WealthTV To Film Bermuda Feature
Bermuda CableVision announced today that as part of its ongoing efforts to promote tourism to Bermuda, it has arranged for a visit to the island by WealthTV Network to film a show focusing on Bermuda.
The trip is being sponsored by Bermuda CableVision and the Bermuda Department of Tourism, and will take place from May 23 – 28, 2010. WealthTV can be seen on CableVision’s Channel 148, and WealthTV HD is on Channel 435.
Bermuda CableVision General Manager Terry Roberson, explains:
In our continuing commitment to supporting the Bermuda Department of Tourism’s efforts to attract more visitors to Bermuda, we are once again pleased to be hosting the cast and crew of a very popular TV show with a large international audience.
This episode of the WealthTV series entitled ‘Take Off with Ashley Colburn’ will ensure that Bermuda’s attractions are seen by an audience of several million people overseas. WealthTV has been a popular network in our line-up for quite some time now, and it has gained even more popularity since we added the high-definition (HD) version of the channel. For local viewers to see their island featured on such a prestigious show is certain to make them proud.
While in Bermuda, the visiting cast and crew, including show host Ashley Colburn, will take part in a variety of activities facilitated by Bermuda CableVision and the Department of Tourism. The group will be staying at Tucker’s Point Hotel and Spa, which will be prominently featured in the show episode. Tucker’s Point is providing accommodations as well as an array of activities, including teaching show host Ashley Colburn how to scuba dive. She will also join the hotel’s award-winning executive chef Serge Bottelli, who will help her prepare fresh fish in the kitchen at the resort’s Le Point Restaurant.

This programme, with more than 10 million viewers across 100 cable partners, ensures Bermuda will be well promoted to our target audience and we are proud to partner with Cablevision and Wealth TV to promote the best of all that Bermuda has to offer.
In December of last year, CableVision teamed up with the Bermuda Department of Tourism to bring the cast and crew of World Fishing Network’s “Hookin’ Up with Mariko Izumi” to Bermuda to film an episode of the popular sport fishing series on World Fishing Network. The visit took place from December 11 to 15, 2009, and will air May 17, at 8:30 p.m., on Channel 102 and in HD on Channel 443.
