“OzarksWatch Video Magazine” is produced by Missouri State University and OPT. The series was created in 1999 to document, present and preserve the Ozarks’ evolving history and traditions. Jim Baker and Dale Moore serve as hosts for the show.

Throughout the past 14 seasons, the series has highlighted a variety of people, places, events, industries and talents. Examples of show titles include “The Civil War Battle of Springfield,” “Tradition and Talent: The Possum Holler Fiddlers,” “Christian County A-Z,” “Laura Ingalls Wilder Profile” and “Ozarks Sayings and Expressions.”

“The Ozarks provides an unlimited amount of remarkable program ideas,” said Tom Carter, OPT programming and production manager. “The joy of this series is the people we meet, sites we visit and things that we learn and can share with our viewers.”

The milestone 200th episode was “Free Flowing: The Buffalo, America’s First National River.” It featured series host Jim Baker and guest Todd Parnell as they floated along part of the Buffalo River in Arkansas.

“We are so grateful to everyone who has contributed to the success of ‘OzarksWatch,’ ” said OPT General Manager Tammy Wiley. “Our guests have welcomed us with open arms and enriched our lives by sharing their unique experiences about life in the Ozarks. The program continues to be a viewer favorite and we look forward to many more great years ahead.”
