What happened to OTW???

They are no longer on the Comcast Sports Network.
They used to show it Fridays @ 1:00 pm and Sundays @ 9:00 am.

Did they go to another cable channel or just cancel outright???

I am a legend in my own mind!

Out filming today, don't know what's going on with the TV show.

They only put four new shows in the can for this last season. At least that was my count.

I am boycotting everything that has to do with OTW until they change their attitude about the striper problem. If they make the CUP totally C&R I'll be back. Otherwise Fck them

Good!
By then I'll be too busy ice fishing to waste time watching their shows about fishing for sharks and tuna out on the banks, or yet ANOTHER trip to the islands to tell more stories of how good the fishing USED to be before we were born.

I can understand them showing episodes to the hibernators, who are dreaming about 6 - 8 months in the future, but for the "real" outdoorsmen and women, would it kill them to have shows that are seasonally related? Exactly how does showing me how you did fishing the banks or off Cutty LAST YEAR help me ice fish during the winter? Who thinks that showing an episode about trolling for lakers (shown in February) translates into ice fishing by jigging?

That is just another reason that I chose to stop watching thier show.

I wish we had a real show about fishing for the average angler, and not the boater elite. They have truly lost their way and lost a viewer!

yeah the issue is they are really the only local show..

I thought they did a decent job on some episodes last year (like the weakfish from shore one) but they also had some shows that were not boat-centric and they were still kind of ridiculous.

One was trout fishing at some club in Plymouth that doesn't accept new members. The other was the kayak fishing show - awesome to see a kayak show, but they friggin mothershipped the kayaks to the elizabeths on their boats!

Boats are where the money is....advertising dollars

Surfcasting episodes = little advertisers.

Sad reality

good shore spots are too hard to come by. not sure I'd want them showing them to the world. They did a show at a spot on the canal, not a total secret but difficult to access. After that, too much traffic and trash left behind caused the home owners to become difficult.

yeah a good surfcasting TV show would be really hard - I mean, what are you going to do, go to the Block and do the whole thing in night vision?
