Outdoor Channel’s ‘For Love or Likes’ Begins Season Four on April 2 at 7 p.m. ET

Posted on March 31, 2020April 7, 2020 by George Apregan

DENVER (March 31, 2020) – Outdoor Channel’s For Love or Likes, billed as the world’s only insta-famous hunting competition that provides women with a passion for hunting and a strong social-media following, will begin Season Four on Thursday, April 2 at 7 p.m. ET.

For Love or Likes experienced ratings success throughout its third season by creating a unique program that offers women who love/like to hunt and fish – and boast a strong social media following – with the opportunity to showcase their prowess in hunting, shooting and fishing.

“The initial idea of the show was to see if these social media influencers were actually drawn to the outdoor lifestyle and participated – “love” – or were they just trying to gain a bigger social media following – “likes” – to enhance opportunities for future endeavors unrelated to the outdoors,” Executive Producer Matt Busbice admitted. “We quickly found out these women were serious about their outdoor pursuits and viewers liked the premise.”

The trail for women entering outdoor lifestyle activities – hunting, shooting, fishing – was blazed by Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel stars who exposed a future generation of young women, with a fervor for the outdoors, to the possibilities of following their passion. For Love or Likes (4LOL) has built its audience with future outdoor trailblazers that are using social media to demonstrate their love of the outdoors, and not just likes online.

For Love or Likes airs Thursdays at 7 p.m. ET on Outdoor Channel.

‘Florida Sportsman Watermen’ on World Fishing Network on Thursdays at 10:30 p.m. ET

Posted on March 26, 2020March 30, 2020 by George Apregan

DENVER (March 26, 2020) – Feel the passion of fishing in Florida through the souls of the people living to protect it on Florida Sportsman Watermen on World Fishing Network every Thursday at 10:30 p.m. ET.

In keeping with Florida Sportsman magazine’s decades old mix of featuring excellent how-to and where-to fishing, sprinkled in with hard-hitting advocacy, it was only natural that Florida Sportsman launch its new TV show, Florida Sportsman Watermen.

The southeast and southwest toxic algae blooms, red tide, seagrass die-offs in Florida Bay and in Titusville, the degradation of many of the state’s springs and the harmful effects of dredging in South Florida are just some of the issues covered in the first season. These issues and more affect Floridians’ ability to find fishable waters.

Florida’s potential fishing opportunities are unlike any other region or state, seemingly endless in species to target and locations to launch from. But, there’s a thread that ties them all together: water – clean, healthy water.

In each episode of the new series, host Captain Benny Blanco and his expert guests will fish Florida’s spectacular back-country, nearshore and offshore waters.

Tune into Florida Sportsman Watermen on Thursdays at 10:30 p.m. ET on
World Fishing Network. Check local listings to find the network in your area.
