Variety Show Comes to RFD-TV

President’s Letter

Ode to Trigger By Baxter Black, DVM

Resolutions Most everyone seems to make resolutions this time of year. At this point in time, with RFD-TV just celebrating our milestone 10th anniversary last month, we find ourselves also thinking about setting goals for the next 10 years. On one hand, I am extremely proud of where RFD-TV is at after these first 10 years – distribution into over 40 million homes, signed multi-year carriage agreements with every major cable/DBS company, over 12 million homes tuning in each week, 93 wonderful, independent programmers putting out first-class shows – accomplishments that we could not have even dreamed of happening 10 years ago when RFD-TV started out with 2 employees running the whole channel on DISH Network. On the other hand, I now know that RFD-TV is just scratching the surface of its real potential.

Hollywood made movies that portrayed the Code of the West And Roy Rogers and Trigger were surely two of the best They taught a generation the difference ‘tween right and wrong And left us a trail to follow and did it all with a song We praise the brilliant producers and the actors that drew in the crowd And all the sidekicks and stuntmen that made real cowboys proud And I grant they all deserve credit, for makin’ the movies so good But Hollywood didn’t make Trigger, Trigger made Hollywood.

I still read, and respond, to every e-mail sent to Info@ rfdtv.com. Even after 10 years it boils down to two clear messages still being received from the average RFD-TV viewer: 1. It’s about time someone paid attention to rural America, while portraying a positive image of farmers and ranchers. 2. Thank you for family-oriented programming. We don’t have to worry about RFD-TV with our kids/grandkids in the room.

Feedback and suggestions from our audience has been the one constant over the past 10 years. Our viewers have never let us down, and always pointed RFD-TV in the right direction. Most recently, it was viewer e-mails that caused us to obtain Trigger/Bullet, which is proving to be the best decision ever made by this company. Instead of making new resolutions, I think we will just continue doing what has worked for the past 10 years, and let the audience be our guiding light. Please keep those letters and e-mails coming, and I will just drive the bus. A Happy & Prosperous New Year to You All,

I will admit it took everything short of pulling my teeth to get me to join in the social media mania which is all around us. My friends and coworkers finally convinced me to at least try “Facebook”. Although it has reconnected me to many friends with which I had lost touch, the more suprising part was the messages I have received from RFD-TV viewers. How fun it is to learn about you and to be able to share in your interests and opinions. Although RFD-TV has had Facebook and Twitter pages for awhile, I am pleased to tell you our plan to connect and communicate in the coming year, has us tripling our effort. I hope you will “follow us” and “friend us” and keep us informed about your part in rural America. I would like to know about events you have attended from this issue and any you would like to see added next year. Tell us about the new programs and new episodes as well as your regular favorite shows. As always, we want to hear from you and make RFD-TV stronger than ever in 2011. Happy New Year, hope to see you in cyber-space,

Feature Story

Introducing

... RFD-TV The Bus

by Patrick Gottsch

RFD-TV’s Programmer Meeting on 10-10-10 in Branson, MO. Pictured are RFD-TV programmers and RFD-TV crew at the unveiling of the RFD-TV tour bus at Big Cedar Lodge.

suppose it was just a matter of time, but RFD-TV now has its own bus. It makes sense. This rural channel is now going to a growing number of remote events each month, and having a way to take the necessary staff needed to travel and setup at these locations was beginning to become a problem. Country music stars, and their crews, have used buses for years for economical transportation for their tours around the countryside. Why not us? How RFD-TV actually got our bus is an interesting story.

About a week after becoming the successful bidder for Trigger and Bullet, I was at RFD-TV The Theatre in Branson, Missouri watching new episodes of the Jimmy Sturr Show being produced, when a gentleman dressed all in black approached me backstage. “Congratulations on saving Trigger and Bullet,” he said. “I’ve been a fan of Roy Rogers for years, and have a picture of Trigger on my desk. What are you going to do with them?”

