I want to thank so many viewers for writing to me. I would like to give you my gratitude for expressing your sincere interest in viewing our show. It makes me feel good to read your letters because sometimes I get to wondering if I am sharing something you want to see.
Also many of you wrote about your frustration of not being able to see our show anymore because of the loss of MOR. As most of you already know by now and from my last letter, one of our show distributors, the Men’s Outdoors and Recreation (MOR) channel has gone out of business and is no longer broadcasting any programs either on Dish or DirecTV.
We are still broadcasting on The Sportsman Channel throughout the USA on many cable networks. In Canada we are broadcasting on the Wild TV network channel on both satellite and cable networks. (Wild TV is a separate broadcasting channel network in Canada and is not affiliated with us here at WOA Productions or Wild Outdoor Adventures television).
There are also now a few groups that are working on putting together other channel networks to take up the massive void in the outdoor programming market caused by the closing of the MOR channel. MOR had approximately 100 producers of hunting and fishing programming in their broadcast schedule before their demise.
I feel there is a lot of room for growth in hunting and fishing outdoor programming and the number of viewers are there to support the addition of another good outdoor programming broadcast channel. But I also believe this new channel will need to reach the many households in the USA that are not only on cable networks, but on satellite as well local broadcasting channels.
Another option I am considering is to “self-syndicate” our show to your local broadcasting stations. It would require that I enter into a broadcasting agreement with each individual broadcasting station. That is quite involved, since it would require us to directly distribute the show to hundreds of individual stations each week. But I am seriously considering this option as a way to increase our distribution to the viewers and not make it subject to viewer loss nationwide by any one channel as happened with MOR.
I need your help to do this… If you would like me to distribute Cliff’s Wild Outdoor Adventures television program to your local broadcasting station, I need to know which ones you are watching. It would help also if your local channel were to hear from you, the viewer. Let them know you would like to watch Cliff’s Wild Outdoor Adventures and request them to add it to their programming. So please request your local channel to add our show and forward our contact details to them. Our contact details are:
Attn: Distribution Director WOA Productions Cliff’s Wild Outdoor Adventures 6421 NE 171 Street Vancouver , WA 98686 or email at info@woatv.com When you send the request to your local channel, let me know as well, so we can follow up with them about your request. Here is another twist on the subject. I am willing to work with other show producers to accomplish this. So please let me know which hunting and fishing shows you enjoyed the most that you lost on MOR. I will contact them and discuss the possibility to work jointly with them to send to each station a distribution or our shows for a hunting and fishing “block” of time (maybe a couple of hours of hunting and fishing on a certain night) on their channel for you to enjoy.
Thank you for your help and I am optimistic that our efforts in adding the distribution of broadcasting to get the show out to you will be successful! |
