One of the biggest complaints we get on “American Rifleman Television“ has nothing to do with the show but the fact that many of our members and fans cannot get new episodes. The Outdoor Channel has announced that it has worked with a number of affiliates to offer a free preview through April 30, 2020.
“Our affiliate team has been hard at work negotiating Free Previews with all our carriers to increase availability of our networks during this difficult time,” said Mitch Petrie, vice president of programming for the Sportsman Outdoor Group. “I’m pleased to let you know all OSG networks will be free to subscribers of Dish/Sling, AT&T/DirecTV and most our cable distributors across the US until April 30, 2020. We are still negotiating with Xfinity and anticipating them participating in this free preview as well.”
If you haven’t been able to watch American Rifleman Television on the Outdoor Channel, this just may be your chance. Check with your TV provider to see if you have Outdoor Channel, Sportsman Channel and World Fishing Network on Free Preview.
