Outdoor America Launches Salt Water Sportsman Thursdays

Outdoor America, the network for people passionate about outdoor sports and recreation, is excited to announce that they are joining forces with Salt Water Sportsman to launch the network’s Thursday Fishing Block of programming. Salt Water Sportsman Thursday premieres December 4 on Outdoor America’s FAST channel.

Featuring a mix of documentaries, conversations, boat tests and reviews, how-to advice and adventures, Salt Water Sportsman Thursday brings a full day of fan-favorite fishing shows and personalities, along with fresh series from up-and-coming talent, powered by the original name in saltwater fishing.

“Outdoor America has been a big supporter and distribution partners for our flagship TV series Sport Fishing Television for a long time,” says Shawn Bean, editorial director of Salt Water Sportsman and writer/director of Sport Fishing Television. “The network has quickly grown into one of the most virulent voices for anglers and the outdoor enthusiast community. This new, expanded partnership gives us a platform to share a wide variety of fishing content to an exponentially growing audience.”

Originally published in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1939, Salt Water Sportsman has evolved into one of the premier recreational fishing titles. The brand has grown from its original roots in New England to cover fishing across America as well as the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America. Key areas of focus include tactics, tackle, boats, gear, travel and conservation. Salt Water Sportsman’s team of editors and contributors teaches, entertains, advises, and advocates in print and across a network that includes digital, video, TV, social media, email, and seminars.

“We are proud to be able to add Salt Water Sportsman to our growing list of partners,” said Jamie Wilkinson, Executive Vice President of Outdoor America. “To have a publication of their stature present our Thursday Fishing Block of programming adds to the reach both entities will have to the outdoor community.”

Salt Water Sportsman is part of Firecrown, the Chattanooga, Tennessee, media and events company that has a varied portfolio of outdoor enthusiast brands including Boating, Yachting, Sport Fishing, Cruising World, Sailing World, Power & Motoryacht, and Soundings.
