Fort Worth, Texas – The Cowboy Channel, which is the official network of ProRodeo and the first 24-hour television network totally dedicated to western sports and the western lifestyle, for 10 nights will showcase 10 rounds of professional rodeo competition.

 

The top 120 rodeo stars in the world will participate in seven rodeo events; bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, barrel racing, tie-down roping, barrel racing and bull riding. For beginners who want to learn more about rodeo, visit Rodeo 101 here, LINK.

 

The Wrangler NFR consists of 10 rounds over 10 days, which goes from Dec. 3-12. Cowboys and barrel racers can earn money by placing in first through sixth place in any round. The event world champions are determined by their total earnings for the season.

Who to Watch

“Some of the top contestants to watch include Sage Kimzey who is chasing a seventh straight world championship in bull riding and Barrel racer Hailey Kinsel who is chasing a third straight barrel racing world title,” said Jeff Medders, main television host of the Wrangler NFR and The Cowboy Channel GM/President. “The brightest spotlight will be on two of the youngest competitors in the field. Shad Mayfield, just a year out of high school, looks to continue his 2020 dominance in tie-down roping, and Stetson Wright, who’s barely 21-years of age, is favored to win a second straight All-Around World Championship. Wright will be competing in saddle bronc riding and bull riding.”

 

The Cowboy Channel NFR broadcast also will air on RFD-TV and Rural Radio. The simulcast will showcase new technological advances such as 4K, Sky Cam and Ghost Cam to not miss one single second of the action. In addition to The Cowboy Channel’s television network, the coverage will also be available for live streaming + on demand in three languages – English, Spanish and Portuguese – on the PRCA on Cowboy Channel+ app for $74.99 for the 10 days at www.cowboychannelplus.com.
