A Washington, DC agency recently called on TVS to help CSX create a successful media event for the launch of two, ultra-low emission GenSet Locomotives at the Rougemere Yard in Dearborn, Michigan.

In additional to A/V support, TVS provided the staging, catering and favorable weather.

Attending the event were Tony Ingram, Executive VP and COO CSX Transportation, Congresswoman Kilpatrick and Representatives from MDOT, SEMCOG and the City of Dearborn.  

Having relied on TVS Communication Solutions since 2005, the March of Dimes, Chrysler LLC and the Detroit Athletic Club again called on TVS to produce this prestigious event and TV Show.  TVS provided Concept to Completion solutions, including all aspects of production management, producing, scriptwriting, graphic and post production, staging, lighting, sound and video support.  The two hour event was edited into a 60 minute TV program for air on WDIV-TV4 and Comcast.  Held at the Historic Detroit Athletic Club, the Dodge National Athletic Awards recognizes Michigan athletes who combine excellence both on the playing field, in the classroom and community.  The Awards are presented to the top male and female Michigan High School and College Athlete of the Year.  This years winners were Mitch Zajac from Holt High School, Allison Schmitt from Canton High School, Jeff Lerg from Michigan State University (Hockey) and Tiffany Ofili from University of Michigan (Track and Field).

The March of Dimes and Dodge also honor one individual with their Lifetime Achievement Award.  This year’s recipient was former University of Michigan Coaching Legend Lloyd Carr.

The 2008 Dodge National Athletic Awards event was held on May 12 at the Detroit Athletic Club, featuring Steve Garagiola from WDIV-TV.
