DISH broadens premium sports offering to
include Outside Television’s active adventure lifestyle
programming, while providing an immediate free preview to all
customers nationwide
DISH Network L.L.C. and Outside Television today announced
Outside Television will join DISH’s Multi-Sport Pack of premium
sports entertainment immediately, giving millions of active outside
enthusiasts across the nation the opportunity to enjoy the popular
action channel based on Outside Magazine and its acclaimed
adventurist brand.
This new multi-year agreement provides DISH Multi-Sport
subscribers access to the people, places, sports and adventures
that make the outside world an inspiration and experience like no
other as told by iconic trailblazers willing to challenge
themselves against the world’s most spectacular landscapes and
natural elements.
“We’ve partnered with Outside Television to take our customers
directly into the action of extreme outdoor sports,” said Josh
Clark, DISH vice president of programming. “We are expanding our
lineup of active outdoor lifestyle programming and unconventional
sports coverage from mountaineering to BASE jumping and
kitesurfing.”
Outside Television is available to all DISH customers now
through May 6 during a month-long free preview. The preview arrives
just in time to include several of the most grueling trans-oceanic
legs of the annual 38,739-nautical mile Volvo Ocean Race in “Life
at the Extreme” and new season premieres of Outside Television’s
acclaimed series “Locals” and “Outlook: Icons Revealed” to feature
Amazonian and Arctic explorer Mike Horn, renowned half-pipe
snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler and freestyle ski champion Julian
Carr, among others.
“Outside strives to inspire people to get outside and
participate in the world beyond their living rooms, and DISH is
finding new ways to attract just the kinds of people who would
rather make their own adventures rather than follow a more
conventional path,” said Dennis Gillespie, senior vice president of
distribution for Outside Television. “We’re pleased to partner with
DISH to enable every one of the more than 140 million active
outside enthusiasts living across the U.S. to now find their own
way into Outside Television.”
With more than 35 channels of America’s top sports services,
DISH’s Multi-Sport Pack offers fans and enthusiasts the very best
in live games, expert analysis, in-depth coverage and direct
immersion into one-of-a-kind experiences at an unbeatable value.
Outside Television joins the Multi-Sport Pack on Channel 390 in the
DISH programming lineup.
