Sent Mine, what a bunch of D--ks!!!!!

Man am I bitter.

Couple of things:

1. Spike TV, and it's parent company MTV Networks are owned by Viacom. Taken directly from the Viacom website:
2. Hunting shows do not generate ad revenue, plain and simple. In the broadcast industry ratings generate eyes, which in turn drives ad revenue. Hunting and fishing shows are the least profitible, in terms of overall ad revenue of any category of programming. They cater to such a small demographic category it is not worth a networks time to give up that air time on those shows when there are 2 networks that cater specifically to hunters. This was a long time coming, and I am also shocked it took this long.

I just sent 'em one, too. I hope that crappy network goes to the dump after they realize what they are doing. [>:]

I too am suprised the shows were not canceled sooner; however, I did send a response.

"This is in response to your cancellation of Hunting Shows. I think it sucks. These were a few of the only shows on your network worth watching."

I am also suprised it took so long. I have not watched the channel in a long while. Saturdays and Sundays, I am not in front of my tv. I am outside doing something.

As a side note. I am a member of Texas Trophy Hunters. In the last issue of the magazine they stated they will be moving from The Outdoor Channel (channel 153 on dishnetwork) to The Mens Channel (channel 221 on dishnetwork). They did not state the days or times but the said they were part of an outdoor block that would be repeated 3 times a week.

PS, the Mens Channel is part of the Turner Network. I currently is a home shoping network type channel.

Yea i wrote them also and i do not plan on watching that channel ever again until they put the hunting shows back on. it's as simple as that!

I assumed everyone knew this was coming. There was a post on here over a year ago by Dave Watson regarding the fact that MTV had bought out TNN and their (Realtree, Bushnell, etc) contracts had not been renewed and that 2003 would the final season of outdoor programming on that channel.

I wrote them this morning.......if this is true, I have no reason to watch this channel at all. And I told them so.

Gave'm my two cents worth. For whatever good its for.[>:]
