WFN Partners with ArmyBassAnglers to Feature Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Forces Showcasing Their Angling Prowess
WFN: World Fishing Network, North America’s only television network, online and mobile platform dedicated exclusively to fishing and outdoor enthusiasts and ArmyBassAnglers (ABA) have joined forces in a broadcast agreement which will make WFN the exclusive home of ABA’s signature television series, FORCE on FORCE.
FORCE on FORCE: Season 2 premieres on WFN starting in January 2013. Each week, teams representing four of the five branches of the United States Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines) will compete head-to-head in a no-holds-barred military operation to bring in the biggest legal limit and top dawg service branch bragging rights. Two brackets, each consisting of four teams representing the four branches of the Armed Forces, participate in a single-elimination tournament with the finalists from each bracket battling head-to-head for the championship and title of FORCE on FORCE Champions.
“WFN is excited to partner with ArmyBassAnglers to bring this one-of-a-kind television series that features the skill and determination of these members of the Armed Forces that is FORCE on FORCE,” said Mark Rubinstein, President & CEO of World Fishing Network. “WFN is proud to support the service and dedication of these anglers to their country.”
Hosted by Major Cody Roberson , each of the eight FORCE on FORCE: Season 2 episodes appearing on WFN in 2013 include service member profiles with HUMIT (Human Intelligence Reports), operational butcher block briefings, G2 Intelligence Lake Reports and after-action (AAR) debriefs within the TOC ( Tactical Operations Center ), just like small, platoon level actual tactical operations.
“Our large viewing audience and corps of sponsors who support the show are excited about World Fishing Network being the new home of FORCE on FORCE,” added Major Cody Roberson, President & Founder of ArmyBassAnglers. “While the teams on the water will look to adapt to an ever-changing environment, contend with equipment failures and malfunctions, poor map recons, and pre-combat checks/inspections (PCCs/PCIs) in order to overcome and defeat the other service branches and claim the title FORCE on FORCE Champion, it’s the viewers who come away as the biggest winners as they learn what does and doesn’t work from some of the top guns in the country.
“Viewers also get a small taste of what small unit tactics and lingo looks and feels like while getting to know some of America ’s Heroes, who have served this country so proudly, on a whole new level.”
