Ed Goes International to Get The Job Done!
(Toronto – February 26, 2008) - Musician and resident adventurer Ed Robertson gears up for another high-flying season of Ed's Up premiering Sunday, March 8 on OLN.
"We're delighted to have a new season of Ed's Up back on OLN," says Alain Strati, Vice President of Specialty Television and Development, Rogers Media Television. "Ed Robertson is a multi-talented guy, and the show reflects the adventurous nature of our channel, and of our audience."
This season Ed explores his own emotional and physical limits as he ventures to far off countries to experience some of the world’s most difficult jobs. Each episode sees Ed landing in a different town meeting a new boss and facing a new challenge. Watch as Ed connects with grade six students in a Jamaican school and tries his hand at coffee farming, takes to the streets of London as a push bike courier, navigates the Alberta tar sands as a Fort McMurray mechanic, learns how to dispose of human remains and more. Ed takes it all in stride with his trademark Canadian charm and down-to-earth attitude.
Over the past two season's Ed had logged some serious flight-time in his Cessna airplane, crossing North America and taking on a series of on-the-job challenges and performing some skillful water landings in his new floatplane. From the army to the CFL, from a New York City Hospital to a NASCAR pit and an Alberta slaughter house, you might say Ed has done it all!
They may be tough jobs but somebody's gotta do 'em! Catch the third season of Ed's Up Sunday March 8 at 8pm ET/PT.
