New Berlin, WI (June 24, 2009) – Sportsman Channel announced today the launch of an exclusive new series—Tactical Arms—to debut Tuesday, June 30, as part of more than 65 original series episodes being supplied to the network by parent company InterMedia Outdoors (IMO) for the third quarter of 2009. The network’s Q3 lineup also features new show debuts from several independent production companies, including industry icon Mossy Oak Productions and seasoned producer Team Fitzgerald TV. In total, Sportsman will debut more than 500 original series episodes and 15 new shows.
Tactical Arms, which offers a unique exploration of modern weapons, from machine guns to battle rifles to combat pistols, will have its primary airing on Thursday nights at 9:30 pm ET during the network’s “Thursday Night Shooting” lineup presented by Midway USA. Each episode is devoted exclusively to one tactical firearm platform, and the expert hosts reveal each gun’s true anatomy and performance DNA. Tactical Arms joins the network’s other critically acclaimed tactical show, Tactical Impact, as the only tactical shows offered to sportsmen on television. Tactical Impact will return in Q4 for its second season.
“Tactical Arms is yet another example of Sportsman benefiting from IMO’s vast programming resources, truly allowing us to redefine the category with fresh, cutting-edge programming,” said Willy Burkhardt, President of Sportsman Channel. “The original programming from dynamic independent producers, as well as IMO’s unparalleled internal resources, continues to provide true sportsmen with an unrivaled viewer experience. This has allowed us to blaze a trail of innovation and quality in the outdoor space.”
