When is philip defranco on shark week

The online video superstar behind YouTube sensations The Phil DeFranco Show and SourceFed will appear on your television sets between never-before-seen programs with names like Air Jaws Apocalypse , Sharkzilla , and other titles conceived by combining famous sports slogans, world-ending events, and fictional monsters of mass destruction.

Defranco broke the Shark Week news to his fans via a recent YouTube vlog, in which his excitement for the gig is palpable. I get to not only work with a channel I love to watch, on my favorite thing that they produce, but I get to be the part that integrates the internet into all of it. Are you kidding me? This is awesome. Audiences stood in lines that wrapped entire city blocks to watch the world's first summer blockbuster.

Careers were made, fortunes created, and ways of directing and scoring movies and shooting special effects were all changed forever when it was released. But the impact the film had on the oceans and their inhabitants was as big as the audience it found - and just as surprising.

In the aftermath of the film's release, great white sharks were vilified and killed, leading to their near-disappearance from the eastern seaboard. At the same time, public fascination with sharks led to a golden age of shark science that completely changed our view of the ocean and how it works.

And as the science began showing us how real sharks behave, it spurred a worldwide conservation effort whose earliest champion was Jaws author Peter Benchley. This is the inspiring true story of two war heroes - one an Olympian, one a pastor's son - who managed to survive a record-breaking 47 days at sea in a life raft.

They subsisted on only the food they were able to catch from the ocean and the water they were able to collect from the rain, all while fighting off a gang of sharks that were their constant companions.

But when they finally did reach land, it was only the beginning of their troubles. What happened to these men is one of the greatest tests of faith, will and endurance of our time. Yet even after the attacks, they're still fighting, but what for will surprise you. Amazingly, dozens of shark attack victims around the world have devoted their lives to saving their attackers. They have turned what could have been tragedy into their life's mission, becoming some of the most powerful shark advocates on the planet.

Meet the Shark Survivors and hear their stories of resilience and triumph as they fight what they consider the ultimate battle: saving sharks and our oceans. Teams of scientists from Stanford University's Hopkins Marine Station in Monterey Bay have spent years tagging and tracking these sharks to find out why they come here, why they leave and where they go when they do - out into the Pacific on the Great White Highway.

But the sharks have kept much about their lives completely secret, leaving researchers with little information about what they spend their summers doing and almost no idea about where they mate or bear their young. Now, armed with new technologies, the team is hoping to wire the ocean and find out how these sharks live their lives- and why California is one of the biggest stops on the Great White Highway.
