How the heck did a reality YouTube series about a small ski resort in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan become a success on international cable tv? Because its undeniably entertaining and genuinely unscripted (unlike so many so called “reality shows” that actually meticulously choreographed behind the scenes). Mount Bohemia TV is full of colorful characters and real life situations that arise when you operate an independent ski resort untethered by the constraints of a corporate bureaucracy.
Mount Bohemia TV caught the eye of Simon Nichol out of the UK who picked it up to broadcasts across Europe on the Unreel platform. The series ended up being the top show on the channel, outperforming even Warren Miller films.
“Mount Bohemia is the undisputed champion on our Unreel platform, grabbing our audience’s attention right from the start. The buzz is electrifying—this show is a rollercoaster of adrenaline, jam-packed with drama and sprinkled with laugh-out-loud comedy throughout. Viewers love the show! They’re super excited and think the reality vibes are just awesome.. What’s stealing the spotlight? The vibrant array of characters in the series, ensuring every moment is a wild ride of entertainment!” -Simon Nichol
The response from viewers across the pond has been resoundingly positive. From the characters to the daily shenanigans to the hardcore skiing vibe, the series has resonated with people across the continent. So much a so that group of German skiers showed up to Mount Bohemia last winter and rented out a yurt for a week after falling in love with the resort while watching in Deutschland. Can you imagine booking a flight from Berlin, Germany to Houghton, Michigan based on a TV show? Simply incredible.
The international appeal of Mount Bohemia TV is so strong that Simon Nichol is taking it to Africa by way of Yanga TV. All of the hilarity and drama of Mount Bohemia will soon be available to viewers across the whole of the African continent. Amazing!
