This may be an even worse fate than when ECW was on TNN Friday nights.
I wonder if Callis is going to start a new Network?

Because liking hunting shows and manly things suddenly these guys have a fragile sense of masculinity? There's nothing wrong with liking hunting shows. That's absolutely fine, more power to anyone that does, no one's taking that away from them. That's not the issue. The problem is in the fact their social media goes and posts things like this - or this - That just screams, "I have to constantly reassure myself that I'm a man." That screams it louder than those original commercials for the Spike network that LITERALLY screamed "America's First Network For Men!"

At least TNN was more or less basic cable at the time, I think, so it wasn't an issue of potential exposure. And their ratings were decent at the time (IIRC they regularly did around the 1.0 mark), though a very distant third to both WWF and WCW. It was just a really bad fit along with constant interference on TNN's part a year or so before they rebranded away from being a country music and culture station into a more general pop culture station and bringing WWF Raw is War on board.

Idk why but I have the feeling the end goal would be to force Rusty to sell all of his shares to Anthem so they get to have 100% ownership over Pursuit and then rebrand it as the Fight Network US.

The real interesting thing for me is wondering what the hell Pursuit channel's social media guy does aside from this. The accounts are all pretty inactive, which tells me it's not a dedicated social media manager or even outsourced to a firm that's managing multiple different accounts for smaller businesses. Most likely answer to me is that it's someone with a bigger position with the network, which really doesn't paint a good portrait of the idea.

If Pursuit were a network for men, they'd show 24/7 cute kitten stuff, because cuteness is very manly.

Pretty sure that Pursuit would never have aired this wonderful moment from last year.

The guy who runs the Pursuit social media has never kissed or even spoken to a woman right?

It'd be nice if it showed up on the guide so that I could DVR.

Getting back on Thursday at 8:00 PM Eastern would be nice, too, but I'm not holding my breath for that at the moment.
