West Point, MS – Effective immediately, Ducks Unlimited TV (“DU TV”) is moving to the Sportsman Channel. The shift by DU TV to Sportsman Channel represents yet another milestone for America’s original conservation-based television series. Production partners on DU TV since 2013, Ducks Unlimited (DU) and MOOSE Media believe that this new linear and digital (MyOutdoorTV - MOTV) distribution package represents a most-exciting complement to DU TV.
The new blockbuster media association also features nameplate positioning for Ducks Unlimited through one of the television category’s most extensive waterfowl and wing-shooting content block, with premier episodes of DU TV batting in the lead-off spot Saturday afternoons at 2 p.m. EST on Sportsman Channel.
Starting July 3, DU TV will air four times per week before beginning an annual 52-week schedule with the network in January 2022. Please visit ducks.org for complete 2021 scheduling of DU TV on Sportsman Channel, and for digital on-demand viewing from the series’ encore libraries.
As the longest running, conservation-first outdoor television series, DU TV is the primary instrument of broadcast outreach for the worlds’ largest and most successful member-based wetlands and wildlife conservation organization. Founded in 1937, the organization recently surpassed 15 million acres conserved through wetland conservation projects across North America, with increased opportunities for waterfowl recruitment and waterfowl hunting on public and private lands as a top priority.
“For approximately three decades, DU TV has been one of the most important and effective tools Ducks Unlimited utilizes to reach active waterfowl enthusiasts,” said Ducks Unlimited CEO Adam Putnam. “These conservationists are the backbone of our organization and are the reason we have achieved such great heights in wetlands and waterfowl conservation. We’re excited about the future for DU and DU TV.”
“The positive impact to wildlife and wetlands by DU and DU TV is legendary,” said Toxey Haas, Founder of Mossy Oak. “We are all-in on DU’s extraordinary mission of conservation, and we are super excited about the new energy represented by the DU TV shift to Sportsman, and by the market-leading powerhouse that’s represented by that network’s associated media properties.”
DU TV features waterfowl action from the most historic, unique and productive venues in North America, as well as segments devoted to guns and gear, waterfowl species and their habitats, retriever training, calling expertise and shotgun skills. Stories delivered by world-class biologists, together with those told from the ranks of outdoors’ most envied member volunteers, have always lent DU TV a proprietary excellence that is unduplicated.
On-air personalities for the 2021 edition include Doug Larsen, Fred Zink, Adam Putnam, Mike Stewart and Phil Bourjaily. In partnership with Mossy Oak Brand Camouflage, the official camouflages of Ducks Unlimited, Browning, Mossy Oak Properties, Drake Waterfowl Systems, Higdon, Purina, Zink Calls, MOOSE Media and TETRA Hearing, DU TV remains an essential element in the perpetuities of waterfowl, the grand-passage tradition of waterfowl hunting and the life-sustaining nourishments that healthy wetlands represent for all of those to come.
