Sports Action Team

"Sports Action Team" is a half-hour comedy television series, currently in its second season, aired by some affiliates of the NBC network and the high definition channel HDNet. It is a semi-improvisational mockumentary depicting the production of a fictional sports news show of the same name. Originally intended as a sport-related program to fill air time after Sunday football games on the west coast, the first season eventually expanded to most major NBC markets around the country (including all NBC Owned and Operated stations). The show's second season is shot in high definition, and is distributed by MGM. It is produced by Chicago-based Towers Productions, Inc. [ [http://www.imdb.com/company/co0030960/] "IMDB"]
