Legends of Route 66 receives Official Route 66 Centennial Project designation

3/5/2025

 
Season seven of Fast TV Network’s popular TV show Legends of Route 66 has been recommended as an “Official Route 66 Centennial Project.” 

The letter received from commission member Bill Thomas stated: “Congratulations, Fast TV Network’s Legends of Route 66 Centennial Season Seven project has been recommended by the U.S. Route 66 Centennial Commission as an Official Route 66 Centennial Project.”


Fast TV Network President and CEO Mike Lee states, “We couldn’t be more honored than to receive Official Status from the U.S. Route 66 Centennial Commission. Planning for this special season of Legends of Route 66 began over three years ago. We are excited to get back on the Mother Road. Over the next several months we will be working hard to bring the excitement of the Centennial Celebration to our viewers. We would like to thank the commission and the New Mexico Route 66 Association for making this possible.”

​Fast TV Network Vice President of Production and Programming, Melissa Lea Beasley-Lee states; “This is a great honor for Fast TV Network. Creatively, this will be one of our most diverse seasons yet. Covering all eight states in one season is challenging, yet exciting as we showcase the Mother Road to the world. As president of the New Mexico Route 66 Association we are working with Fast TV Network to not only promote New Mexico, but our seven other sister Route 66 states as well.”

Fast TV Network C.O.O. Rob Wagner states; “We have a lot of surprises in store for season seven of Legends of Route 66. As we celebrate 100 years of Route 66 it is an honor to bring this to our viewers who have been so loyal to us over the past seven years. Creatively, this will be our coolest season yet!”

Pre-production has already been in progress for several months. Production begins May 1, 2025, and will continue throughout the summer. 

Legends of Route 66 Centennial Season Seven will begin streaming in November of this year. Fast TV Network is available on Roku, Amazon Fire TV and online at FastTVNetwork.com.

1/17/2024

 
Featured in this episode is the awesome history of the Enchanted Trails RV Park and Trading Post and Loyola's Family Restaurant. Also included is the newly renovated hip sensation, Hotel Zazz and finished results of the Monterey Motel's transformation! 

You guessed it, this episode is all about Route 66 through Albuquerque! 

To add to the fun, our hostess of Legends of Route 66 and New Mexico Route 66 Association President, Melissa Lea, takes us along with her to the Route 66 Road Ahead Partnership meeting taking place at the El Vada Conference Center. The meetings focus on various activities leading up to and beyond the Mother Roads Centennial in 2026. During breaks Melissa sits down with some of her fellow 
board members and attendees to chat. 

In addition to meetings, we go on a fantastic tour of Glorieta Station - a 200,000 square foot facility, once a Coors distribution center, housing a private collection of neon signs, tractors, Unser Family memorabilia, and more! The neon sign collection is regarded as one of the premier collections in the country. 

Fast TV Network Studios Carrizozo is coming along nicely. Fast TV Network Studios Tucumcari and the New Mexico Route 66 Association Museum and Visitor Center have been delayed for months. We will finally have some good news to report in November. 

​Fast TV Network is available on Roku, Amazon Fire TV and online at FastTVNetwork.com.
