This is actually news from TV Week headlined Anglers Association Lands Show on World Fishing Net:
"It says a lot that when the premier membership group of bass-fishing professionals decided to enter into the broadcasting arena, they chose WFN, the ultimate destination for all things fishing," Mark Rubinstein, president of WFN, said in a statement. "The more than 50 million sport fishing enthusiasts in North America are hungry for programming that speaks to their passion and lifestyle. This partnership will bring them unfettered access to the world's best bass-fishing professionals."
And I thought it was a waste in my Platinum Package.:D

January. And they're producing a whole 13 half-hour episodes "highlighting strategies, instructional tips and profiles of professional anglers" with "appearances by Professional Anglers Association Tour Level members." So for 13 weeks there'll be only 167⅓ hours left to fill.:rolleyes:

I'm sure as time goes on WFN will have more and more HD programming. I know my brothers show on WFN "The Next Bite" WFN actually black borders the entire show, it works perfect with dish to do streach and zoom twice to fill the entire screen. This for now gives a really crisp picture even through it's not true HD, but it is better than SD.

I don't know why WFN shows that show with black borders all the way around. It does look good through if I use the dish reciever to fill the screen. I like WFN and except for Verizon dish is the only provider choice for the channel. Like every HD channel, things will bet better with time.

WFN has it's place in the market just like the Golf channel. I don't like watching golf on TV. There are many good instructional fishing shows on WFN and if your serious about fishing there are good techniques to learn.

I do watch Smithsonian from time to time, HDnet and MGM, but if it were not for WFN I wouldn't pay the extra 10 bucks. So I realize I'm in the minority on this site but WFN is the reason I pay the extra 10 bucks a month.

There should be something for everyone, I always say! If everyone had my tastes the world would be truly boring.:lol:

You are not alone phrelin, I watch the WFN daily and thoroughly enjoy the shows on it. Especially "The New Fly Fisher". Fishing the flats is a good one too. Certainly would love to see more native HD in some of the shows, but it will get there though.

I couldn't pass up this from Multichannel News:
WFN: HD is now broadcasting its full programming line-up in 100% native high-definition.


Since it bowed last May, WFN HD has launched a quartet of original series in the enhanced format: Charlie Moore TV, Hookin' Up with Mariko Izumi, Getting School'd with JP DeRose and WFN's Reel Road Trip....
I guess I didn't understand what the WFN HD was offering.:sure:

Why do you pay $10 for a handful of niche channels? The only channel I miss is HDNETMOVIES.

That is the only channel I record from in the package. It's as valuable to me as Starz and cost's roughly the same. Actually, I'd be better off to drop both, but inertia keeps me going, along with next month's HDNet Movies sneak preview of some movie that made the film festival rounds and is about to be released to theaters and "Party Down" on Starz.
