| Tam and Susan's relationship with the Coast Guard dates back to 1994 when they produced the pilot for their “Coast Guard” television series; the first reality series about a branch of the military. “Coast Guard” was initially syndicated to 110 stations throughout the country and ran for three seasons from 1995 through 1998. Over 200 stories were told in the 68-episodes of the series, ranging from law enforcement cases to incredible marine mammal rescues to amazing helicopter and boat rescues from coast-to-coast. It was also distributed and still airs internationally as “Sea Rescue.”
With the experience of “Coast Guard” under their belts, Tam and Susan began their relationship with Discovery, producing six Coast Guard-related programs for them. From “Coast Guard: Rescue Swimmers,” which highlighted the training and history of an elite group of Coasties to the recently-completed “Coast Guard At War: Vietnam”, which profiles the courageous activities of the Coast Guard in the Vietnam War.
The Coast Guard Channel team includes a dedicated staff of web developers, television writers, producers, and director/editors, and customer service and support. |
