Just what we need....more publicity and MORE PEOPLE......UUUGGGHH!

I agree the extra exposure can't help the fishing , but from what I take it's more about the economical impact for the local businesses.

Personally, I don't think it will add much to the chaos.  Here is why
1)  I had to look for 20 minutes to find  the stinking channel.  
2)  I would not have even known to look for it if not for this and another forum.
3)  If I am on these forums   I already know about the fishery
4)   It is less about the fishing and more about the economic's
I think that many of the viewers will already have knowledge of the river and the show  will not add that many more anglers.
 
Anyway that's hopes....................

Sportsmens Channel ???
  2 AM Tuesday-is that late Tuesday night or late Monday night ???
  Aint that a work night for folks ??
 Awwww fugetaboutit----

I think it is part of their Saturday fishing line up.   Sat at 10:30.   Neve knew we even had the channel till today

It wil be on Tues @ 2:30 AM....Sat @ 10:30 AM....and Thurs 1 PM.....now all I have to do is find the sportsman channel if we get it here.
You're correct in saying it will probably not increase the people on the river.

The Sportsman Channel is a extra pay channel.  Cablevision/Optimum charges an additional $7- to 9.- per month for access.  I already pay over $200.- per month for telephone, internet and TV (Premium Gold package).   

Gerry,I guess that is whyI can't find it in my cable line up,I don't pay for that premium stuff! That narrows the viewing audience down  a bit :)

Jack, Precisely my point, I have the top of the line package and many channels are not included.  Top of the line is not so top of the line.
