Lunkerville Moves to Saturday Mornings on CBS Sports

New York, NY, July 17, 2019 --(PR.com)-- The internationally syndicated television show Lunkerville has a new time and air day for its 2019 broadcast season: 8am on Saturday morning on CBS Sports Network, the coveted weekend morning slot. “This is the ideal place for Lunkerville,” says Director/Host Mike de Avila. “If you’re an angler and you’re not fishing on Saturday morning, you’re watching fishing on TV. It’s also a time when a lot of families are at home. Our goal has always been to reach and entertain even folks who don’t fish! Lunkerville is a great introduction to a sport that’s fun and affordable and has the added benefit of bringing family and friends together.”

Lunkerville is in its 15th year of continuous, weekly national broadcast. From its inception, the series was an immediate hit with outdoorsmen - and women - on The Sportsman Channel, winning viewer-favorite fishing show three years in a row, Viewer Favorite Host and Best Freshwater Fishing Episode. Its popularity continues to rise, as evidenced by its burgeoning Facebook fan-base, now close to 600K followers with engagement that places it among the top fishing show Facebook page behind only the legend Bill Dance.

In addition to the CBS Sports TV premieres, Lunkerville episodes will be rebroadcasted on World Fishing Network (WFN) five times the same week during the summer, and teased heavily on Facebook Watch. Come Fall/Winter, the entire season will be available on Amazon Prime Video.