“Thank you,” I said. “Our audience has been writing the most wonderful letters about Trigger and Bullet, and I think we are going to take them on tour around the country in honor of Roy’s 100th birthday, so that people can bring their families out to see them one last time before they go back into a museum.” “Great idea,” he said. “Do you need a bus?” 6 RFD-TV THE MAGAZINE

“You bet,” I said, simply wanting to be kind. Then his twin brother joined in on the conversation, and they proceeded to tell jokes, sing songs, and carry on. Jimmy walked by and started laughing, introducing them as guests on the show for today’s taping. Of course, I thought the guy was kidding and I would never hear from him again. The next week I get a call. “Your bus is ready. You will need to get insurance, and pay us a dollar a year for the lease. That’s all, except for one more thing. We’d like for RFD-TV to give Jimmy Sturr an additional airing for his new weekly show on Sundays.”

That’s really the way it happened. The twins turned out to be the Calhoun Brothers, who are not only singers but the owners of a very successful Florida company that has been providing buses for many of the stars for years, called Entertainment Coaches of America (www.entertainmentcoaches.com). Proves the old saying again – “you never know.”

The next day my daughter, Raquel, designed this beautiful wrap for the bus that would really brand it for RFD-TV in tribute to our 10th Anniversary. The sides are full of symbolism from our first 10 years, with the 10’s on the front of the bus being a montage of pictures from every show that has ever been on RFD-TV. The back of the bus honors all of our distribution partners in the cable and satellite industry.

Feature Story A few weeks later we drove it from Florida to Branson and unveiled it at our annual programmers meeting at Big Cedar Lodge. All along the road on the way back, people were driving up along the side of the bus and honking, or giving us the thumbs up sign. Once again, we got a big break, as it was immediately clear that the bus was going to be a big hit with the RFD-TV audience, and help promote this channel around the country.

The Bus is a 2003 Prevost, 45 foot, H3 VIP, powered by a Detroit Series 60 Diesel Engine. It sleeps six in bunk beds, and has another queen bed in back with its own shower and toilet. Both the living room and bedroom areas expand another 3 feet when parked, with satellite television and radio on screens located both in the main cabin and individually at each bed. There is a full kitchen with two refrigerators, along with central heating and air conditioning. A plush leather, covers all the seating areas throughout the bus.

Twin brothers; Jerry Calhoun (left) and Jack Calhoun (right) on The Jimmy Sturr Show at RFD-TV The Theatre.

RFD-TV’s plans now are to use the bus extensively both with the Trigger/Bullet Happy Trails Tour, as well as, take it and display it at many of the rural events on our calendar for 2011, as we did recently at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis. FFA members were actually asking our driver for his autograph.

If you see the bus along the road, please honk if you watch RFD-TV. Or, if we are parked at one of the future rural events listed in this magazine, please be sure to come up and say “howdy”. 2011 is going to be a great year, and now just going to and from these events is going to be an adventure in itself, and so much fun. Thanks again John & Jerry. Oh, and by the way, the Sunday repeats of the Jimmy Sturr Show start on January 9 at 9:30am (eastern), right before the Sunday morning airing of The Marty Stuart Show. A deal is a deal.

on new year’s day featuring brule´

Paul LaRoche

and honoring native american culture “One Nation,” a float dedicated to reconciliation honoring Native American culture, is the RFD-TV entry in the 2011 Tournament of Roses Parade. The massive float, designed and built by Phoenix Decorating, pays tribute to the sights and sounds of Native America and features Brule’-the award-winning contemporary Native American musical group. RFD-TV and Paul LaRoche, founder of Brule’ and host of RFD-TV’s Hidden Heritage, hope to create a historic endeavor that will shed a long overdue spotlight on the American Indian culture. Through this collaboration, both parties hope to connect our global cultures in friendship and in unity, in an effort to support the

2011 Tournament of Roses Parade® theme of “Building Dreams, Friendships & Memories.” 2011 marks RFD-TV’s third consecutive year as a Rose Parade float participant. Focused around a 35-foot “fancy dancer,” the float stretches an impressive 75-feet in length. The fancy dancer performs the newest contemporary style of dance within the tribal pow-wow circuit and its characteristic upbeat, flashy and bright features make it a fantastic representation of the natural beauty within the Native American culture. Brule’ will play inspirational live music as they ride down the 5.5 mile parade route along Colorado Blvd. Additionally, fancy and traditional dancers wearing authentic regalia will perform Native American dances, including 100 tribal representatives from across America performing their tribe’s custamary performance with “One Nation” and decorate the float during the days leading up to the

“one nation”

What’s New

wShotgun Red Variety Show The Shotgun Red Variety Show is a new and exciting show featuring great talent from 6 to 96 years young.

