Sportsman Channel, the leader in outdoor TV for the American Sportsman, announced the launch of Sportsman HD in select Comcast Cable markets in Michigan and Indiana. Sportsman HD is available on channel 1631 in Indiana and channel 990 in Michigan.
Sportsman Channel’s programming offerings include many of the industry’s leading series as well as ground-breaking lifestyle and adventure shows, like MeatEater and Dropped, as well as the first-ever news-talk TV series for the outdoors genre called NRANEWS Cam & Co. The programming matches the network’s drive to present more of the lifestyle of people who love – and live – to hunt, shoot and fish, including stories about travel, adventure, survival, cooking and eating, work, family, collecting and more.
“At Comcast Cable, we are focused on providing value to our customers through great video content that is high quality and appeals to a wide range of viewer interests,” said Mary Maliga-Brown, Senior Director of Marketing, Comcast Heartland Region. “The addition of Sportsman HD allows us to expand our high-definition offerings and deliver ‘outdoor TV’ in a more robust and vivid digital format.”
“Comcast Cable is a valued partner and we are energized to announce the ongoing expansion of Sportsman HD,” said Sportsman Channel CEO Gavin Harvey. “There is no better way to experience the great outdoors and the sportsman lifestyle than in stunning HD, and we look forward to delivering the most entertaining and informative HD programming to Heartland’s customers and expanding to reach even more of today’s 80 million American sportsmen and women nationwide.”
