The Weather Channel Commissions Rocky Mountain Wreckers

Great Pacific Media has been commissioned to produce the adventure series Rocky Mountain Wreckers for The Weather Channel.

Set on the deadliest highways in the U.S., the I-80/I-15 interstate ring, the series will follow the adventures of four family-owned heavy wrecking businesses across Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, whose workers risk their lives daily to keep the roads open by clearing rollovers and collisions.

It will follow Mountain Recovery in Vale, Colorado; Stauffer’s Towing & Recovery in West Haven, Utah; Reliable Towing in Longmont, Colorado; and Big Al’s Towing in Cheyenne, Wyoming. It will also show viewers how they can travel safely under difficult weather and climate conditions.

The series will debut on The Weather Channel in the U.S. Bell Media is the Canadian production partner and has Canadian rights to the show for Discovery Canada.

“The Weather Channel is committed to sharing stories about how weather can have major, life-changing impacts on our lives,” said Nora Zimmett, president of news and original series at the Weather Group, parent company of The Weather Channel. “Rocky Mountain Wreckers follows the lives of four wrecking crews who brave extreme weather conditions just doing their daily jobs. One wrong turn can mean a business catastrophe—or even prove fatal. This series will be a great addition to our prime-time lineup, as it combines high-stakes excitement, adventure and weather stories that our viewers expect to see on The Weather Channel.”
