Will any of this event be televised? Will a press pass be required to be in a position for good photos? This is a major event that should promote the Lake and area to a very large audience. Very exciting and should be a great deal of fum.

Yes, is what I hear:

"In 2009, the Forrest Wood Cup will receive a pair of one-hour shows [on the VERSUS network] ... Each episode of "FLW Outdoors" will also be available on demand in its entirety on FLWOutdoors.com www.flwoutdoors.com"

Two hours of TV focusing just on Lake Lanier! Its not just U.S. based, but:

"FLW Outdoors," hosted by Jason Harper, is also broadcast internationally through agreements with WFN (World Fishing Network) and Matchroom Sport to more than 429 million households in such countries as Canada, Germany, China, South Africa, Australia, Malaysia, Russia, Hungary and the United Kingdom, making it the most widely distributed weekly outdoor-sports television show in the world."
