Go GTS Live! – The Hobby’s Web Show
GTS Distribution is proud to introduce The Hobby’s first LIVE web show dedicated to the sports and entertainment collectibles. Inspired by the quality content of the Cardboard Connection Radio Show, that stopped airing late in 2014, this interactive, video talk show will serve as the go-to resource for hobby related information. Viewers will be treated to the latest product information, news, trends and guest interviews. This web show will be the perfect platform to not only discuss the hobby and products, but also to see the latest offerings from each manufacturer. The show promises to be a positive, entertaining, informative and constructive resource for The Hobby.
Go GTS Live, The Hobby’s Web Show can be seen LIVE, every Thursday at 9pm EST on Periscope, YouTube, Facebook, TWITCH and Livestream.com.

Go GTS Live! – The Hobby’s Web Show – Show Features
Go GTS Live features our hosts engaged in witty, informed banter about the positive aspects of the hobby and the relative sports and entertainments happenings of the week. Additionally, here are a few regularly planned segments:
Guest Interviews: Live guest interviews will take place via webcam, mobile device, Skype. Guests will include manufacturer representatives, athletes, authors, hobby influencers and more.
Hot In The Shop: Our weekly blog segment will make its way live on the web show. Each week we’ll spend a few minutes talking not only about recently released products, but also what’s coming the following week.
Product Rewind: Everyone knows that good products don’t always get the attention they deserve when they first come out. This segment takes a look at products and ideas that have been released previously, and gives collectors and shops a reason or two to go back and take another look.
Future Watch: A look at some of the top prospects making news each week, and what products they can be found in, and their potential long-term hobby outlook.
Toy Focus: Collectors will get a look at some cool toys coming to market including action figures and more!
Live Box Breaks: Featured breaks of newer product releases and hits given away to LIVE viewers!
