Outdoor America, the premier streaming network for fishing, hunting and outdoor recreation, has joined forces with Salt Water Sportsman to launch an entire day of programming. Salt Water Sportsman Thursday premieres today on Outdoor America’s FAST channel.
Featuring a mix of documentaries, conversations, boat tests and walk-throughs, how-to advice, and adventures, Salt Water Sportsman Thursday delivers a full day of fan-favorite fishing shows and personalities, along with fresh series from up-and-coming talent, every week, powered by the original name in saltwater fishing.
“Outdoor America has been a big supporter and distribution partner for our flagship TV series Sport Fishing Television for a long time,” says Shawn Bean, editorial director of Salt Water Sportsman and writer/director of Sport Fishing Television. “The network is one of the fastest-growing voices for anglers and the outdoor enthusiast community. This new, expanded partnership gives us a platform to share a wide variety of fishing content to an exponentially increasing audience.”
Originally published in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1939, Salt Water Sportsman has evolved into one of the oldest and most recognized recreational fishing titles. The brand has grown from its roots in New England to cover fishing across America as well as the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America. Today, Salt Water Sportsman’s reach extends across digital, video, TV, social media, email, and seminars.
“We are proud to be able to add Salt Water Sportsman to our growing list of partners,” said Jamie Wilkinson, executive vice president of Outdoor America. “To have a publication of their stature present our Thursday fishing block of programming adds to the reach both entities will have to the outdoor community.”
