Sportsman Channel reaches additional households in Twin Cities

Good news for Twin Cities cable viewers.   The Sportsman Channel has moved from Comcast’s premier sports package to now become part of their Digital Preferred service package.   That means more households throughout the metro area who subscribe to more basic cable programming will now have access to some great outdoors television.

Indeed, the Sportsman Channel has an array of quality cable programming satisfying that appetite for most things hunting, fishing and shooting.   With over 15 new shows in 2009 and over 500 series episodes, this equates to thousands of hours of entertaining television viewing.

“With millions of sportsmen across the country, the Sportsman Channel will bring original and quality programming to our customers in the Minneapolis and St. Paul areas,” said Nick Kozel, Comcast’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Twin Cities Region.

In Minneapolis tune into Comcast channel 738 and in St. Paul Sportsman is being carried for Comcast subscribers on channel 278.

While you’re at it, be sure to vote in the 2009 Sportsman Choice Awards.  It takes just a few minutes and voting qualifies participants to be entered into a drawing to win a $1,000 prize package.   Plus, the first 500 voters will receive a FREE Sportsman Channel hat.

Get familiar with the Sportsman Channel and I think you’ll agree it’s a very informative and entertaining network for the hunting, fishing and shooting enthusiast.
