MeatEater is Part of Outdoor Channel’s “Taste of the Wild” Block Monday Nights

DENVER (October 11, 2023) – MeatEater, featuring the charismatic Steven Rinella, has consistently captivated viewers of Outdoor Sportsman Group, and now season 11 of this perennial favorite is now available nationally on Outdoor Channel for the first time every Monday at 8 p.m. ET.

As Rinella continually shares, the show transcends beyond the mere search of an animal; it's a testament to his own personal grit, determination and essence that fuels such pursuit. Season 11 sees Rinella and crew chase moose in Alaska, spearfish in Hawaii, hunt ducks in Louisiana and find themselves in many more nature-fueled adventures along the way.

"One of my favorite episodes from season 11 was a moose hunt in eastern Alaska. We were there for ten days and were getting our buns kicked. And then, finally, in the last hour of the last day of the season here comes a bull from about a mile off. Trying to call him up the mountain while simultaneously closing the distance by heading in his direction was one of the more exciting moments we ever filmed,” shared Steven Rinella.

Growing up in the Midwest’s great outdoors – hunting, fishing, and trapping from a young age – Rinella has always viewed the world through the eyes of an ancestral hunter/gatherer. Inspired by early man’s skill, ingenuity, and sheer determination to survive and thrive under challenging circumstances, Rinella has made his life’s work to cultivate those same qualities – and encourage others to do the same – while always being mindful of conservation principles and practices.

In MeatEater, Rinella explores various hunting techniques, tracks and pursue prey, and procures and cooks his own food. Whether tracking blacktail deer in the remote Alaskan wilderness, or rooting out javelina in Texas, Rinella leverages his back-country skills, challenging himself at every corner while providing nail-biting adventure along the way.

Steven Rinella is an avid outdoorsman, writer, and television personality best known for his ability to translate the hunting lifestyle to a wide variety of audiences. He is the host of the long-running television show MeatEater and top-ranked MeatEater podcast. He is the New York Times bestselling author of ten books dealing with wildlife, hunting, fishing, and wild game cooking, most recently Outdoor Kids in an Inside World: Getting Your Family Out of the House and Radically Engaged with Nature and the audio original, MeatEater's Campfire Stories: Narrow Escapes and More Close Calls. He is the recipient of the Conservation Achievement Award from The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership.

New Series Debuts Friday, September 29 at 8 p.m. ET

DENVER (September 20, 2023) – Rekindling the “American Dream” is the focus of a new series on Outdoor Channel, American Made, premiering on Friday, September 29 at 8 p.m. ET. American Made provides an intimate look into the lives and businesses of visionary Americans, one quality American Made product at a time. The series showcases those philosophies that embody the spirit of the American entrepreneur – and the decisions they must make daily.

The series is produced and created by Branlin Shockey/Rogue Media, who saw a resurgence in pride for the words “American Made” and wanted to tell that story. “People in the outdoor industry want to know where the products they spend their money on originate. However, the series isn’t about the products – or even the companies – it is about the people behind those material things. I tried my best to feature companies who have histories and philosophies that embody the American Dream – that with hard work and ingenuity, anyone can overcome the greatest of obstacles,” shared Branlin Shockey.

“We are incredibly proud of the 'American Made' series. Transparency and authenticity are very important to our audience, which is why showcasing brands who are true to themselves and their customers makes this series so unique. The icing on the cake is that these stories give viewers more reasons support these entrepreneurs,” said Tim Cremin, Head of Programming for Outdoor Sportsman Group.

From featuring firearm manufacturer, Ruger, to an optics brand, Leupold, a lifestyle manufacture, OriginUSA, and mixing in beer (Big Truck) and bourbon (Yellowstone Bourbon), American Made shows how each owner and business leader never compromised on their vision.

“Our hope is that viewers take away that this ingenuity and pure gumption lies within them, too. We really saw this when we visited Pete Roberts, the visionary leader behind OriginUSA. He showed us photos of when he’d just started the company, and it’s a bit like looking at the early days of Apple or Microsoft, you feel there is no way this person started THIS giant company in this way. There had to be some other factor at play, and then you realize that the only factors needed lie within us. Many of North America's greatest success stories have humble beginnings… and Pete is still humble,” shared Shockey.

American Made is produced by Branlin Shockey/Rogue Media and airs exclusively on Outdoor Channel.

New Series Debuts Friday, September 29 at 9 p.m. ET

DENVER (September 15, 2023) – Outdoor Channel’s extreme, off-grid, original, docu-series Life on the Edge will showcase the stamina and grit it takes to survive on the Aleutian Islands beginning on September 29 at 9 p.m. ET. Life on the Edge chronicles the lives of fearless homesteaders and daring American entrepreneurs as they live off-the-grid in some of the harshest and most unforgiving terrain in the world. The series follows the lives of maverick Alaskans in America’s most brutal region. The entire island chain is their playground: dubbed the ‘’Cradle of Storms”, the Aleutians arc west for over 1,000 miles towards Russia, occupying a total area of 6,900 square miles.

The show focuses on three adventure-seeking storylines and the people that have opted to live a solitary life in some of the most remote, inaccessible, and extreme conditions on the face of the Earth. It is in this exact environment these hearty souls, who built their own infrastructures and life off-the-grid, choose to live in radically different ways.

