Primedia Converts Magazines Into TV Shows

For those who can't get enough of their favorite Primedia magazines on the newsstands, the media company is now unveiling four new cable television shows from its Outdoors Group based on some of its popular sportsman magazine titles.

In addition to a lineup that includes "In-Fisherman TV," "In-Fisherman Critical Concepts," "The Professional Walleye Trail," "Guns & Ammo TV," and "North American Whitetail TV," Primedia has now launched "Shallow Water Angler TV," "Florida Sportsman TV," and "Bowhunter TV."

There are also two "yet-to-be-named" shooting and hunting shows slated to launch in the fall of 2005, and the fall of 2006, respectively. The new TV programming will be distributed almost exclusively through The Outdoor Channel, with extended distribution on the Sunshine Network and the Outdoor Life Network. The Outdoor Channel also has plans to make its shows more visually like the outdoors by programming entirely in HDTV by 2007.
