NEW YORK, February 1, 2007 — A new television series,
“International Fight League’s Total Impact,” which follows the athletes, coaches
and personalities of the International Fight League, the world’s
first team-based professional mixed martial arts organization, heads this
spring’s new lineup on MyNetworkTV. The program will air each Monday
from 8-10 p.m. across the entire MyNetworkTV network, which reaches
more than 95% of U.S. homes, beginning on March 12. This marks the first
regularly-scheduled over-the-air broadcast of the sport of mixed
martial arts.
In the IFL, 12 five man teams (10 based in the United States, one based
in Toronto and one in Tokyo) each with a world champion coach, will vie
over a nine month, 11 event season for the first-ever IFL Championship.
IFL cameras will cover the stories of each of the athletes both in and
out of the ring, bringing fans all of the event and behind the scenes
action. Segments will take viewers up close during the competition and
also into the locker rooms, training routines, and home lives of this
diverse set of athletes who are a part of the world’s fastest growing
professional and recreational sport.
Each program will be re-broadcasted on Saturdays from 8-10 p.m. local
time in each market.
