Outdoor Programming Possibly the New NASCAR

Published on August 05, 2005
The media trend toward fishing and outdoor shows is "unbelievable," Robert K. Riggsbee, founder of national media buying and planning agency Inside Media, told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "Fishing shows may already be more popular that NASCAR programming." That statement may be outrageous, but it's true that specialty programming on outdoor channels is a steamroller, at least in the Great Lakes region. "Saturday and Sunday morning on cable it's all fishing and hunting shows," Riggsbee said.
