(Beasley bros with good reason to smile)
It will be a Christmas to remember this year for at least three Canadian Hunting Shows!
The Canadian Tradition, Canada in the Rough and Angler & Hunter Television have all found new homes for the 2013 broadcast season.
Thanks to Bob Valcov of Safari Club International (SCI) and Mike Pollington of Pollington Productions (producer of The Canadian Tradition) for sharing with me the best Christmas news imaginable.
It seems even the Grinch himself (AKA Global Television) couldn’t stop Christmas from coming this year. Rogers -owned Outdoor Life Network (OLN) and SUN TV are among the Networks stepping- up to the plate this coming year, and God Bless them I say!
“When Global announced their unfortunate decision we recognized that this was going to change the game in Canada.” said Kevin Beasley, Co-Host of Canada in the Rough.
Some excellent coverage coming-up for Canada in the Rough specifically as it will now be found on The Sportsman Channel in the United States and on the following networks in Canada: OLN (Outdoor Life Network), Sun News, WildTV, CHEX, Ch12 Durham, CKWS, and for the first time ever, Canada in the Rough will be translated into French and aired on RDS (owned by Bell Media) for the francophone viewers.
Let me be the first to congratulate all those Network execs who made the personal decision to air these shows for 2013. I call this a major win for the good guys and a real step in the right direction!
No word yet on the remaining 2 hunting shows affected by the cancellation, but I have my fingers crossed!
