NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Washington's
Department of Fish and Wildlife has become one of the nation's first state
wildlife agencies to begin offering its television series to a broader
audience as part of a powerful new forum developed to promote hunting,
fishing, wildlife watching, and natural resource opportunities across the
country. Beginning today, Wild About Washington is being streamed through
MyOutdoorTV.com, the world's largest internet video network for outdoor
television shows, radio, video, and conservation information.
MyOutdoorTV.com has created a special section within its site called
"State Explorer," which provides video from various states and links to
wildlife agencies. The section includes television programming, educational
videos, safety instruction, wildlife and waterways law enforcement
information, and other materials. Hunters, fishermen, and boaters can even
purchase licenses through MyOutdoorTV.com or make donations to the wildlife
agency.
Shows and materials provided by the WDFW will also be included and
available for search by topic or keyword on MyOutdoorTV.com. Viewers will
be able to watch both current and previous episodes of Wild About
Washington.
The show, which airs on about 40 local channels, has been produced and
hosted by Chuck Boland for the past 10 years. According to Boland, Wild
About Washington aims to introduce its audience to the entire Washington
outdoors experience, covering such topics as crabbing, backpacking, gold
prospecting, and historical sites, in addition to hunting and fishing.
"We're dedicated to making sure our youth develop an appreciation for
the outdoors, so reaching them with our show is very important to us," said
Boland. "In this day of technology and the internet, using those approaches
is essential. We're not only thrilled to be on MyOutdoorTV.com, we have to
be."
MyOutdoorTV.com will include the agency in marketing activities for the
site, including TV, radio, print and online advertising and promotions. The
agency will provide a link on its website to view programming at
MyOutdoorTV.com.
"The state of Washington has a bounty of resources to share, and we're
honored that MyOutdoorTV.com has the opportunity to help the Department of
Fish and Wildlife tell its story," said Chris Moise, CEO.
MyOutdoorTV.com is the world's largest internet video network for
