the sport's top wrestlers and coaches, and shares his passion for the “oldest and greatest sport†in a fun, fast-paced show. TDR TV is also available on the Mediacom Cable TV system serving six Midwestern states in and around Iowa, Time Warner Cable Sports in New York and can be viewed online at www.TakedownRadio.com and at over thirty other affiliated amateur wrestling websites.
“Chattanooga, Tennessee is a hotbed for championship level wrestling on both the high school and collegiate levels,†said Heath Eslinger, Head Coach of UTC's Men's Wrestling program. “We know wrestling fans across the state will enjoy the visibility that TDR TV will bring to the sport across the state."
Casber, founder of Takedown Wrestling Media, said, “This is an important step forward for the athletes, coaches and fans of wrestling across the country. Comcast Cable is a respected name around the country. They understand wrestling fans and the need for promotion of the sport in order to continue its positive growth. This is a special opportunity to partner with Comcast Cable in the distribution of TDR TV. We understand the responsibility we have in this and will present wrestling in a positive manner.â€
“Comcast Cable will present our weekly TV program throughout Tennessee where collegiate and High School wrestling enjoys a very strong fan base. “We're very excited that we'll be seen in a part of the country that features some of the best high school wrestling programs in the nation.â€
Takedown Wrestling Media started 13 year ago as a single one-hour radio program broadcast from Clear Channel's KXNO studios in Des Moines. TDR quickly added Internet distribution of its audio format and began to broadcast live events along with its weekly program. Founder Scott Casber is well-known throughout the wrestling community, speaking to wrestling groups around the country and promoting the sport wherever he can. TDR TV was born as an addition to the radio program, initially available only on the Internet, but now available on 31 different web sites, as well as in six Midwest states through its distribution on Mediacom Cable.
