THE OUTDOORSMAN with BUCK McNEELY
THE OUTDOORSMAN AFFILIATE FEEDBACK: |
||
|
“The Outdoorsman has always performed well for WHO-HD in late fringe on Sunday evenings” “The core audience for the Outdoorsman is better suited for a late fringe daypart versus the early weekend morning.”“The Outdoorsman is a perfect show flowing out of our local sports show on Sunday night”
Dale R.

We air THE OUTDOORSMAN Sun 10:30 PM. Not only does the show dominate its time slot but in the May 2012 sweeps it was the #2 ranked series in all Late fringe in Co. Springs behind SNL & ahead of the Tonight show. Late fringe is without question the best position to air adventure content of this caliber. Ron Eccher PD KOAA TV NBC Colorado Springs, Co. Cordillera Communications"We've been extremely pleased with the performance of The Outdoorsman after our Sunday late news. (Sun. 11:30 PM ET) It not only wins its time period improving the numbers of all previous shows, it also sells out." In the May 2010 book it pulled a 4 rating - 16 share beating all other shows including House and CSI NY. This is more proof that Buck's show provides great counter programming and creates a loyal viewer base.

“The Outdoorsman did an exceptional job of delivering male demos on Sunday nights during the NFL season on a night highlighted by NBC’s Sunday Night Football and a lead-in of our local sports show. The strong performance during last year’s inaugural run will greatly enhance our sales efforts for this upcoming season.”
Richard Dyer
The Outdoorsman with Buck McNeely attracts an audience across all time periods. The exotic locales are a treat to visit. Buck's friendly, inviting style generates tremendous show appeal. Buck's hard core knowledge and respect for the outdoors make Buck the consummate outdoorsman. Plus, the theme music/show open rocks! It's a signal to the viewer that they are about to take an instant vacation from their day.
Lisa Giles/Director of Programming,
“The Outdoorsman” is a terrific program that has spanned the years providing quality content to people who enjoy hunting, fishing and outdoor fun. We have aired it for many years and now run it in late fringe on Sunday nights and on our .2 channel. The show offers viewers a window into the pursuit of trophy-sized game while giving stations the opportunity to market to this very passionate audience. Good luck with another season, Buck.

We've aired The Outdoorsman for many years. When we moved it into the post news Sun 10:30 PM position that's when we realized its real potential as a franchise builder. In fact it's one of the top performing late fringe shows on our TV stn. Without question it retains a high level of our audience as a news lead out & creates a powerful sales platform to monetize.

“KLFY TV in Lafayette, Louisiana has been more than pleased to have the caliber of “THE OUTDOORSMAN” as part of our line-up. It airs Sat. 11:00 PM and when CBS gives the local stations additional programming time before sports, we slip Buck McNeely in to fill the gap for a second run. Great show, great ratings…we don’t have to throw this one back. Mike Barras General Manager KLFY-TV Lafayette, LACBS Young Broadcasting
We here at KIMA/KEPR Yakima, Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, Washington and KLEW in Lewiston, Idaho have enjoyed airing Outdoorsmen for a number of Years. With it being E/I authorized I can feel confident that there will be no objectionable material I have to worry about when it comes to children viewing the show. It is very informative and I have seen places that otherwise would never even know about. Thank you Buck for such a quality show. Darlene

THE OUTDOORSMAN has been a part of our late fringe Sunday evening line-up for several seasons. It pulls solid ratings and has proven to be a strong flow from the NFL- News- The Outdoorsman. The great locations and special guests make this show a favorite of viewers who enjoy outdoor sporting activities. Also, we utilize the show to meet our E/I program requirements on our digital channel. We have a great partnership with Buck McNeely and THE OUTDOORSMAN.

The Outdoorsman has been in our 10:35 PM Sunday slot for 4 years now and always done a good job for us connecting with area viewers. Central Illinois has a large number of sportsmen and this has been a great way for our CBS affiliate to connect with them. Additionally, Buck’s outstanding content has been a center point for our community web portal’s “Outdoor” page. We have just renewed for our 5th season. Coby Cooper

We air The Outdoorsman on both our CBS and FOX stations at 6P (CBS) and 6:30P (FOX). It does well on our stations and Buck is very great about using the show whenever and wherever we need it. If you have ever watched the show, Buck is quite funny! We have renewed the show for the fall season. Linda Connolly NSM/Program Director WAGM CBS 8 WAGM FOX 8.2 Presque Isle, Maine
As a young boy I bought cigarette loads and itching powder from Buck’s mother in a store in Modesto, Ca. Even though that is true it really has nothing to do with the fact that we have aired “The Outdoorsman” in Northern California for over a decade. This is hunting and fishing country and the show has been well received by the hunting community.

Being a market where hunting and fishing are huge, The Outdoorsman delivers those viewers year in and year out. I don’t know why you wouldn’t make room for the Outdoorsman.

“The Outdoorsman is a real asset to our schedule. The quality of the production and topics has been right on target with that elusive male demo that is so desirable. I couldn’t ask for a better performer and I look forward to another great year.” Lucky Lisenbee Program Director WMDN CBS- WGBC NBC Meridian, Ms. WGBC TV, LLC.
KEYC-TV, in southern Minnesota and northern Iowa, broadcasts in
hunting and fishing territory so "The Outdoorsman" works well in
our late fringe Sunday night block. Agencies always include it
in their avail request as they look for that, sometimes elusive,
male demographic.

WIBW-TV has had The Outdoorsman on since September 2006. Once we moved it to the 1030P time slot on MyTV in 2007, the show has only missed one run. We also air the program Sunday AM and Sunday PM, as well as using it in other time slots on our other channel. We wish Buck only the best for the upcoming season, and can't wait to see where he's at next week! Mike Turner Director of Ops WIBW-TV CBS/ MyTV Topeka, KS