“We're excited to bring our viewers closer to the raw beauty and harsh realities of nature through 'Life on the Edge'," said Tim Cremin, President of Winnercomm and head of programming for Outdoor Sportsman Group. "The series not only showcases breathtaking landscapes but also the resilience and determination of individuals who've chosen a life less ordinary."

At the center of the series is Captain Charlie Summerville, extreme homesteader, and wilderness guide. His reputation precedes him as a fearless off-grid homesteader, a premier guide and bush pilot with more than 35 years and 6,000 flying hours under his belt. In the series, viewers will see Captain Charlie take on the biggest challenge he’s ever faced, building an epic new wilderness lodge right in the middle of brown bear and wolf territory. His new lodge will gaze upon a stunning bay and will be the prime location for experiencing and helping to conserve the region’s extraordinary wildlife. From shipping in his materials in 90 mph winds to erecting the lodge’s timber frame in sub-zero temperatures, this is an epic construction challenge – even for someone like him.

Which is why viewers meet experienced carpenter, Brent “Whitt” Whittenberger. Brent originally hails from Wisconsin and has worked on building sites from a young age. He’s the mastermind behind Charlie’s off-grid construction project with one slight personal challenge – he’s never built in Alaska before and needs to engineer a lodge that can withstand the extreme climate. Besides battling the daily winds, Brent also must be aware of unwelcomed visits from the local brown bears.

Also on the series are ultra-remote helicopter cowboys, Pat and Connie Harvie. This off-grid entrepreneurial couple has built one of the most extreme and successful helicopter cowboy ranches in America, but now they are ready to hang up their spurs and hand the ranch over to the next generation. Their 10,000-strong herd of cattle is the westernmost ranch in America. This herd is so feral, they frequently leap up to attack the low-flying helicopters Pat uses to round them up. Hear the legacy story of these helicopter cowboys, while following their efforts to ready the ranch for a new buyer.

Finally, meet Merrick Jackinsky, engineer for the Ocean Renewable Power Company (ORPC). The Aleutians are a land of immense tidal power just waiting to be harnessed – if he can get the materials needed there and working. With hardly any modern infrastructure, and where sub -20-degree Fahrenheit is considered a “warm day,” off-grid engineering doesn’t get much more extreme than this.

The entire series is based on the unforgiving Igiugig (a 9,000-year-old native community) Umnak (home to America’s most remote cowboys), and Volcano Bay (quite literally THE most remote homestead in America).

Rare TV’s CEO Alexander Gardiner adds, “The Aleutians are the most extreme islands in America. Period. The islands are an ideal location for a new factual adventure series that the Outdoor Channel audience will love as much as our producers and directors did while making this extraordinary new series!”

Every individual on Life on the Edge wants to change the world by taming this extraordinary landscape. But with temperatures plummeting to -50 degrees Fahrenheit, white-out snowstorms, unforgiving seas, and myriad man-eating carnivores threatening their lives, the stakes could not be higher.

Life on the Edge is produced by Rare TV Ltd. and airs exclusively on Outdoor Channel.

Season Three Debuts September 25 at 9 p.m. ET During “Taste of the Wild” Block

DENVER (September 11, 2023) – Get ready for a new culinary journey with Emmy Award® winner and four-time James Beard Award-winning TV personality and chef, Andrew Zimmern and the return of his series, Andrew Zimmern’s Wild Game Kitchen, on Monday, September 25 at 9 p.m. EDT on Outdoor Channel.

This groundbreaking series, which Zimmern also produces, takes viewers on a journey through the world of cooking wild game, seafood, and foraged vegetables over live fire, showcasing unique recipes, a chef’s techniques to ensure the best result, and the rich cultural stories behind the dishes. Each episode shows Zimmern, an avid outdoorsman, a natural teacher and engaging presence, creating a meal using sustainably sourced wild foods accompanied by seasonal sides, often using foraged ingredients or items from his garden.

States Andrew Zimmern, “The way we eat has evolved over time, and so should the way we cook. In Season 3 of Wild Game Kitchen, I’m excited to share even more of the recipes and techniques that will help cooks go beyond the basics when preparing food over fire. And while the foods I use in the series are sustainable and wild, the same recipes and methods of cooking can be used with ingredients purchased from any grocery store. I never stop learning about food, and in Wild Game Kitchen I love to share what I’ve learned.”

“As a lifelong outdoorsman and chef, Andrew is perfectly positioned to demystify cooking wild food over an open fire, creating delicious and easy meals while sharing tips for hunting and gathering. This show represents our commitment to delivering high-quality content that both entertains and educates our viewers about the field-to-plate lifestyle,” Outdoor Sportsman Group Vice President of Programming Mitch Petrie said. “Prepare to be both entertained and educated as Zimmern delves deeper into the untamed heart of the culinary world."

Zimmern, who is a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations World Food Programme, writer, teacher, world traveler, and social justice advocate, is also the creator, executive producer and host of Travel Channel’s Bizarre Foods franchise, Andrew Zimmern’s Driven by Food and the Emmy Award®-winningn The Zimmern List. He has dedicated his life to exploring and promoting cultural acceptance, tolerance and understanding through food.

In 2020, Zimmern’s series What’s Eating America (MSNBC) redefined how we tell stories about our food systems, and he premiered Family Dinner on Chip and Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia Network in 2021. He can also be seen judging the epic culinary battle Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend on Netflix and his latest series on Outdoor Channel is his first on the outdoor lifestyle network.

Andrew Zimmern’s Wild Game Kitchen seasons one and two also can be seen on MyOutdoorTV (MOTV).
