Glenwood, AL – Pursuit Media TV, LLC is thrilled to announce a significant distribution upgrade with Verizon Fios. Effective immediately, Pursuit Channel has moved from a higher pay tier to the Extended Basic tier across the Fios footprint, adding over 1.2 million additional homes.
This expansion is a direct result of the sustained popularity and strong performance of Pursuit Channel's programming among Fios subscribers and reflects the network's continued growth in a challenging linear television landscape.
"While many linear networks are experiencing subscriber and viewership declines, Pursuit Channel continues to grow — both in audience size and in strategic distribution partnerships," said Rusty Faulk, CEO of Pursuit Media. "Verizon's decision to move us to Extended Basic is a powerful endorsement of the quality, passion, and loyalty our content inspires. We're grateful to Verizon for recognizing that Pursuit delivers real value to their customers."
Pursuit has posted consistent gains in viewership and engagement across its platforms over the last few years. The network's flagship shows — including The High Road with Keith Warren, MOJO Untamed, Higdon Outdoors TV, Red Arrow, Canadian Whitetail, Hank Parker Outdoor Magazine, Strike Zone Tuesdays fishing block, and Bass Pro Shops Collegiate Series — continue to resonate strongly with outdoor enthusiasts nationwide.
The move to Extended Basic on Fios (Channel 818 in most markets) makes Pursuit Channel more accessible than ever to Verizon customers without requiring a premium package upgrade.
"We're not just surviving — we're thriving," added Faulk. "This expansion with Verizon Fios is the latest proof that authentic, high-quality outdoor programming continues to attract viewers and partners in today's evolving media environment."
