September 5, 2007 (Nashville) - The Show-me State has taken a big step to show-off its outdoor diversity to the world with a new partnership between the Missouri Department of Conservation and MyOutdoorTV.com.  Beginning today, Missouri Outdoors will be streamed through MyOutdoorTV.com, a powerful forum developed to promote hunting, fishing, wildlife watching, and natural resource opportunities across the country.

The 30-minute program is produced by the Missouri Department of Conservation and has aired statewide for the past 20 years.

MyOutdoorTV.com, the world's largest internet video network for outdoor programming, has created a special section within its site called "State Explorer," which provides video from various states and links to each state wildlife agency.  The section includes weekly programming, educational videos, safety instruction, wildlife and waterways law enforcement information, and other useful materials.  Hunters, fishermen, and boaters are even able to purchase licenses through MyOutdoorTV.com or make donations to the Department of Conservation.

The new affiliation with MyOutdoorTV.com will allow 24/7, on-demand viewing of Missouri Outdoors by anyone with a high-speed internet connection.  Shows and materials provided by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources will also be included and available for search by keyword on the MyOutdoorTV.com website, so that Missouri shows will appear in results when viewers search for video on a particular topic, activity, species, or location.  Users of MyOutdoorTV.com will be able to view current as well as previous episodes of Missouri Outdoors.   

"Whether it's hunting for turkeys, fishing for crappie, hiking along the Ozark trail, planting native wildflowers, or bird watching, there are endless ways to experience outdoor Missouri," said Kipp Woods, Executive Producer/Host of Missouri Outdoors.  "I'm hopeful that our show will give viewers a better appreciation for our state's natural resources.

"We are so pleased to be a part of MyOutdoorTV.com and their growing list of quality outdoor programs, especially the partnership they have established with other state agencies," Woods continued. "It's a great one-stop viewing experience for anyone interested in the outdoors."

MyOutdoorTV.com will include the Department of Conservation in marketing activities for the site, including TV, radio, print and online advertising and promotions. The agency will also provide a link on its website to view programming at MyOutdoorTV.com.

"Missouri offers tremendous outdoor diversity, and Missouri Outdoors does a great job of showing what the state has to offer," said Chris Moise, CEO.  "We are honored to be able to extend their reach to our audience."

MyOutdoorTV.com is the world's largest internet video network for outdoor TV programming, currently streaming over 100 shows on the shooting sports, fishing, boating, conservation, and other outdoor topics.  In addition, it hosts radio shows, outdoor videos, and the new "State Explorer" section.  For more information, visit www.myoutdoortv.com.
