Show Synopsis
Flying South is a new production that brings facets of the aviation world right into homes of viewers and future enthusiasts. Each episode will feature new aircraft, related careers, pilot destinations, and restorations in progress. Our Goals are to educate the public about aircraft while entertaining their sense of wonder. We will do this by presenting information in a fun, but useful manner throughout the each episode. We will highlight common episode themes through majestic visuals and real life experiences.

Coverage
Flying South will air on the all new WXVO TV Ocean 7. This new station takes over where WKFK, a 30 year staple in the community, left off. Ocean 7 is dedicated to dynamic content and has not only retained the previous viewer base, but is already targeting new markets in the area to expand. The station airs content in HD throughout Jackson County via CableOne, and Jackson,Harrison, and Hancock Counties on AT&T U-verse. Our online market is geared toward viewer interaction and attracting the 18-30 crowd. We’ll employ various facets of social media to distribute our content in appropriate formats that will also highlight our sponsors. It’s been shown that online users are more likely to share shortened clips than a full 30 minute episode.
Production & Sponsorship
In early January the team will go into full swing hashing out all the final logistics in getting the show “off the ground.” Each episode will be shot with a myriad of cameras, but our main camera of choice is the Canon C100 for it’s reliability, professional audio options, and image quality. GoPro’s and drone footage will be used throughout the season to show landscapes and production shots for behind the scenes previews. For those interested in sponsoring the show, please use the contact form at the bottom of this page. We offer several packages gauged toward how involved with the show each sponsor would like to be.
