Wow, that didn't take long!

[MTGunner]

Randy, I truly enjoy your show. I contacted the OC with my complaint. Their programing is toast and will not air in my household any longer. Apparantly the canned, high fence, commercial driven programs are more important than veiwership. BTW, there were few shows that met my standards and these were DVR recorded to be able to skip the commercials. Thanks for the great shows. MTG

You're going to have to bring in a cute blond with make-up....

That's Awful Randy I hope you get back on TV soon.

 

[SagebrushSlayer]

Congrats on moving on to another network and being able to provide your shows this next year on this site. Truthfully, I bought the OC for "Gold Fever", but decided it wasn't worth it for just one show. OYOA came on and kept me with OC, but now that you have found a new home, I will be cancelling their subscription when I return home.

One thing I have noticed with networks the past four or five years, is that when a show comes out with something new and successful, others tend to come out within a couple years trying to copycat the orginal in one way or another, IF the OC ends up trying to do this with another DIY type show, it will further confirm my dislike for their network.

Best of luck to ya with your new network and thanks for not bending over for the execs. I look foward to watching more OYOA in '11, starting with when you post em up online.

OC's loss, best show on the network by FAR! I'll watch where ever the show ends up. Good luck Randy, hope it all works out.

My heart can't take all this drama..thought OYOA was toast, ready to send a food package to Randy and lend him my old 410 slug gun. Then I find out OYOA is going to air on another channel and Randy and crew got things under control. Whew...heart palpatations slowed down, pulse normal. There are other reasons OYOA was taken off OC, check out all the female shows etc. They are "broadening" their audience and will soon increase their rates acccordingly. Now, instead of dumping on OC we need to begin our support for the new venue? I for one am ready to do one of my embellished and enhanced promo's on camera. haha. Great News, now I can work toward my SR rank.

LOL thats a good one DS funny how things we were just talking about suddenly become a relevent point

I will follow Randy where ever his path takes him. I fully believe in DIY hunting and that their is more to hunting than sitting behind a great animal. Its how you find that animal and get him to the ground. Just let me know where to set my compass Randy.

[ashersdad]

I have always believed things happen for a reason. You have too good of a show to not end up somewhere great. Can't wait for season 3. Keep doin what you're doin.

 

[Taxidermynut]

Still no update?

 

[mdhunter]

My cable bill has been way to high and the OC is one of the reasons. I look forward to seeing you on one of the other networks and saving myself a couple of bucks in the process

And there you have it.

We submitted for all the categories I have bolded and underlined. LIfe is hell when you are subpar.

Thank God for a ratings service. Really good ratings for OYOA. Can't wait until some day the ratings/rankings of OC shows sees the light of day. Some sponsors will fall over, or demand their money back, and a few ad agencies would be nervous.

Forward and onward.

Temecula , California - Outdoor Channel (NASDAQ: OUTD), America's leader in Outdoor TV, today unveiled the slate of nominees for its 11th Annual Golden Moose Awards, the most popular and longstanding outdoor television awards ceremony in the country. Held on January 20, 2011 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas during the SHOT Show, the Golden Moose Awards honor the producers and on-air talent from Outdoor Channel's industry-leading programming.

This year's Golden Moose Awards will be hosted by Willie Robertson of Outdoor Channel's "Buck Commander Protected by Under Armour" and "Benelli Presents Duck Commander" and winner of several Golden Moose Awards. The highly anticipated awards extravaganza will also feature an exclusive performance from country music star, Blake Shelton, an avid outdoorsman who makes regular guest appearances on various Outdoor Channel programs.

"Recognizing our high-quality programming, first-class production teams and celebrity talent, the Golden Moose Awards allows outdoor fans to pay tribute to those who have made Outdoor Channel the leader in the outdoor entertainment industry," said Tom Hornish, COO at Outdoor Channel. "This year's ceremony will no doubt see old favorites reign, new superstars rise and surprise winners emerge in front of thousands of enthusiasts at the outdoor industry's best celebration."

Several of the highly coveted " Fan Favorite " accolades will also be awarded at the event.
