he Outdoor Channel is the only cable network dedicated to traditional outdoor sports programming 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It’s available to more than 60 million homes nationwide. Our audience is passionate about hunting and fishing. Outdoor Channel viewers lead active lifestyles and want to know that they can see great outdoor adventures whenever they tune to The Outdoor Channel.

More than 50 million Americans participate actively in hunting and fishing, according to a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service study. That translates to spending of more than $70 billion per year on traditional outdoor activities. Sportsmen created The Outdoor Channel more than 10 years ago. Sportsmen run it today. They live the brand, spending their weekends on the water and in the woods, just like the viewers do, and they know what the audience wants to see.

The Outdoor Channel’s programming brings together the best in outdoor action, whether it’s an expedition to a secret fishing spot, a big game hunt on the Texas plains, the roar of engines or a look at time-honored American pastimes such as shooting sports and rodeo. This blend of programming has created tremendous loyalty among our target audience: Men 18-55.

The foremost experts in hunting and fishing regularly appear on our viewers’ TV screens.

Jim Zumbo brings his career of more than 20 years as an outdoor writer, editor, and wildlife biologist to an Outdoor Channel exclusive production, “Jim Zumbo Outdoors.”