The Shotgun Red Co. reviewed over 1200 CDs and DVDs sent in from acts all around the USA and Canada. We looked for acts that were different and performers that we knew the RFD-TV viewers would just love!

From the moment we all walked into RFD-TV The Theatre in Branson, MO and saw the giant Shotgun Red Variety Show backdrop go up behind the stage, we knew this was going to be a special show. The band and crew arrived early for set up. The stage props and Shotgun Red’s Desk (home base) were put together , the band arranged on the stage and the show came to life. There was excitement in the air as each artist arrived for their rehearsal. It was written on their faces as they sat in the front row looking up at the large decorated stage eagerly awaiting their turn.

Behind the scenes, the camera and sound crew worked hard making sure everything was ready to go. After each act rehearsed it was off to the dressing rooms to get ready for the real thing. Despite the pre-show jitters the atmosphere was family-like fun and full of energy and enthusiasm. Many artists were simply thrilled to meet Shotgun Red. Many of them grew up watching Shotgun Red on shows such as Nashville Now with Ralph Emery and Hee Haw. The audience was applauding when The Shotgun Red Band played the opening theme song and Shotgun Red came out. Shotgun Red introduced his beautiful co-host, Miss Sheila for some comedy and fun and the show began. One by one, each artist performed a variety of songs and acts. The acts that were chosen to perform included everything from jugglers, family bands, recording artists, comedians, dancers and magicians. Steve Hall and the Shotgun Red Band is featured at the end of each show. You won’t want to miss it, you never know what you will see, it’s a variety show!

Roping Riding with Tyler Magnus TEAM roping is returning to RFD-TV with a revised and

revamped 30-minute program: Roping and Riding with In January Tyler Magnus. Come July, Tyler will be back in the living rooms of those ready to sharpen their roping skills. RFD-TV couldn’t be more delighted to have the nine-time National Finals Rodeo Qualifier and Texas Hall of Fame Inductee return to the network with episodes set to be stronger than ever.

Tyler is certainly no stranger to the roping pen and has achieved notoriety and respect through his roping prowess and above average horsemanship skills. It’s not very often you find a cowboy like Tyler - one who happens to be as proficient on the head side and as he is on the heel side. Besides being a capable roper, he’s also become a highly regarded clinician and has gained a faithful audience of roping enthusiasts who are no doubt ready for his return to RFD-TV.

“Ropers love watching roping and recognizes the value in observing others in the sport.”

“Without fail, every week I receive inquiries about Tyler Magnus’ show and when it will return. We are definitely excited to have him back in our regular lineup, and I know

for sure every team roper who watches RFD-TV is equally as happy!” says Lizzie Iwersen of RFD-TV’s Nashville office.

Roping and Riding accomplishes the same as many of RFD-TV’s equine-focused programs by bringing information straight from the expert to the audience. Tyler knows where his viewer’s interests lie and has successfully created a show that marries entertainment with education. Those watching can expect tips for all levels of ropers both on foot and horseback, with the dummy as well as with live cattle. Tyler makes it easy for viewers to integrate what they see on the program into their own practice regimen.

RFD-TV viewers can also look forward to seeing the short go’s from ropings all over the country. From jackpots to Pro Rodeos, kids to “big dogs,” Tyler knows that ropers love watching roping and recognizes the value in observing others in the sport. Not only will you see quick loops, but also the finest horses going down the road today. About the new show Tyler says, “We’re going to spend a lot of time showing real people doing real things - that’s going to be a recurring theme in the show. We want to keep it simple and true to the sport of team roping.”

So saddle your horse and grab your rope ‘cause RFD-TV’s gonna be “stickin’ bones and jerkin’ pipes”. every Thursdays at 7pm ET(update).

