Rural Media Group, Inc. is taking the next step in its direct-to-consumer strategy. In 2010, RMG was one of the first independent networks to launch a streaming service – The Country Club – bringing RFD-TV to new audiences across the globe. RMG is pleased to announce today that it has expanded the service under a new name: RFD-TV Now.
In addition to Web and Roku, subscribers will now be able to watch RFD-TV Now on their phone, tablet, connected and smart TVs with less delays, dropped signals and buffering.
RFD-TV Now delivers both real-time LIVE programming as well as an expansive on-demand library with access to more than 90 shows such as Hee Haw, Opry Encore, The Best of the Marty Stuart Show, Ag PHD, and FarmHer, as well as daily broadcasts of Market Day Report and Rural Evening News.
“RFD-TV Now marks a significant investment by our company in the exciting, yet challenging, new digital era,” said Gatsby Gottsch Solheim, General Counsel of RMG. “In a time when the big urban-based media conglomerates are squeezing independents and dropping rural programming, RFD-TV Now offers consumers a direct connection to RMG’s incredible and unduplicated offering of rural and agricultural content. We have no doubt that the combination of our unique programming and wide array of distribution platforms will deliver significant value for our viewers.”
RFD-TV Now is available for $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year. Visit www.WatchRFDTV.com for more information.
