“Steve possesses an extensive sports and television background and will work closely with all of the network’s departments on a day-to-day basis. First and foremost, WFN is a television network serving a passionate and underserved audience. As we prepare to implement what I view as a rededication to our exclusive fishing and outdoor lifestyle programming, it’s important to have someone with Steve’s pedigree and credentials overseeing this critical process,” added Carver.
