Wild TV's CEO Ryan Kohler announces the launch of two brand new networks, RFD TV Canada and The Cowboy Channel Canada, set to air February 1st, 2020. In collaboration with the Rural Media Group, Wild TV Network will bring a uniquely Canadian perspective to more outdoor niche interests so carriers can top up their outdoor offerings.

“The opportunity to launch new channels and grow our company with these great brands is instrumental for our growth,” stated Ryan Kohler.

And Kohler explains that he is well-prepared to lead his team through that growth.

“We have adopted a new culture, acquired a powerhouse sales team, and increased our staff to accommodate even more new channels in addition to RFD TV Canada and The Cowboy Channel Canada.”
Kohler, who has often been quoted as a promoter of offering value and variety to fans of outdoor reality entertainment, exemplifies his service-oriented outlook by stating, "We believe the cable and satellite companies here in Canada are getting it right by offering more choice for subscribers. We can bring the outdoorsmen and women in the rural areas of Canada the best niche channels in the world. RFD TV Canada focused on agriculture, rural lifestyle, and traditional music & entertainment. Together with The Cowboy Channel Canada featuring western sports and the most iconic PRCA rodeos in North America, will offer Canadians two more outdoor and rural lifestyle themed channels to choose from."

Patrick Gottsch, Founder & President of Rural Media Group, Inc, shares Kohler's excitement to increase offerings to Canadian viewers.

"For many years, Canadians have been requesting the rural-themed programming being offered by RFD-TV and the Cowboy Channel which has proven to be so popular in the United States. The dedication to agriculture and to embrace the Western lifestyle knows no borders, and we are so pleased to be working with Ryan Kohler of Wild TV Inc. to finally bring these two cultures together to connect city with country throughout North America," stated Gottsch.

The two networks will be launched CANADA WIDE on Shaw Direct with planned expansion to the rest of the cable and Satellite companies across Canada later in 2020.
