Outdoor Channel's Biggest Summer Ever is 100% high definition
Add one more item to your summer HD viewing schedule as Outdoor Channel HD is making a big push to be a part of your regular watching, kicking off 13 brand new shows, and 71 debuts starting June 28 -- and all of them will be in high definition. Fitting what seems to be every possible combination of hunting, fishing, shooting and trucking, check the press release after the break for breakdowns of all the new series, or just keep an eye on your channel guide for the "Biggest Summer Ever" campaign.
Anglers hooked on Outdoor Channel's HD fishing programming
For those who thought that fishing on TV was dead as soon as ESPN cut it out in large part from its NFL-slanted coverage, Outdoor Channel would like to politely inform you that you're wrong. Dead wrong. According to the numbers, ratings for the network's Friday night fishing block increased 77% over the first half of 2007. Needless to say, the bulk of programming found in this segment is shot and aired in high-def, and just to make sure onlookers stay hooked, the channel will be adding in The Catch: Costa Rica and Fly Fishing the World (both captured in high-definition) in Q3. Anyone here helping to boost those ratings? Don't be shy now.
TWC San Antonio adds Travel HD, Outdoor Channel HD
With summer quickly approaching, Time Warner Cable's giving subscribers in San Antonio one more reason to enjoy the great outdoors from the comfort of their own couch. As of this week, the carrier has added both Travel HD (158) and Outdoor Channel HD (170) to the lineup, bringing the total of high-def channels in the area to 57. Considering the paltry lineup many other TWC customers are getting stuck with from other locales across the country, let us pass along their envy to South-Central Texas.
