Pursuit Channel Presents Strike Zone Tuesdays

Glenwood, AL – Pursuit Channel invites viewers to tune-in to Strike Zone Tuesdays, powered by Ranger Boats, prime-time fishing block.

For over a decade, the Tuesday night line-up has been one of Pursuit Channel’s strongest nights providing a great mix of fishing programming from some of the industry’s best outdoors shows.

“The Tuesday night block has been a staple for Pursuit’s fishing content initiatives for a very long time. We had noticed lots of fishing programming over the years primarily on the weekends, so we felt the strong programming in our line up deserved a primetime block, and because of that decision, it has been a huge success for us.” says Rusty Faulk, Founder and CEO of Pursuit Media. “The diversity of content has something to offer everyone that loves to fish, from long running TV personalities like Hank Parker and Wade Middleton, to top ranked tournament competition series such as the Federation Angler, National Walleye Tour, Texas Team Trail and Collegiate Bass Fishing Series for those that love keeping up with the tournament trails” he continues.

Wade Middleton, President of Careco TV and Multimedia, has been involved with the block since day one. His company has provided many hours of programming for the lineup over the years but has also been an active and successful recruiter of other top-shelf programs for the night. “The response and feedback we’ve gotten from the airings on Tuesday night over the past decade has been phenomenal. We almost instantly begin to get feedback when a show airs inside these time slots about whatever we were doing in that episode. It’s been great to see fishing in prime time like this and we’re excited to see it continue thanks to the Pursuit Channel and its partners” he said.
