Has apparently done an extensive change to their program lineup.
In are lot more, and I mean a lot more ‘music’ programs, and more older ‘automotive’ type car and pickup repair programs, but hose are old shows that were broadcast almost a decade ago. Out, are a lot ‘agricultural’ based programs.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Sadly just following the money. How many farmers are there? How many are semi interested in restoring cars and trucks? So I guess a thank you to the passed owner for thinking of country people at all.

Machinery Pete is gone. I guess you can get something of his on you-tube. He has a Farm Journal connection, so I don't know what happened with RFD. Patrick's daughters now running the show. Too bad Patrick is gone. Now, more hot rod tractor pull stuff. Like almost everything, it's about the $.

The daughters sold the network a few months ago.

Conflicting information? according to "Google" the daughters still run RFD TV via Rural Media Group which they own & operate. They did sell The Cowboy Channel & The Cowgirl Channel. So, there may be other information out there, who do you believe? He's still missed no matter what. He was raised about 10 miles from where I grew up and at one time the extended Gottsch family was all over the Elkhorn/Bennington area. Shameless also frequented that space and knew the area very well. May they both RIP.
