The channel&rsquo;s content includes news, entertainment, country music, and lifestyle programming. The Cowboy Channel is the official network of ProRodeo and the first 24-hour television network totally dedicated to western sports and the western lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">FreeCast&rsquo;s Executive Vice President of Digital Content and Channel Distribution, Tracy West, talked about the company&rsquo;s role in delivering television to underserved markets. &ldquo;Americans in general complain about the lack of TV provider competition. In rural and remote areas especially, telcos have a hard time providing that service economically. All SelectTV needs is bandwidth to deliver a quality, competitive TV package. With SelectTV, users don&rsquo;t have to choose between specialized content and the mainstream big networks.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;We are pleased to be partnering with FreeCast to expand distribution of RFD-TV and Cowboy Channel and bring more rural focused programming to television viewers in Heartland America,&#8221; said David Guinan, Chief Digital Officer of Rural Media Group, Inc.<\/p>\n<p><span style='font-size:18px !important;'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/companyname\/freecast.com_7036.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">FreeCast Inc.<\/a><br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Kevin Speedy<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/email_contact_us.php?pr=freecast-reaches-deal-to-distribute-rfdtv-and-the-cowboy-channel\" rel=\"nofollow\">Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Phone:<\/strong> (407) 374-1607<br \/><strong>Address:<\/strong>6901 TPC Drive  Suite 200 <br \/><strong>City:<\/strong> Orlando<br \/><strong>State:<\/strong> Florida<br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> United States<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/freecast.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/freecast.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><object type=\"text\/html\" data=\"https:\/\/freecast.com\" style=\"width:900px; height:400px;\"><\/object><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=freecast-reaches-deal-to-distribute-rfdtv-and-the-cowboy-channel\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Channels from Rural Media Group are now available to SelectTV subscribers.
