The gaming community in Saskatchewan (Canada) came together to produce a local access television show / tournament. We wrapped up production a few months ago and the first episodes are hitting the air on Access7 (only available in Saskatchewan). We serialized the tournament and supplemental content into 20 episodes. The grand prize was a 50" plasma TV, with runners up winning a variety of internet products and computer parts/accessories.
I took a couple of screen grabs so you guys could check out what we have been working on:
If you are in Saskatchewan and interested in Starcraft, I suggest heading over to SaskGamers.com and posting in the introduction thread.
Feedback is welcome
Edit: Some more details - We had 4 caster teams for the tournament - Production was sanctioned by Blizzard - Players qualified via online qualifiers - 8 players in televised tournament - 'group' like stage eliminates 4 players, leaving 4 players in finals bracket - 20 episodes @ 30 minutes each - No commercial interruptions, only product placement and endorsement - The show airs new episodes every week, Thursday @ 11pm
Edit Edit: I don't own the online rights to the show, but I'm still trying to figure out how we can get it online for people.

In any case, good on ya boys. Cheers, Timmys is on me
They still have the roughriders.
Anyways this is great news and it seems that you guys put a lot of effort into this. Congrats.
The show airs new episodes every week, Thursday @ 11pm. The episode re-runs the same week in a different time slot.
@nkr - Heh, didn't notice that. I didn't create that overlay, but I'm guessing that stat is straight from the Prima Strategy guide.
@inoshishi - Unfortunately only parts of Saskatoon have Access. Which sucks doubly since the production had many competitors, casters and crew from Stoon. I will keep trying to get this online.
