| “We could not be more excited to announce this new partnership that pairs the global marketing expertise of Discover Long Island with our local and trusted source for all things Long Island, News 12,” said Kristen Reynolds, President & CEO of Discover Long Island. “While Discover Long Island has spent decades cultivating a global audience of over 10 million followers across our channels, these weekly News 12 segments allow us to reach the hyper-local regional and Tri-State audiences who are hungry for Long Island content and can support our local businesses year-round.” The East End show, which airs on News 12 on Saturdays and Sundays at 9:30 a.m., features a 90-second “Spotlight” segment produced in-house by Discover Long Island. “Discover
Long Island’s work is invaluable to the livelihood of destinations throughout
the East End, such as our beautiful Montauk,” said Mariah
Miltier, Executive Director of the Montauk Chamber of Commerce.
“We are always looking for ways to up our marketing efforts so we couldn’t
be happier to have our relationship with Discover Long Island to get the
word out, year-round, regarding all of what our iconic beach town has to
offer, and now, seeing Montauk highlighted on this show is such a great
bonus!”
