Scope & success of our team & gear

We have conquered inclimate weather and surroundings to complete jobs from Alaska's North Slope the the Hawaiian Islands, to Florida's southern coast and countless others in-between. As Alaska's premier sports coverage provider, we've utilized our production tools to a wide cariety of nationwide and statewide broadcasts. Games form our production trailer have been seen nationally on ESPN, FoxSports, and CSTV. Using our portable satellite unit and experienced squad of "techies" we've also provided 2 seasons of playoff coverage for the Alaska Aces semi-pro hockey team. We followed them to Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Fresno and we were there when the Aces won the National Title, the Kelly Cup, in Gwinette, Georgia.
