A member from my nybass.com forum had a great idea. Start a petition to Time Warner DEMANDING WFN! If you subscribe to Time Warner Cable and want fishing shows 24/7, then please reply to this thread with a brief explanation why you think TW should carry WFN.
I'll put together a PDF document when we're done and email it to TWC to show them that WE WANT WFN!
Thanks a lot guys! I know LunkervisionHD is cool and free on the web, but imagine watching Lunkerville and all the best fishing shows on TV on your new High Def Flat Screen that you got for Christmas?!
Mike, do you know when Comcast will be getting WFN?
WFN recently made a deal with Comcast! It's being rolled out into local markets and right now it's available in Florida and Michigan.
that is great can't wait till it comes to Philly.
I got WFN and its awesome!!!
Follow this link to request that your provider (DTV, Comcast, ETC) get WFN:

Make a phone call or two as well, what do you have better to do? Actually work???
So do I. I think awesome is a bit of a stretch. Like anything there are some great shows (Lunkerville, Extreme Angler, Gettin School'd), some right dross and then some stuff I just don't care about, like fly fishing tuesdays.
It's worth having just to have the option of watching fishing anytime.
i spent my christmas at my aunt and uncles house in germantown watching this channel hours on end. i'd never even heard of it! i'll sign the petition. it should be on tv cause fishing had always been popular and its pickin up even more. people will watch.
Demanding?
Exactly what is our leverage that allows us to demand anything?

We are the ones keeping them in business.
Get rid of cable. Go with satellite.
We had one of the worst, Charter.
When we got an hd tv, I called to see when they would offer hd programming in our town, and was told it wasn't even on the radar screen.
OK, thanks, I'll get Dish or Direct, and also get channels we have wanted but you don't offer.
Got Dish installed and told Charter to discontinue their service, except for broadband.
By the time Westport gets the latest technology from phone or cable, other communities are switching to newer technology.
We are the ugly step sister when it comes to electronic wire services.
Regarding WFN. It may only be broadcast in hd. Cannot get it on the other two non hd televisions.
Heck I NEED Directv and Versus to come to an agreement already....
considering Versus is owned by a big competitor to the dish- Comcast, doubt it will happen though
> :'( :'(
That would be great if it came to comcast, I have Versus and that channel isn't all that great. There's too much of everything and not enough fishing shows.
I don;'t watch much TV but I will always support Lunkerville, Mike D and Fishing!
I had never heard of this network until it showed up on my HD Premium Tier (AT&T Uverse). A full-time fishing channel that is all HD? I was like a kid at Christmas!
The Mariko Izumi shows are unwatchable, but most of the programs are of high quality, well produced, and all in HD, of course. Highly recommended!
The good thing about WFN is that you only have to watch one day a month.
I switched from Comcast to Verizon Fios just to get WFN. A girl called me from Comcast to ask why I switched to Fios and I told her that Comcast didn't have WFN and Fios did. Well, this girl grew up in Minnesota and was a big muskie fisherman (or should I say fisherwoman). We ended up talking about Muskie fishing for about 10 minutes.
P.S. This is my 1000th Post!!! I finally moved up in title!!!!
id watch it all the time! im dying of winter-not-fishing
The only gripe I have with WFN is that they keep running the same shows over and over, and most of those aren't that new. Good programming, yes, but how about some new episodes?
Dump cable and get Dish Network!! WFN, Vs. channel, Outdoor channel, ESPN 2, My t.v. is always on one of the 4 ;D

you just can't get enough shows to satisfy your craving for exciting TV fishing action JDW!
they do tend to repeat shows... i mean, they are only airing fishing shows all day and night, which is awesome... Lunkerville airs 12 times a week and WFN will mix it up throughout the week; airing a new show then an older one.
regarding new Lunkerville episodes: look for 26 new shows in the next 12 months with the first 13 rolling out between Nov. 2009 and April 2010

i know danny... i have directv at home becuse of the NFL package, but i have DISH at the office and WFN is on all day... i love it!

i have to agree with you on the Mariko Izumi Show, its the only thing that makes me change the channel, i dont mind the repetition since i surf the net an watch tv at the same , i dont really pay attention to the tv at times and so when i catch the show again i can pay attention to the parts i didnt
i like watching all the shows even the fly fishing tuesdays but Lunkerville, Gettin schooled , Bass edge and Scott Marting Challenge are my faves.
i have att uverse. i used to have direct tv and att uverse blows direct tv away. i have the package that includes wfn and i believe we only pay $5 extra a month. it is well worth it. demanding a cable company put a channel on just doesn't make sense. these companies have to make money. besides, $5 extra a month is not gaffing anyone. jmo
I have Dish Network and WFNHD is available in the premium of premium HD packages - so you have to spend an extra $120/year to get this channel (in addtional to the top HD package that includes Versus and Outdoor channel). I can't justify $120/year when I can get 90% bass fishing programs on Versus and Outdoor channel. I'll spend that money on tackle!!!!
I LOVE BIG BASS MONDAY just wish ther wasnt so many repeats but i watch them anyways i just love fishing and all the thing i have learned from the shows on WFN
I just got Verizon Fios a few weeks ago which has the Fishing Network and the very first show I saw was Lunkerville. I thought I recognized the other guy in the red boat, and who would have imagined, it was Low Budget Hooker! That was Awesome!
Hey Russ - I just got a 19' 2004 Skeeter and it stays docked in Harvard all year - Hope to get to fish with ya again this year!
The girls at the camp said to say Hi!
Love your show Mike and id love for them to add WFN

Same here, I'm not hold'in my breath either.
