Formation

The Ferry Building - San Francisco, CA

TRC's inception was formed February 2014.[1]

A consortium including Orange Coast College was formed.[2]

In Summer 2017, for its biggest broadcasts such as the HOCR, TRC became a managing partner of the operation with Iron Will Productions in Los Angeles, California.

In 2018, TRC was brought in as a special consultant to the audio/video operation of the San Diego Crew Classic, whose broadcast is coordinated by USRowing. A time-brokerage agreement with the Pac-12 Network is pending to extend coverage to UC Los Angeles and Marina Del Rey.
