Portfolio Entertainment Takes On HD Cowboy Series

TORONTO, July 13: Portfolio Entertainment has acquired the
worldwide distribution rights, excluding Canada, to the high-definition
lifestyle series Cowboy Country Television
from Cowboy Country Productions.

The acquisition was made at this year’s Banff World
Television Festival. The first three seasons, consisting of 39×30-minute
episodes, are completed and the fourth and fifth seasons, consisting of
26×30-minute episodes, are currently in production and are scheduled for
delivery at the end of this year. This brings the total amount of available
episodes to 65.

Produced by Cowboy Country Productions, Cowboy Country
Television is broadcast on Access TV,

series captures the adventure and excitement at the center of the western
cowboy lifestyle. Each episode showcases scenic routes to authentic ranches,
actual cowboys and the life stories of today’s Wild West.

fell in love with in Brokeback Mountain,” said Joy Rosen, the president and co-founder of Portfolio
Entertainment. “The series features breathtaking vistas shot in HD as well as
captivating stories about the people who are today’s cowboys.”
