DENVER (June 23, 2020) – Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel launch year four of Outdoor Sportsman Group Networks’ programming initiative to welcome the Fall hunting season – #DeerWeek presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors – with the announcement that country music star Tyler Farr (Only Truck in Town) will join Sportsman Channel’s Jeff Danker (BuckVentures) as host for the week of September 14-20 (7 p.m.-Midnight).

“Adding Tyler Farr, one of country music’s most exciting rising stars, to our #DeerWeek programming is a welcome addition,” Outdoor Sportsman Group President and CEO, Jim Liberatore said. “Tyler will join Jeff Danker as Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel hosts while serving up fun, excitement, camaraderie and adventure as they steer viewers towards deer hunting season.”

#DeerWeek, launched in 2017, is a unique, week-long, cross-platform event featuring primetime programming showcasing deer-specific content on Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel. This year marks the fourth consecutive year of this specialized, “deer-themed” programming block.

#DeerWeek content also will be present in relevant print, digital and social media platforms owned, operated and distributed by Outdoor Sportsman Group Networks and Outdoor Sportsman Group Publishing arms. More than 30 hours of Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel primetime programming will be dedicated to the week-long celebration of deer hunting.

About Jeff Danker: Jeff is co-owner and manager of BVO Productions. He started BuckVentures in 2003 with the motto “Shoot by Sight, Walk by Faith” based off of 2 Corinthians 5:7 and has been hosting hunting shows ever since. Jeff spent time as a professional team roper before starting his career in television. In addition to hunting for a living, Jeff speaks about his faith in church’s all across the country.

About Tyler Farr: Authentic and unapologetic, Tyler Farr records songs he would listen to in his truck – windows down, sound up. It just so happens country music fans want to hear the same songs. Without pandering or compromise, Farr’s powerhouse vocals, real-guy relatability, and willingness to mine emotional themes and personal imperfection resonates with people searching to find themselves in the music that underscores their daily routines and future dreams. With three No. 1 songs (“Redneck Crazy,” “Whiskey in My Water,” and “A Guy Walks Into a Bar”) and a growing string of hits, they found it in Farr. And like a weathered truck with rusty tail pipes, it can get a little loud and gritty. His current single “Only Truck In Town” – dubbed a “country boy’s love song” by Taste of Country – taps familiar topics without feeling tired or contrived. Online media outlet Sounds Like Nashville reports “Hitmaker Tyler Farr returns to country radio with a truck song of a different stripe…dropping into low gear with the slow-and-steady romance of ‘Only Truck In Town.’” Taste of Country put it, “The joy of the song is that it borrows a few bro-ish themes, but bends them enough to create something quite sincere and generous.”
