Primedia Adds Shows to Outdoors Group
Posted on April 4, 2005
Primedia has announced the launch of four new cable television shows from its Outdoors Group. Adding to a line-up that includes In-Fisherman TV, In-Fisherman Critical Concepts, The Professional Walleye Trail, Guns & Ammo TV, and North American Whitetail TV, the company has launched Shallow Water Angler TV, Florida Sportsman TV, and Bowhunter TV in 2005. Additionally, two yet-to-be-named shooting and hunting shows are also slated to launch in the fall of 2005, and the fall of 2006 respectively. The new TV programming will be distributed almost exclusively through The Outdoor Channel (TOC), with extended distribution on the Sunshine Network, and the Outdoor Life Network. The launch of its 2005 line-up also marks Primedia Outdoors' entry into high definition programming. TOC will soon launch a new network offering its programming entirely in HDTV, using programs both shared and independent of the existing Outdoor Channel. Roll-out to HD will span the entire stable of Primedia Outdoors programs and by 2007; all 10 of its series will be produced in HD. Movement to this new format will offer outdoor enthusiasts the ultimate viewer experience.
