“For almost two decades, Tim Alp and Mountain Road have been consistently producing high-end, factual and lifestyle programming that has successfully sold all across the globe,” said Jon Rutherford, the president of distribution at Boat Rocker Rights. “We are excited to bring their premium content into the Boat Rocker catalog, and look forward to representing their new properties moving forward.”

Tim Alp, the president of Mountain Road Productions, added: “Through Temple Street, they built an amazingly creative and innovative production company and have continued that with their expansion under Boat Rocker Media. Under Boat Rocker Rights they have created a top-notch team to take on global distribution. With Jon Rutherford at the helm, we could not be more thrilled to have them represent our catalog, and we look forward to working closely with them on our new series, Heavy Lifting.”
