Hudson Native Geraghty Joins Cast of 'Discover Wisconsin'

Producers announced Tuesday that four new faces, and one face familiar with long-time viewers, will host the nation’s longest running tourism program, Discover Wisconsin.  

This is the first time the show has introduced a multi-host format since 2003. Hudson's own Collin Geraghty, Mariah Haberman, Libby Amato and Eric Paulsen will debut on Discover Wisconsin for its 27th season, which premieres November 2-3, 2013.
 
“We’ve outgrown ourselves time and again for nearly three decades, but the need to expand our team has become increasingly apparent in recent years,” said Chad Diedrick, managing producer for Discover Wisconsin. “The ‘Discover Team’ concept makes perfect sense and it all clicked when we saw the four of them together. Add to that the return of Stephanie Klett, and we have the perfect mix of hosts to showcase Wisconsin.”
 
Managing director Greg Smith also noted that Discover Wisconsin is covering more destinations and events in a single season than ever before. The show is set to cover more than 50 destinations in its 2014 season – up from 20 in 2009.
 
Geraghty and Haberman will serve as the show’s co-hosts, showcasing Wisconsin’s unique traditions, places, events and hidden gems each week. Amato and Paulsen have been tapped as field hosts and will appear in select episodes throughout the season. The 2014 season will also mark the return of former host and current Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Tourism, Stephanie Klett, who will return to Discover Wisconsin to host three new episodes.
 
In addition to her hosting duties, Haberman also leads Discover Wisconsin’s marketing efforts including integrating the full Discover Team into its social media strategy – giving followers unique insight from all four hosts.
