DENVER (April 13, 2016) – Outdoor Sportsman Group Networks (OSG) is inviting viewers to watch a 30-minute special previewing its new, original program American Marksman, a revolutionary amateur shooting competition scheduled to premiere on Outdoor Channel in late 2016. To maximize exposure and increase competitor registrations, OSG will be airing the half-hour special titled: “Are YOU the American Marksman? on both Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel for an entire month. The special will feature qualifying rounds, as well as behind-the-scenes and early-round action leading up to the final show’s premiere.

The “Are YOU the American Marksman? special will be hosted by 2012 U.S. Olympic shooting team member, Amanda Furrer and will first air on Outdoor Channel on Saturday, April 16 at 8 p.m. ET and on Sportsman Channel on Monday, April 18 at 7:30 p.m. ET. Encore presentations of the special will air weekly in the same time slots on both networks – on the following Saturdays and Mondays respectively – through May 23.

“The ‘American Marksman’ program will feature everyday people competing against their friends, family and the rest of the country in this unique shooting competition,” said show producer Michael Bane. “We are excited that Outdoor Sportsman Group Networks are airing an early round special leading up to the program’s premiere because it will demonstrate to viewers how fun and exciting the American Marksman competition is, what participants can win, how to sign up to compete and even potentially be on the final show.”

The American Marksman program airing later this year will showcase a national search for the best amateur shooter in the United States where the winner will earn up to $50,000 in cash and prizes, and the title of the American Marksman. Registration to participate is available at AMMarksman.com.

Outdoor Channel Launches New Original Series “Alaska’s Wild Gourmet” on April 2 at 7 p.m. ET/PT

Organic Cooking Series Adds to Network’s Newly Expanded Programming Lineup

DENVER (March 30, 2016) – Outdoor Channel cooks up another original series with
Alaska’s Wild Gourmet, premiering on Saturday, April 2 at 7 p.m. ET/PT. The new series follows the high-spirited and hard-working Ewing family as they manage a bustling, remote catering business creating five-star gourmet meals made straight from mother nature’s ultimate test kitchen – the wild, Alaskan outdoors. Conquering one of the last culinary frontiers, this pioneering series tackles some of the country’s toughest terrain to redefine what it means to “eat like a wild man.”

“Farm-to-table cuisine is taken to an entirely new level when we see the understanding of local resources and commitment to quality it takes for the Ewing family to create such exquisite meals on Alaska’s Wild Gourmet,” said Mitch Petrie, vice president, programming for Outdoor Sportsman Group Networks (OSG), the parent company of Outdoor Channel. “We expect viewers to be amazed by the creativity and resourcefulness the Ewings use to prepare their unique and lavish culinary experiences, and to fall in love with the family’s adventurous spirit, reverence of nature and deep sense of loyalty.”

The mobile camp kitchen, and heart of the show, was created by Sherri, the owner and matriarch of the family’s upscale, remote catering business – “Red Hot Cooking.” The head chef is her son, Bradley. The natural-born outdoorsman and classically-trained culinary artist graduated from the world-renowned, Le Cordon Bleu in 2004 before moving to Alaska to join his mother. Bradley’s sister, Amy, rounds out the good-humored cast as the company’s visual designer, charged with the tall task of helping her mom and brother create the family’s swanky and purely Alaskan dining experiences.

Passionate about creating meals made entirely from locally foraged, fished and farmed ingredients, the cast of Alaska’s Wild Gourmet braves the most secluded corners of the Alaskan bush, endures the ever-changing weather, and even risks encounters with deadly animals in the first season’s eight episodes. And things get saucy from the very beginning.

On the premiere episode, the family decides to give back to a local Kodiak veteran community by serving an appreciation dinner overlooking the beautiful, heavily forested island. However, when unexpected high winds and a looming storm front threaten to ruin the entire function, tensions nearly reach a boiling point among the Ewing clan in an episode as unpredictable as the local climate.
From beach banquets and mountain meals to birthday bashes in the bush, no terrain is too tough for the Ewings’ delectable mobile kitchen creations. Alaska’s Wild Gourmet satisfies the appetite for adventure while demonstrating that it is truly possible to live off of the land – and it’s delicious.

Click Alaska’s Wild Gourmet to get a nibble of the original series that will leave viewers hungry for more. Fans can follow and interact with the show to discuss meals and more on Twitter using #AlaskasWildGourmet.

In addition to the original series, viewers can discover even more about Alaska by watching other series on the network including:

Since moving to OSG Networks, Outdoor Channel has been expanding its brand to include more original programming like Alaska’s Wild Gourmet and the conservation and wildlife investigation series Carter’s W.A.R. (Wildlife Animal Response), as well as airing syndicated hit franchise programs like Duck Dynasty and Top Shot in efforts to expose a fuller range of outdoor adventure programming and appeal to wider audiences.

Easton Bowhunting (Fridays at 10 p.m. ET): Fred Eichler, host of the refreshing and educational bowhunting series, is strapped up with a recurve bow, an apparatus that’s limbs curve away from the archer when unstrung causing it to store and deliver energy more efficiently than a straight bow.
