Rodeo from your couch: What's on the Cowboy and Cowgirl Channels this week
By Teal Stoll
Two mainstays of western entertainment, the Cowboy Channel and the Cowgirl Channel, have constant rodeo action available. If you have a cable provider, you can probably find a package that includes the channels. If you have a streaming platform with live tv, such as Sling, you can also find the channels there.
The Cowboy Channel Plus also offers an annual subscription. For $119.99 annually, subscribers have access to live programming, archives of all previous rodeos, and the National Finals Rodeo.
Until then, there is plenty to keep rodeo fans entertained and we've recapped this week's listing.
