Here’s The Roundup
The Cowgirl Channel Joins The AT120 DISH Lineup.
And they’re off ...
DISH’s newest addition to the AT120 lineup is The Cowgirl Channel (Channel 269), a new network dedicated to women in western sports and the modern-day cowgirl. The net is the sister network to The Cowboy Channel and RFD-TV, two already popular networks that invest in the future of the western lifestyle.
The Cowgirl Channel will primarily feature content around western sports for women, including barrel racing, breakaway roping and women’s ranch rodeo, as well as feature programming around western fashion, western home design and more.
“Women of all ages participating in western sports and embracing the western lifestyle is experiencing explosive growth,” said Patrick Gottsch, founder and president of Rural Media Group. “The popularity of this content on The Cowboy Channel is undeniable, and with so much original content and women’s events now being produced not only in the United States but all over the world, the launch of The Cowgirl Channel to go with The Cowboy Channel just makes sense. I am so excited about the initial feedback we are receiving from individuals and organizations who have worked so hard to develop opportunities for women and their love of horses over the years.”
Here’s a sample of programming offered on The Cowgirl Channel:
