Former U.S. vice presidential candidate, governor, best-selling author and original “Mama Grizzly” Sarah Palin returns to series television on Sportsman Channel to host a new show – the first part of the network’s “Red, Wild & Blue America” programming plan – for the fast-growing outdoor lifestyle network. Titled “Amazing America with Sarah Palin,” the weekly series will premiere in April 2014. The announcement was made today by Gavin Harvey, CEO of Sportsman Channel.

Amazing America with Sarah Palin is an anthology of stories that explore some of the most original, interesting – and sometimes inspiring – people, places and pastimes connected to America’s outdoors lifestyle. Governor Palin takes viewers coast-to-coast into what Sportsman Channel calls “Red, Wild and Blue America” – where the American Spirit and the Great Outdoors are celebrated in equal measure. From everyday people to business leaders and celebrities; in cities, suburbs and towns; the leader of the “Status Go” movement – Palin – will find the stories of people and places that share and reflect her passion for what makes America the great, amazing nation that it is.

"I'm excited to help shine a light on all the great American sportsmen and women in the country who live the outdoors lifestyle," said Sarah Palin, host of Amazing America with Sarah Palin. "Sportsman Channel is the leader in their industry and I am thrilled to be partnering with them on this show."

“Governor Palin is one of America’s most popular leaders, whose powerful love of country and passion for the great outdoors is inspiring to millions and millions of people,” said Gavin Harvey, CEO of Sportsman Channel. “As a sportswoman, humanitarian, and patriot who has visited every corner of the USA, there is no one more qualified to host Amazing America than Sarah Palin.”

Palin has been a dynamic figure in the media since her run in 2008 as Senator John McCain’s vice presidential running mate. She is a three-time New York Times best-selling author (Going Rogue, America By Heart and Good Tidings and Great Joy), generated almost 100 million Google hits and has nearly five million organic and engaged social media followers. Time Magazine also has named her as one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World” (2009, 2010). Governor Palin has been married to four-time Iron Dog champion Todd Palin for 25 years. They reside in Wasilla, Alaska, and have five children and two grandchildren.

It appears to be available on AT&T Uverse, but only on their U450 package.
I only have their U300 package, oh well.
No way I'm paying any more when I only watch maybe 12 hours of TV a week and most of that is FOX news/business and local news/weather when they are tolerable.

Boraxo is great. Best thing for washing hands.

I love Boron, the city and the element.

[dforest]

Doubt it, this channel probably gets fewer viewers than MSBS.

Can't wait to watch. I may have to go up to the next DISH level to get this channel. I'd canceled the premium line up when Al's Gorzeerah was added. A rep tried to tell me last week that AJ is no longer on the premium (Top 250??) line-up, but I haven't had time to check.

Thanks for the Amazing America ping, dear ;-)

They’re 162 of 173 on the cable channel list with a monthly carrying cost of 3 cents.

[Jane Long]

Doubt it, this channel probably gets fewer viewers than MSBS.

Not for long...not after April 2014!!

[KC_Lion]

[dforest]

Well, you may be right.
