In 1980 we forged a monumental partnership with a fledgling cable network in Bristol, Connecticut. Back
then, ESPN was still planning on movies for half the day and sports for the other half. Needless
to say, things have worked out for all of us.
We produced the first outdoors show ever on ESPN - The
Fishin' Hole with Jerry McKinnis. Next to SportsCenter, The Fishin' Hole remains ESPN's
longest running series at 20 seasons and counting. We have created and produced literally
dozens of series and specials since then including the STIHL
TimberSports Series, the ESPN Great Outdoor Games, the Wal-Mart FLW Tour and the Super Retriever Series. Our mainstay
though has been the variety of 30 minute shows that anchor ESPN's weekend outdoor line-up.
Programs currently in production include The Fishin' Hole, The Spanish Fly with Captain Jose Wejebe,
BassTech, and A Day on the Lake.
Recently, we have expanded the spectrum of outdoor programming with a greater emphasis on
competitive events. We see our production of the CITGO BASSMASTER Tournament Trail, the
Oh Boy! Oberto Redfish Cup, the Under Armour College Bass National Championship, and the Quiznos Madfin Shark Series
as the new breed of outdoor programming.
Our services are not limited to producing half-hour programs though. We have our own
remote production unit for live event coverage. We
provide consulting services for some of the outdoor industry's more powerful companies, and we even
stage and produce live events...all with the same quality, creativity, and commitment that our
partners have come to know over the years.
We are JM Associates - THE WORLDWIDE LEADER IN OUTDOOR TELEVISION.
