New action TV show like
|
It’s called ‘Code Red’ and it premieres today on BLTV’s local Ch. 6.
‘It’s a show very similar to ‘Cops,’ except it’s all local,’ said Jonathan Womack, who has produced ‘Code Red’ with Kenneth King. ‘This is very unique showing emergency workers in Warren County and what it’s like for them. You get to see it all because we ride along with them.’
Womack and King have started a new company called Community Network Productions and ‘Code Red’ is one of their first major projects. It’s a half-hour show that will run on a regular rotation on Ch. 6.
‘We’re trying to take local TV to the next level,’ said King. ‘We show all the action but we don’t show faces.’
Because of various legal issues which could arise, the two have decided it’s best to blur out faces when dealing with arrests, although it would likely add local interest to see who the people are. King says they’ve decided to steer clear of identifying people for now.
‘We’ve talked to several lawyers and we can’t get a clear answer,’ said King. ‘Right now, nobody seems to know.’
In the show, King and Womack accompany sheriff’s deputies, bounty hunters, firefighters, and EMS workers. Their coverage includes everything from automobile wrecks to rowdy arrests.
‘The bounty hunters are the best,’ said King. ‘Because they’ll do about anything.’
Womack and King have devoted a considerable amount of work for this project, not only in filming but in the production room. They’re proud of the finished product and believe viewers will be pleased too.
‘Anybody who has a scanner and listens to it is going to want to watch our show,’ said Womack. ‘Because they will get to see what they hear. It’s an exciting show.’
