Yeah Ryan told me that Access were going to air the network this fall. Would be great if they were in my area but I have to either hope all the emails we have been sending to Shaw, Expressvu or Star Choice will finally be met with more than a PFOL!

hmmmmmmmm-----I e-mailed ryan kohler 2 times now within the last 2 weeks to get some info on the wild tv here in ontario.No response.Maybe he is a real busy man,with the new airing and all.Might just have to e-mail bell expressview,maybe they will get back to me.

Dear, Wild TV supporter

Thank you for your support and comments. Wild TV will be launching in Saskatchewan and Manitoba late November December ! You will finally be able to watch Canada's only Hunting and Fishing channel. We are launching other provinces in the next few months. I will keep you posted on all the launches for Wild TV. Getting Wild TV across Canada is still our number 1 goal. You can help by calling your local cable and satellite companies and demanding our service. The more calls that go out the faster it will be in your area. Keep an eye on our site for giveaways and news. www.wildtv.ca

Thank you all for your support. Good luck Hunting and Fishing.

Ryan Kohler

Thanks Ryan

Can you tell me who the provider in Manitoba will be?
