Fuel TV Adds an Additional Two New Series In December




The U.S. premiere of “Bondi Rescue” debuts Monday, December 13



and FUEL TV’s original series “SLAM!” premieres Wednesday, December 15.




LOS ANGELES, CA
- FUEL TV, Fox Sports Media Group’s dynamic network for young males,
announces the premiere of two new series in December, including the
U.S. premiere of the thrilling beach lifeguard reality show “Bondi Rescue” on
Monday, December 13 at 11:00pm ET/PT, and the gut-wrenching action sports crash extravaganza
“SLAM!” on Wednesday, December 15, 2010 at 10:30pm ET/PT.
These two premieres round out the busiest fall launch schedule ever on FUEL TV with nine new series rolling out since September.



“Both ‘Bondi
Rescue’ and ‘SLAM!’ offer the excitement, action and drama that will
captivate FUEL TV viewers and deliver on our network promise that ‘Risk
is the Only Rule,’” says CJ Olivares, FUEL TV General Manager. “Since
the end of September, FUEL TV has debuted an unprecedented amount of
new programming and completely re-launched our signature, daily prime
time show ‘The Daily Habit.’ ‘Bondi Rescue’ and ‘SLAM!’ add to our
incredible programming momentum during our busiest quarter ever for the
network.”


  



The mesmerizing
“Bondi Rescue” follows a real life elite team of Australian lifeguards
at one of the busiest and most dangerous beaches in the world. These
lifeguards are tasked with keeping 40,000 daily beachgoers safe from
pounding surf, poisonous jellyfish, nasty sharks and each other. From
encounters with wildlife, to surf injuries, to fights, to drug busts,
to celebrity visits, there’s no place on earth like Bondi Beach.



“’Bondi Rescue’
is a real-life ‘Baywatch’ where the risks are incredibly high and the
stakes are life and death,” says Shon Tomlin, FUEL TV SVP of
Programming and Marketing. “It’s a show that has had tremendous success
overseas and we’re excited to have the exclusive rights to six seasons
of this acclaimed series.”



FUEL TV’s
original series “SLAM!,” hosted by professional daredevil and crash
aficionado Chris "Slam" Lambert, delivers the most ruthless and
gut-wrenching crashes and mishaps in all of sports. Whether it's
surfers getting swallowed up by monster waves, skateboarders landing
spread-eagle on rails, or freestyle motocross riders ejecting from
100-foot dirt jumps, “SLAM!” showcases what happens when the most
exciting sports in the world go terribly wrong. Chris walks viewers
through the spills that made history, letting victims reveal the dirty
details, and throwing himself in harm's way when least expected.






“This is a show
that grips you by the throat, has you on the edge of your seat and
actually hurts to watch,” says Tomlin. “But, ‘SLAM!’ is really more
than just a spills and thrills show. It gets to the heart of what it
takes to pull these tricks and the punishment an athlete’s body endures
on their road to success.”



“Bondi Rescue,” produced by Australian independent producer
Cordell Jigsaw, premieres Monday, December 13 and will air weeknights at
11:00pm ET/PT. To watch an embeddable promo for the show, follow this link:
