DENVER (Ammoland.Com) –This is the time of year when Outdoor Sportsman Group shines the brightest – when outdoorsmen and women begin their first adventures of the season.

The fall programming lineup features original premieres and new episodes from returning series across all three networks began in September.

“The Fall is our favorite time of year,” President and CEO of Outdoor Sportsman Group, Jim Liberatore said. “We know our loyal and passionate viewers will be spending most of their time in the outdoors but we hope when they come in from their activities they will sit down and  watch Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel programming that is new and exciting. We also hope when  our ‘bait and tackle’ enthusiasts come in off the water or shores they will tune into World Fishing Network and enjoy the very best outdoor lifestyle content on television.”