Ten Students Named Agri-Entrepreneurs during 83rd National FFA Convention. This year, ten students were named agri-entrepreneurs of the year during the 83rd National FFA Convention. Those students include: Jordan Brabec of Nebraska; Lydia Buck of Missouri; Ashley Ceinwen of Kentucky; Courtney Cox of Kentucky; Jasper Cunningham of Michigan; Caleb Dickerson of Arkansas; William Maltbie of Oklahoma; Denise Miller of Arkansas; Ross Rojik of Pennsylvania; Dustin Stanton of Missouri.

RFD-TV’s Patrick Gottsch received a VIP Citation for making significant contributions to agricultural education. The VIP Citation is one of the most prestigious awards a person may receive for supporting FFA and its programs. Gottsch was honored during an onstage presentation at the 83rd National FFA Convention, held Oct. 20-23 in Indianapolis, Ind. In 1988, Gottsch approached the National FFA Organization with a vision of broadcasting the national FFA convention on his new television network. Through his sponsorship and generosity, the National FFA Organization has been to make its national convention available to viewers across the country.

The VIP Citation recognizes the dedicated individuals who contribute to the FFA mission of student success through their hard work and cooperation. Without such strong and outstanding commitment, FFA would not be able to help build strong character in its members, who in turn build strong families, Alexandria Henry presents a VIP plaque to communities and industries. Patrick Gottsch at the 2010 National FFA Convention

In 2003, Gottsch made it possible for FFA to create and broadcast a television magazine program that featured news and stories about FFA. Now, years later, the “FFA Today” show is seen around the nation. The positive promotional value for FFA and agricultural education has been significant.

12 RFD-TV THE MAGAZINE

This past year, Gottsch invited FFA to be featured on the RFD-TV float in the 2010 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif. As a result, 60 young FFA members from across the nation were featured in live broadcasts of the event by multiple networks in the U.S. and abroad.

Agriculture

Sheep: A GROWING Industry The U.S. sheep industry continues to set records as lamb prices are at an all-time high, the wool market is the highest it’s been since 1989 and the cull ewe and pelt markets are very lucrative.

Reduced worldwide supply combined with emerging demand for American lamb are driving markets for sheep production and catching the attention of more agriculture producers. In addition, lamb and wool companies are working with the industry to support the expansion of sheep production as a top priority for both sectors of marketing. “The sheep industry is a growing opportunity for those already in agriculture or for people looking to incorporate livestock on their land,” says Peter Orwick, executive director of the American Sheep Industry Association (ASI). “The expansion of existing sheep operations and creation of new sheep farms and ranches is crucial to meet the demand.” With increased immigration into this country and the popularity of different protein sources, new food traditions follow, including lamb consumption. For most of these ethnic groups, lamb is one of the most widely eaten meats, both because of its cultural and religious connotations. In fact, in 2000, 25 percent of the total lamb slaughter was channeled into this market and by 2009 that portion increased to 34 percent.

In addition, demand for local food production and the American consumers’ desire to know the farmer/rancher who produces the product are other key reasons for the emerging demand of U.S. lamb. Sheep growers near metropolitan areas have long been producing for these non-traditional markets with farmers’ markets and direct sales to consumers and restaurants; however, today, lamb sales that fit this type of marketing mold have expanded into the Midwest and South. As a result, marketing opportunities for lamb have expanded across the United States as buyers scour the entire country to line up lambs and mature sheep to meet the consumer’s demand.

These non-traditional markets also carry over to the wool business. Although the U.S. military is one of the biggest drivers of domestic wool sales and exports account for nearly 60 percent of the U.S. wool production, some producers have developed sheep farms specifically to supply the growing hand-spinning and knitting markets. “The demand is there and will continue to grow for both producers and packers,” explains Orwick. “The non-traditional market shows no signs of slowing down, and in fact, is clamoring for a lamb supply.” The impact of emerging markets on the sheep industry, in addition to many other industryrelated issues such as the wool market, targeted grazing and mapping of the sheep genome, will be discussed at ASI’s annual convention Jan. 19-22 in Reno, Nev. This provides an excellent opportunity to learn more about an industry that is looking to expand on a record-setting year. This topic will also be featured on the Jan. 24 LIVE show when the sheep industry returns to RFD-TV. Visit ASI’s Web site at www.sheepusa.org.

