RFD-TV Enters the 25th Year of Broadcasting!

RFD-TV officially launched in December 2000, which means that, as of this month, we will begin celebrating our 25th year of broadcasting “Rural America’s Most Important Network,” fulfilling a vision that our founder, Patrick Gottsch, began forming as far back as the 1980s.

We look forward to celebrating our 25th year of broadcasting, with gratitude to all of our faithful viewers and loyal supporters!
