Other “Deadly” news from Discovery:

“Deadliest Catch” to be broadcast in HD for the first time this seasonThis year, injuries dominate the season, “Two men get hurt
by a loose picking hook — one of the most dangerous things that can happen on deck. A deckhand’s season — and livelihood — are threatened doing something he’s done a thousand times before. And a fisherman is forced to end his fishing season early after a situation quickly turns
life-threatening.”

• On the Deadliest Catch marketing end, the skippers of the show will be larger then life in New York “In addition to bus shelter ads throughout New York, the fishermen will tower above the Big Apple with wallscapes in locations such as 42nd & 8th (visible from the top of the Empire State Building) and Houston & Lafayette Streets. The men will also be featured prominently on the West Side Highway billboard at 123rd.”