Bad River By Paul LaRoche Edited by Barbara Marshak

ur little house on the Lower Brule Sioux Reservation rests along the bend where the Missouri River makes a large S-shaped curve. Having moved our family in 1996 from the suburbs of Minneapolis to the serene setting of the reservation, I often walked the river’s edge contemplating the new direction in my life. Hiking the narrow shoreline one day, I thought about the rich history of the Lakota people and all the changes that were forced upon them. A log floating mid-river triggered a story an elder named Altwin Grassrope once told me. When I was about twelve years old they took me off the rez and told me I had to go to boarding school in Fort Pierre. I had a bad teacher and they made me cut my hair. They didn’t treat me real nice, so I escaped three times. The last time I escaped I snuck out at midnight and went down to the river. It had just rained and the Bad River was running pretty swift. I stepped into the black water until it was chest high and I let the current carry me away in the darkness of night. The Bad River flows into the Missouri and there I caught a log and hung on through the night. When

the sun came up I saw some trees that looked kinda familiar. I was exhausted and could hardly pull myself onto dry land. I saw a rider on horseback and ducked down in a grove of sandbar willows, too tired to swim any farther. Then I recognized Fred LaRoche and he gave me a ride home. Your dad was a real nice man. The words floated across the river as though Altwin had just said them. I closed my eyes, imagining my father riding up on horseback to save the young boy. In my assimilation into the Lakota culture I learned when the old ways of our people were taken away, things changed, most often for the worse. Yet there are many individuals like Altwin—and my father— who carried the Lakota spirit forward with humility, integrity, and justifiable pride.

Equine Dental Care 101 Dental care is an important part of a horse’s health maintenance program. Did you know horses may eat up to 12 hours a day? Eating wears the teeth down, but unlike dogs and cats, horse (and cow) teeth keep growing and therefore, uneven edges can develop. This causes sores on the cheeks and tongue. “Floating” the teeth is when a metal rasp is used to file down these rough edges. The filing doesn’t hurt as there are no nerves there.

Cowgirl’s Dresses

Signs of dental problems can include dropping of food while chewing, excessive drooling, chewing with head tilted, bit discomfort or resistance, head tossing, abnormal head carriage while ridden, nasal discharge, facial swellings, bad breath, choke, weight loss and poor performance. Horse teeth should be examined annually and floated if necessary, by a professional veterinarian.

Nebraska Historical Events

Our community is coming on it’s 125th year anniversary. We will celebrating the last week of June trough July 4th. We are planning many special events in our historical area. We are creating a book of interviews from some of our elderly in our town. Some of these citizens are in their 90s and 100s. There will be a tour of historical buildings, including our underground R.R. and includes a scavenger hunt. The Western Art Show, Chariot Races, parade and PRCA rodeo and an old fashioned cook off with chuck wagons, square dancers, Native American dancers and many other activities.

The Fur Trade Museum in Chadron, Nebraska dates back before European settlements in the area. It was a place where white trappers stopped to gain goods for their livelihood as well as trade furs with the Native Americans. Chadron’s interesting history grew from there. Crawford was started as a town for the entertainment of the soldiers at Fort Robinson and a converging point where to Railroads were being built in 1887. The Fort had many notable historical events. Here are some examples: Fort Robinson has 47 years of military history. It was a substantial part in the taming of the west. The Cheyenne outbreak took place there as well as Crazy Horse’s death. Buffalo Bill Cody’s fight with Yellowhand took place north of Crawford. It housed the first triple crown winner for the famed Thoroughbred race horses. It was one of 7 places in the U.S. that were part of their breeding program. These horses were used to create the finest equestrian military units of World War I. 10,000 horses and 3,000 mules were housed there during certain periods of time for the wars before WWII.

The 1930’s Olympic Equestrian Teams were housed and practiced there. After WWI and our entrance into WWII, it housed 1200 dogs for the Canine units as well as 3,000 German prisoners of war. 36 RFD-TV THE MAGAZINE

In the community of Crawford there was also a colorful Western History, such as Big Bats shooting death in the saloon in town, now named the Corner Bar. It was the location of the first female owned Cinema in the United States. Toadstool Park, a national Geologic park, is a very unusual place to visit. Near there the Hudson/Meng bone bed is the 5th largest of it’s kind in the world. It is a place where generations of Native Americans came to through their migrations and hunted. East of these places just 6 miles was where a world class find was hidden deep in the clay; two mammoths with their tusks locked in combat. These mammoths are found at the Trailside Museum located in Fort Robinson. Agate Fossil Bed National Monuments also rich in geologic history, but has deeper meaning in the relationship with The great Native American lead; Red Cloud and rancher Mr. Cook.

