Pursuit Channel and Verizon Fios Announce Multi-Year Agreement

Pursuit Channel, America’s premier network for hunting, fishing, shooting, and outdoor lifestyle programming, is excited to announce a new multi-year carriage agreement with Verizon Fios, extending and expanding its distribution to millions more subscribers. This landmark deal enhances Pursuit Channel’s presence on Verizon Fios’s 100% fiber-optic network, bringing its high-definition outdoor content to an even broader audience across the United States.

Building on a successful partnership that began in 2016, this expanded agreement ensures Pursuit Channel remains a staple for Verizon Fios subscribers while introducing its programming to new markets within Fios’s footprint. With Verizon Fios serving approximately 2.6 million TV subscribers and growing its broadband base to 7.3 million in Q1 2025, this deal positions Pursuit Channel to reach millions of additional viewers, reinforcing its status as a category leader in outdoor entertainment.

“We’re thrilled to deepen our relationship with Verizon Fios, a provider renowned for its superior picture quality and reliability,” said Rusty Faulk, CEO of Pursuit Channel. “This agreement not only extends our reach but also amplifies our ability to deliver authentic, high-quality outdoor programming to a passionate audience. We’re grateful for Verizon’s commitment to our shared vision of celebrating the outdoor lifestyle.”

Pursuit Channel’s diverse lineup, featuring shows like Americana Outdoors, The Choice, Red Arrow, and Ted Nugent’s Spirit of the Wild, will continue to be available in stunning HD to Verizon Fios subscribers, accessible through packages like More Fios TV and The Most Fios TV, which offer 300+ and 425+ channels, respectively. The expansion also includes enhanced visibility within Fios’s Interactive Media Guide and integration with the Fios TV Home app, allowing viewers to stream Pursuit Channel content on their preferred devices.

The agreement comes on the heels of Pursuit Channel’s impressive Q1 2025 performance, where it achieved a 30% year-over-year viewership increase, reaching 46.6 million total viewers across all platforms. With its linear feed available to over 26 million homes via providers like DIRECTV, DISH Network, and Comcast Xfinity, and its digital platform, Pursuit UP, engaging 100+ million users, Pursuit Channel continues to dominate the outdoor category. This expanded Verizon Fios distribution further solidifies its market-leading footprint.
