LocoTV are very proud to announce a new partnership with Camera House in a new Australian photography series.

All aspects of this much loved hobby and profession will be covered to help Loco viewers take better photos and then make them shine with their PCs.

More details soon.

We are pleased to announce that our two presenters for LocoTV's new outdoors adventure show, DriveWA, will be Mark Haffenden and Taryn Leggett.

You might remember Mark from the Dolphinfish episode of How To Catch A Fish with Steve. (Click here to watch it)

And Taryn was featured in our popular Swan Valley episode of There's Nothing to do in Perth!?! (Click here to watch it)

Filming begins in early June and it promises to be a great series with John Hughes, ORE, Tourism WA and, of course, DriveWA.com all involved.

Since beginning proper broadcasts only 10 weeks ago, LocoTV has reached its first goal of 200,000 shows viewed (even a little earlier than expected!).

We're now averaging over 30,000 plus shows viewed each week and that number is growing rapidly so we expect to hit half a million viewers by the end of June. Thanks for your support and expect more and more new programs to start flowing now.

Only 8 weeks ago, we launched LocoTV and had 4500 viewers the first week. We were pretty happy with that but growth has been phenomenal since then.

In fact, over the past 2 months our viewership has increased by more than 600%, peaking this week with 27,000 views of LocoTV shows! Well thank you. We’re glad our viewers are enjoying our shows and, in the words of the classics, “you ain’t seen nothin’ yet baby!”

Loco TV is excited to announce the first show on our new 4WD and Outdoors channel called “DriveWA”.

It’s all about driving the fantastic heritage trails from the very top to the very bottom of Western Australia. Our partners for the series will be www.DriveWA.com, John Hughes, Tourism WA and ORE Off Road Equipment.

Not only will you be able to enjoy this series on your computer or your TV, you’ll even be able to download the episodes to you mobile phone and take them on the trip to follow our DriveWA episode trails!

Look out for the first episodes coming in the second quarter of 2009.

Since our launch last Monday, LocoTV has experienced a 900% increase in viewers. Last week over 4500 shows were watched and it’s only going to get bigger and better.

Keep tuning in every week to see new unique LocoTV shows and regular episodes.

With our partner, Jesters Pies, we’ve now finished filming the first 6 heats of Live at the Comedy Lounge. If you thought there were no funny comedians in Perth, well, you’re wrong!

Our cameramen had to pick themselves up off the floor at times as the 100 plus crowd at Rosie O’Grady’s went crazy for 18 top notch acts.

In addition to their standup, each comedian is judged on a sketch they’ve written, directed and starred in. Frankly, they’re both stupid and hilarious.

You’ll see them competing for the Jesters Comedy Cup soon on LocoTV.

There’s Nothing to do in Perth!?! has been one of the most popular shows on LocoTV so far and it’s about to get even better with the signing of the WA Tourism Council as our partner in the series.

Football legend Graham Moss heads up the WATC and was a big factor driving forward the concept into two parts – a local Perth series and a brand new statewide series.

“This is going to be the largest ever video database for tourism of any region on the planet,” said LocoTV CEO Steve Correia. “Viewers will be able to search the web for tourism and adventures in WA, then watch video from dozens and dozens of operators throughout the whole of the state. It’s a world first.”

Both series will be launched at the annual WATC awards in late November.

Thanks to new series partner, Jesters Pies, LocoTV will be filming the first ever WA based standup comedy series. 18 comedians will be competing for the Jesters Comedy Cup over 6 heats, 2 semi-finals and a grand final.

Series producer Alex Blain said, “I’ve been working hard to get a WA comedy series up and running from the first days of discussing the LocoTV project and it’s very satisfying to be going into production so soon.”

Filming begins in early December, in conjunction with John McAlister from The Comedy Lounge, and the first episodes are to be shown not long after that.

13 more episodes of How To Catch A Fish and Local Fishing Legends are underway with our new series partner, Leisurecat.

Steve Correia, LocoTV’s CEO said, “It’s extremely exciting to have as association with a boat as good as this one. Not only are they a WA company, Leisurecat sets the bar for fishing boats that can handle any conditions and it allows us to plan some amazing shoots for our fishing fans to enjoy.”

Being launched in the new series will be Leisurecat’s revolutionary new 6m Cuddy Cabin that will break new ground in value and performance. “Shore based anglers shouldn’t worry,” Steve said. “There will still be as much land based fishing as boat based fishing in the new series.”

Current episodes will be available as mobile phone and iPod downloads soon.