Train watching is popular. Towns sprouted everywhere to supply coal and water to the to main lines. Many of these towns are now ghost towns or sites to be explored by our visitors. Northwest Nebraska High Country is a group of rural people primarily ranchers with value added businesses on their land. They would love to show you what they have to offer the pubic. I am one of them, my ranch has been featured on RFD-TV’s Best of America By Horseback.

Viewer Mail RFD-TV is an awesome channel - there is nothing else like it! For those of us with horses and agricultural land, there is no comparison to the information available on RFD-TV. I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area metroplex and am fortunate enough to have 5 acres of land where I keep my horses. We also have just bought 54 acres of land 45 minutes from our home, where we spend weekends developing and improving it. I record several of the RFD-TV programs on a regular basis, so I am sure not to miss the information they offer. There is no where else I know to get this information, and I value it! Thank you, Debbie Rank

We have found the programs shown on RFD-TV to be highly enjoyable, as well as informative. At a time when rural life, such as farming, is very difficult, it is really nice to be able to see shows which help our country to see exactly how important rural life is to the entire country. I would like to point out that my family does not live in a rural area, but rather a suburban area. We do however watch this channel quite a bit and I have often told coworkers about this channel. Patricia E. Vogelsong

I just finished watching the first showing of the Roy Rogers Happy Trails Theatre. Thanks. I am 81 years old next Saturday and I will take issue with anyone who says that at an old age you can’t feel like a kid again. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it brought back so many memories. I can hardly wait until the next showing. Thanks so very much Patrick for a wonderful show. Of course it had to be great, as are all of your programs. Keep up the good works and God bless you and all of your staff, as Roy would say “MAY THE GOOD LORD TAKE A LIKING TO YOU”. Dorothy Mcmahan Howdy from Switzerland! Thank you so much for sending me the membershipcard from Roy Rogers riders-club. I am very happy for this. - With compliments of your great websitetriggerandbullet.com Happy trails forever greetings, - jörg stöckly( for friends yogibaer) 38 RFD-TV THE MAGAZINE

Just saw your TV commentary regarding programming and commercial standards for RFDTV. Of course, I couldn’t agree more. Although I’m not “country”, i.e., don’t listen to country music, don’t own a pair of cowboy boots, or drive a pickup truck - I believe your programming is the only wholesome alternative in a sea of trash programming on cable and satellite TV. Market-wise, I probably don’t fit the profile of any of your demographic/psychographic segments. I am a web analytics consultant working mostly in New York City. I commute weekly from a rural town in the Shenandoah Valley (VA). My clients are so amazed that I prefer to commute - rather than making the big move to “The City”. As you can imagine, being a Christian with conservative values, I view big city living equivalent to living in the City Dump. I find your variety of wholesome programming educational, informative and entertaining. In addition, I never have to worry about swear words - or worse - people taking the Lord’s name in vain, with your programming. Also, I’ve come to appreciate that rural values - which is what this country was founded on - is swiftly vacating mainstream America. I’m glad you’re keeping the flame of decency and integrity alive. Decent people need entertainment that reflects their values. I’m sure most investors would view your stance against trashy commercials as anti-business. And I’m sure your conviction exacts a stiff economic penalty. I’m one rural resident who definitely appreciates the moral stand you’ve chosen. Thanks, Dwight Smith

It is 8:45 PM and I just watched you make an allAmerican speech about how you and all good clean Americans feel about watching TV. We thoroughly enjoy watching RFD-TV because, it is for the whole family with no embarrassing commercials or filth talk. We commend you for doing an outstanding job with your TV channel. God Bless You and all the people who work tireless to provide wholesome entertainment. Have a great day! Judy Wilson, NC Thank you for presenting family entertainment. Thank you for bringing Roy and Dale back! Thank you for including Dusty and Dustin in the shows. Thank you for not using commercials of bad taste! God bless you in your support of the Cowboy Way!
