FULLERTON, CALIF. (September 30, 2013) – “The History of the Sport” returns to the little screen when MAVTV begins re-airing seasons one, two and three of The Motocross Files (MXF) on October 4th with season one’s inaugural show on “Bad Brad” Lackey. Lackey was America’s first World Champion and only 500cc World Champion when he concluded a 10-year quest to win that title.
Developed and originally aired in the fall of 2005 on Speed, MXF broke new ground with sports documentary story telling with high production values utilizing theatrical music score and pioneering the use in sports productions of “3D animated photographs” seen today in so many shows and commercials. Over 21 episodes have been produced for the series to date and Producer/Director, Todd Huffman feels there are even more great motocross stories out there to tell.
“We have been blessed to get to know these motocross legends and bring their inspiring and emotional stories to the viewers,” said Todd Huffman, the series’ Producer and Director at Pipeline Digital Media (PDM). “With MAVTV’s new direction, energy and momentum we feel we have truly found a home for the series.”
MAVTV is currently in over 27 millions households being found on Directv (Ch. 214), Dish (Ch. 248), Comcast, Time Warner and Charter just to name a few. And a new relationship with 16 new independent cable operators get the network new reach to viewers across the country who are discovering MAVTV’s entertaining and relevant programming that the entire family can enjoy.
“Lucas Oil believed in this show back in 2005 and it is great to see it come full circle and air on MAVTV. I am excited to bring the series to our growing viewership of motorcycle enthusiasts with people that love telling a great story,” says Jason Patison, Programming Director for MAVTV.
MAVTV will begin airing all 21 episodes of MXF on October 4th at 2:30am and 5:30am (all times Eastern Standard Time) with the Brad Lackey episode and then every Friday at the same times.
