“Tackling everything from Tiger Woods to Brett Favre, the show’s format will be unlike anything we’ve done before and we are very excited to be launching it in 2011.”

Yesterday we learned from Tom Cunneff's interview with Golf Channel suit Keith Allo that GC was developing a morning show. And voila! Today a light-on-detail press release miraculously lands announcing January 2011's "Dawn Patrol," which, incidentally was the name of the scripted drama I was developing centering around a group of renegade cart driving residents of the Villages who flesh out subversives in the lush retirement community. It was sort of Road Warrior meets A-Team in the vein of Cocoon. 

Anyway, now that those dreams are smashed, I can look forward to starting my days with Charlie Rymer's thoughts on Brett Favre retirement plans and if we're really lucky, his thoughts on the Bush tax cuts expiring...

“We’ve wanted to introduce a morning show to Golf Channel for a number of years and felt that now was the right time,” said Tom Stathakes, Golf Channel senior vice president of programming, production and operations.

“Tackling everything from Tiger Woods to Brett Favre, the show’s format will be unlike anything we’ve done before and we are very excited to be launching it in 2011.”
