Tennessee Expands Conservation Awareness with MyOutdoorTV |
|
NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Tennessee's
Wildlife Resources Agency is following the lead of Governor Phil Bredesen
to increase conservation awareness by partnering with MyOutdoorTV.com to
offer their weekly television series and webcast to a broader audience.
Beginning today, the award-winning Tennessee's Wild Side and Tennessee's
Wild Side Weekly Online will be streamed through MyOutdoorTV.com, the
world's largest internet video network for outdoor television shows, radio,
video, and conservation information.
Based in Nashville, MyOutdoorTV.com is a powerful new forum developed
to promote hunting, fishing, wildlife watching, and natural resource
opportunities across the country. Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency
(TWRA) joins MyOutdoorTV.com in its launch of a special section within the
site called "State Explorer," which will provide video from various states
and links to each state wildlife agency. The section will include weekly
programming, educational videos, safety instruction, wildlife and waterways
law enforcement information, and other useful materials. Hunters,
fishermen, and boaters will even be able to purchase licenses through
MyOutdoorTV.com or make donations to the Wildlife Resources Agency.
Conservation has been one of the stated key priorities of Gov.
Bredesen's administration, with such notable conservation efforts as
acquiring and protecting land with high conservation value, establishing
the Tennessee Heritage Conservation Trust Fund, reopening previously closed
state parks, and speaking often on the need to conserve the state's natural
resources. He has received awards from environmental groups for his actions
to conserve and promote Tennessee's natural beauty.
Shows and materials provided by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency
(TWRA) will also be included and available for search from topical sections
on the MyOutdoorTV.com site, such as deer and turkey hunting, hiking,
camping, bass and walleye fishing, and wild game cooking. Users of
MyOutdoorTV.com will be able to view current as well as previous episodes
of Tennessee's Wild Side and Wild Side Weekly Online.
The show and webcast are hosted by radio personality Bill Cody and
Janet Ivey. The TV show has been awarded two Emmys for "Best Magazine Show"
and currently airs weekly on PBS in Tennessee and Kentucky, with shows
covering outdoor activities for the entire family. The new affiliation with
MyOutdoorTV.com will allow on-demand viewing worldwide by anyone with a
high- speed internet connection.
"As a long-time Tennessee resident, I'm pleased that my state is one of
the first to recognize the opportunity to show the rest of the country and
the world what the state's natural resources have to offer," said David
Hall, co- founder of MyOutdoorTV.com. "This partnership holds great
possibilities for Tennessee and is both exciting and gratifying for
MyOutdoorTV.com."
MyOutdoorTV.com will include Tennessee's affiliation in marketing
activities for the site, including TV, radio, print, and online advertising
and promotions. TWRA will provide a link on its website to view programming
at MyOutdoorTV.com.
"We're especially pleased to be working with a Tennessee-based business
with such a strong management team and solid business plan," commented Don
King, TWRA's Chief of Information and Education. "We are very proud of
Tennessee's Wild Side and its great programming of family-oriented
activities, and we're excited to expand our audience through this
partnership with MyOutdoorTV.com."
MyOutdoorTV.com is the world's largest internet video network for
outdoor TV programming, currently streaming over 70 shows on the shooting
sports, fishing, boating, and other outdoor activities. In addition, it
