Thanks for all the support guys. Will be official announcements coming around SHOT show that give more details. Wanted the Hunt Talk crowd to know about it first, given many were already asking about our disappearance over on the other network.
For those of you wondering how you get Sportsman Channel in your area, here is a link. Look to the right hand side of the screen.

Like OC, SC has HD in some markets, but not others. They all are in the process of going full HD. Direct TV does not distirbute either network as HD. I think Versus is the only network distributed in full HD by all carriers.
In addition to us moving over, here are shows that are coming over from ESPN, Versus, or OC.
Easton Bowhunting TV - OC
Muzzy Bad to the Bone TV - OC
Tom Miranda's Territories Wild - ESPN
Whitetail Country - ESPN
Winchester World of Whitetail - Versus
Browning Expeditions - ESPN
New shows from the bigger name production companies:
Chambered for the Wild - New show by Miranda Productions
Beau Knows Outdoors - New show by Warm Spring Productions
Brotherhood Outdoors - New show by Warm Spring Productions
She Safari's - The Crusade
Major League Bowhunter
The World of Sports Afield
One thing Sportsman has that the other networks cannot provide our sponsors is their print titles. Their parent company, Intermedia Outdoors owns the following magazine titles that will be part of the platform that used for promo of OYOA, our message, and our sponsors.

That is a lot of reach and a lot of promotion. I am very pleased with the package tha has been provided. And, they have made it very clear how excited they are to have On Your Own Adventures and the message of hard core hunting that brings the average American hunter with it.
We will be announcing the airtimes later this spring. And the dates of web episode releases for those of you who do not have a cable/satellite subscription.
