New Berlin, WI - (December 10, 2012) - Florida Sportsman magazine's highly popular calendar on women anglers is coming to life on television for the first time when the REEL GIRLS 2013:Women Anglers of Florida Sportsman Calendar Special airs exclusively on Sportsman Channel, the leader in outdoor television for the American Sportsman. The special will give viewers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at 12 of Florida's most beautiful and skillful lady anglers on December 15 at 7:30 pm ET, with a special encore episode on Friday, December 21 at 6 pm ET. Sportsman will also have additional content and promotion across its digital and social properties.
Gone are the days of women simply going boating and riding along and watching the action. These beautiful women are stacked with superior skills that can challenge even the most seasoned male anglers. Hosted by Kelly Haggerty, the January cover model, the Women Anglers of Florida Sportsman Calendar Special is full of beauty and sultry fishing action as the ladies, most of them Floridian natives, show off their mad skills.
"These are legitimate Florida anglers and we are showcasing the women you'll find everyday fishing the waters of the Sunshine State," said Blair Wickstrom, Publisher of Florida Sportsman magazine. "You see more women fishing every day. These ladies that grace our covers and calendars weren't chosen for just their looks, they were chosen for their skills in-shore and off-shore. They are the real deal."
"We are taking this incredibly entertaining and eye-catching 'print' content and making it come to life across our multimedia platforms-TV, digital and social," said Sportsman CEO Gavin Harvey. "Florida Sportsman's calendar is a tremendous property and we're energized to give it a multiplatform presence. It's another great example of leveraging IMO's incredible resources to provide a better experience for today's American sportsmen and sportswomen."
Florida Sportsman magazine and Sportsman Channel are both part of Intermedia Outdoors (IMO), the world's largest outdoor media company.
The REEL GIRLS 2013 are more than just a pretty face: They dive, hunt, snorkel and best of all, they know how to handle a rod and reel. "Getting to soak up some sun, rock a bikini, and pull some drag - what's a better combination?" asks Deidra - Miss June of the 2013 REEL GIRLS: Women Anglers of Florida Sportsman Calendar.
