ORLANDO, Fla., May 6 /PRNewswire/ --Can a Mixed Martial Arts website
elbow you in the face? Can chilling photos and video of fighters in action
put you in a submission hold? We're not sure, but we know a visit to
CombatWire.com can be pretty intense. Tribune websites in Orlando, South
Florida and Chicago have teamed up to launch a new cross-media brand for
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fans. The Company will leverage 3 news sites which
draw millions of visitors to their sports section each month to
cross-promote CombatWire.com and Combat Wire TV which kicks off May 6th at
10pm CDT on CLTV.
Featuring an assembly of contributors covering the sport,
CombatWire.com provides up to the minute MMA related news, in-depth
interviews, local event coverage, fight results, pro photography, fighter
highlight videos and more. Hosting Combat Wire TV are Combat Wire's own Jim
Lyman and Oxygen Channel's Fight Girls finalist Felice Herrig. As part of
the agreement, OrlandoSentinel.com, SunSentinel.com and CLTV.com will link
to CombatWire.com from within their sports sections to bring you expert
analysis to sort through all the choke holds, take downs and tap outs.
"This is a great opportunity for us to expand our award-winning sports
coverage with the edge-of-the-seat excitement of the hottest sport around
-- Mixed Martial Arts," said Linda Schaible, Vice President and General
Manager of Tribune Interactive Orlando.
When it comes to news in the world of MMA, there's no split decision.
If you're in the Chicago area tune in to CLTV on May 6th at 10pm. And even
if you don't live in Chicago, you can always check out the show on
CombatWire.com.
