The Race Wraps Season 2 with a CBI award!    
Posted by: Pete Berg on Thu Nov 08, 2007 7:43 pm

The Race 2 is wrapped! I hope you enjoyed this action-packed and emotional second season. It was our pleasure to create this series, and I would personally like to thank each and every one of you, the viewers, for making The Race 2 such a success!

The Race and The Race 2 have been watched by thousands of online fans, and have been discussed on message forums all over the web. Not only was The Race 2 ICTV.org's most-viewed show ever, but we have also gotten quite a bit of recognition for our work. Last week, The Race 2 won the College Broadcaster's Institute Award for Best Special Broadcast at the national CBI conference in Washington D.C. On top of this, The Race has also won two 2007 PEGASYS awards (Best Documentary Series, Best Educational Access), and was named ICTV's Best Show and Best New Show at the Just Desserts awards this spring. Additionally, we are in communication with OSTN, the Open Student Television Network, about broadcasting The Race to college campuses nationwide.

Thanks again to everyone for such a fantastic second season!

The Race 2 hits it big online    
Posted by: Pete Berg on Thu Nov 08, 2007 7:34 pm

The Race 2 has generated quite a bit of a stir online, and is currently being viewed by several thousand fans every week at ICTV.org. Not only that, but the show is actively being discussed on dozens of message forums, people are writing play-by-play recaps of episodes to keep the Internet fans up-to-date, and we were even mentioned on MSNBC.com:

"[The Race] doesn't circle the globe, but its challenges, drama, cast and editing are reminiscent of the series that inspired it — so much so that you'll quickly forget you're watching something that doesn't have a multi-million dollar budget." - MSNBC.com

You can find fan-written recaps of Race 2 episodes at DingoRue.com and at The Reality Fan Forum. Also, an article on Online Media Cultist predicts that there will be a big online reality tv hit in the next 6 - 9 months, and cites The Race as an example of a stellar web-based show. As the author says, "we're set for a paradigm shift in how 'television' is thought of, funded, covered, and viewed."

Congratulations to everyone involved with this production! It seems all of our hard work is paying off.
