They own Duck Commander but not Duck Dynasty...
Correct. According to the first book written by Willie and his wife, Korie they were discovered on the Duck Commander show on the Outdoor Channel. They still have duck hunting shows on that channel. And Buck Commander is also their brand. It’s on the side of the building where their headquarters is and shown prominently on the show.
According to an article I read on another website tonight, A&E owns the intellectual rights to Duck Dynasty until the contract expires.
You have seen the contract?
