of Men, Women and Households for the month of November on the
digital channels of Roku". That announcement was made today by
Avant-Garde Production's CEO and Executive Producer, Bill Rogers.
“For most television shows, November is the beginning of an audience growth leading up to the largest book which typically is during the month of February,” adds Rogers. “But our audiences numbers for November gave us blockbuster ratings, way beyond normal highs, even for February.”

America has made it through an extended period of social-distancing and shelter-in-place routines. The world is now a dramatically different place. It’s no secret that our society faces challenges that we have never seen before. However, in the 52 year history of our television show, we've learned that America is resilient, we proved it during 911 and during the recession of 2008, but this crisis is different. America is ready to come out of hiding and American Outdoors has launched our Re-Open America program to help with the process.
The outdoors has provided solace to so many during this crisis. Unprecedented numbers of people are responsibly taking to the outdoors wherever they are permitted. One thing is for certain, the outdoors and its fresh air and sunshine will play a big role in our Nation's recovery.
