Pursuit Network Coming to Dish Network
If your like me the lost of the MOR (Men’s Outdoor Recreational channel) earlier this year was a serious blow to your TV watching. I have Dish Network and that left me with the Outdoor Channel that seems to run a fair amount of infomercials and panning for gold as well as hunting and fishing. VS made a move to get some of their viewers back by setting up blocks of time to run hunting shows in between the hockey and the rodeos (fine shows but not hunting). Other networks have tried to come on board to fill the void that MOR left but so far nothing has but hope maybe on the horizon.
Pursuit Network is set to launch in early February on channel 230 on the Dish Network which is a channel everyone on Dish should receive without any type of upgrade. Another words part of the Basic service baby. The Pursuit Network is being run by the same folks who run Country Adventure Network and some names I’m sure folks will recognize; Rusty Falk(CEO), O’Neill Williams (Producer), and an advisory board with some big names in the outdoors; Dr. Grant Woods (Biologist), Kirk Thomas (Founder/ Wheelin’ Sportsman/ Pursuing A Dream), Steve Scruggs (Naturalist & Founder Let’s Get Wild), Kevin King (President of Year One), Dr. Warren Strickland (Cardiologist by trade/ Passionate Bow Hunter @ Heart), and Steve Gruber (President of Wolf Creek Productions).
They promise to be a true outdoor network and to not be a “disguised infomercial network”. This could be very good we’ll wait and see what shows decide to join them and how this whole thing develops.
I hope DIRECTV carries it as part of the basic package too!
