PORT ANGELES — Logging on the North Olympic Peninsula is about to go prime time in two reality TV shows that feature a Port Angeles-based logging company.
In June, Rygaard Logging, Inc. of Port Angeles was filmed as part of a new NBC show, “America’s Toughest Jobs.”
It also will be featured on the next season of “Ax Men,” shown on cable’s The History Channel.
Both shows are produced by Original Productions, which also produces “Deadliest Catch” on The Discovery Channel and “Ice Road Truckers” on The History Channel.
The first episode of “America’s Toughest Jobs” aired on Aug. 25, and the series will run through November.
Gabe Rygaard, Rygaard president, said the episode involving his company likely will be aired in five weeks.
“Ax Men” will be filmed this fall and aired in the spring.
