San Antonio, Texas (December 3, 2012) - CarecoTV is proud to announce an expanded partnership with Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the global leader in satellite navigation. As a result of this partnership, Garmin becomes the presenting sponsor of Americana Outdoors®, one of the nation's longest running outdoor programs.
Americana Outdoors® has been entertaining viewers for over 20 years, with an exciting blend of hunting and fishing adventures. The Americana Outdoors staff visits some of the best destinations in the world - from big game hunting in the continental US, to chasing tarpon in Costa Rica or Redfish in Louisiana, along with stops everywhere in between; Americana Outdoors® brings the action to your living room. Broadcast to over 120 million homes via networks including NBC Sports Outdoors, the Pursuit Channel, and other national and regional networks, viewers can join in on the adventures 52 weeks a year.
According to Wade Middleton, President of CarecoTV, "2013 will be a busy season of travel. Between hunting, fishing, and filming, we'll be in the truck or in the boat most of the season. With Garmin electronics at our side, I'm confident in all our navigation both on and off the water. I look forward to showcasing their wide array of products, from personal hand-held devices, to the latest marine sonar technology, Garmin has us covered every step of the way."
In addition to integration in the show, Garmin will also receive additional exposure through an all new AmericanaOutdoors.com, where fans of the show can catch past episodes, tips and techniques, industry news, and exclusive promotions and offers.
"Garmin is proud to have worked with Americana Outdoors for many years, and we're excited to now be the presenting sponsor of this highly respected outdoor program," said Jon Cassat, Garmin's Vice President of Communications. "Whether he's on the way to the blind or in the bass boat, Wade is a strong believer in using Garmin products to make his time outdoors more enjoyable and successful."
