| DENVER (August 2, 2021) – Major League Fishing (MLF) continues to prove its television industry domination of bass fishing programming with linear television viewers consuming 2.9 billion total minutes of bass fishing action. MLF Cups and All Angles also led to Major League Fishing’s hold as top ratings grabber on Outdoor Channel in the second quarter (Q2) for the sixth consecutive year.With fans voraciously tuning into content on Outdoor Channel, Sportsman Channel, World Fishing Network and others, MLF nearly doubles its rivals in total minutes viewed of competitive bass fishing programming and easily stands alone as cable’s most-watched fishing competition.
“We continue to be humbled with appreciation to our fans by the numbers of viewers and minutes watched of our top-caliber bass fishing television programming,” Major League Fishing President and CEO Jim Wilburn stated. “Our MLF programming is the best in the business, bar none. The numbers back up this claim and we are proud to proclaim it.”
