History
The Cowboy Channel replaced what it used to be the Family cable television network, a popular comedy sitcom of the 70’s and 80’s. In 2012 RMG network had the intention to make a channel specifically for the western lifestyle. The name of the channel tells the audience what to expect to watch on such as channel: western lifestyle, cowboys, rodeo, western music, horses, family, ranching, and so on.
RMG network now has its original material – a large library dedicated to the western world. On weekends you can enjoy live and recorded events of bull riding, rodeo, and competitions.
