Known popularly as the “Super Bowl of Rodeo,” the NFR is a championship event held annually by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) in Las Vegas. The NFR is one of the biggest events in Western sports where 15 money-winners in each event face off over 10 days, all vying for the world title.
The Cowboy Channel launched earlier this summer on July 1st shifting from the classic TV lineup of nostalgic and popular comedy sitcoms to focus on Western sports and everything that encompasses the popular western lifestyle. Most recently the team covered rodeos for “Western Sports Round-Up” with Steve Kenyon and Amy Wilson broadcasting LIVE from the Days of ’47 Rodeo in Salt Lake City, the National High School Finals Rodeo in Gillette, Wyoming and the historic Cheyenne Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
