              Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | I am just so impressed with the Cowboy Channel they are doing such a bang up job with this NFR, they have got so much to talk about and loving all the interviews with all the cowboy and cowgirls. Right now they are doing the TailGate Party, coming in a few mins. will be the barrelracers interviews..  |

       Location: Displaced Iowegian | They are doing a good job. The one thing that they are missing out in showing is the Junior National Finals that are happening there right now in the Cowtwon arena. It would be neat to, at least, see them interview the go-round" winners. |

I think they just have so much to talk about that they are staying really busy, but it would be cool to see some of the Jr. go round winners. I thought it was so cool that they interviewed Ethan Wayne and talking about the John Wayne Museum in Fort Worth that they open up there. |

| I love the Cowboy Channel but one thing that has been pointed out to me was that they didn't offer closed caption for the hard of hearing. I have a friend that is deaf but read lips very well but for this she needs the closed caption. Maybe they will get it in the near future, they are an awesome network never the less! |

Oh wow I didnt know that about not having closed caption. I bet you could email or write them and ask about having closed caption added to their program.. The owner of Cowboy Channel looks like hes a really nice man and I bet he would add CC in a hurry if he knew that its needed..  |

| I will say they trying hard, but the production quality is bad. It's like they are working without any producers. Bad cuts, mics being on when they shouldn't be or off when someone is talking, cameras out of sync with sound and coloring, coming back from commercials and people not knowing they are on. Sorry, but having family work in TV makes you notice things like that. It's like watching a news show that high school kids have put together. The NFR action is good as always though. |

Wow, thats too bad.. Me I have been watching CC and they seem to never have missed a beat while I watched, everything has been so professional I thought, I guess I have missed the bad side of them.. Now RFDTV I did have some trouble with them so I switched to CC and been very happy with them so far.. |

Usually, when they are broadcasting from two different sites at the same time. HOWEVER, I sure like it a LOT better than a couple of years ago when they would cut away from all of the timed events to have commercials ..... and you missed a couple of contestants.

I think with events like the NFR and it being live with so many things going on I can see a glitche here and there happening. I havent seen any but I'm sure they are there, I have it on most of the day but watch a little bit here and there while doing housework or coming in and out of the house doing other things, I stop for a few mins to see whats going on, I love the way they do the TailGate Party, right now its Outside the Barrel.. |

         Location: LouLouVille, OK | I think I have literally loved every min of it!

| They are doing a great job. We have The Cowboy Channel and RFD TV. The sound quality is much better on RFD is the only difference I have noticed. |

| You can watch the Jr NFR on cowboy channel plus. I don't have the cowboy channel so I bought the live streaming on cowboy channel plus. I think CC has done a GREAT job, and I think the rodeo has run much smoother in Arlington than Vegas. Especially love beginnings honoring military, God and country! |

          Location: 31 lengths farms | I think they have done an outstanding job with something this huge, first time in this set up . I think a mic left on or a angle shot missed is all learning curves and I'd rather watch a miss angle (or not watch it as the cAse might be) than to not have an NFR to watch at all. Well done CC!!! |

   Location: Randolph, Utah | The Cowboy channel is far and away better than CBS sports or ESPN ever was! The only complain I have, and I've seen it a lot, is you had to purchase the NFR separate from the yearly cowboy channel app subscription. We have dish so it didn't affect me, but I was under the impression the NFR would be part of the yearly cost. |

I agree, loving every min of the CC and love seeing behind the scenes action, this Rodeo has been so Fantastic this year, never saw so much stuff going on. Texas has done a really GOOD JOB with this NFR.. God Bless Texas  |

| Yeah, you're right. I mean we could be watching this on the CBS sports network where everybody else in the world gets to watch it live while here in America we had to endure a time delay for a sport that originated IN America. I'll take the hiccups over the time delay any day. Couple a years ago I spent the money on CBS Sports Network thinking I would get to see live coverage. WRONG! One of their customer service representatives got an ear full and I ended up getting a refund. I mean how the hell can you have an American Made sport and it's the Americans who have the time delay? I'm sure a show like the WNFR takes a lot of planning especially during a pandemic. I'd say the Cowboy Channel has done a fine job so far AND they're not stingy with their coverage. I agree with who ever said they hope the Cowboy Channel gets to keep the WNFR. I think they're doing a great job. |

| I have loved the coverage. I like the buckle ceremony at Texas Live. I feel like I may get flamed for this, but I wouldn't mind if this continued and the NFR stayed in Texas. |

I agree, the NFR was born in Dallas Texas and I think it should just stay here in Texas. The Arena is so much better, the ground needs a little improvement for the barrel racers, but with all the Barrel Races thats held here I bet one of the ladys that puts them on would be more then happy to help with ground. I'm just so impressed that they even use a tractor with rake to smooth out around the barrels after so many runs, never ever seen this in Vagas. I love the sky cams, we get to see a birds eye view of some of the rounds, this is so cool. Texas is doing a wonderful job with the NFR..     |

LOL, YES!!!! I love that it comes on early, its starts up about 6:45 and that is GREAT, A lot of times I would miss it because I would fall asleep waiting for it to come on when in Vegas. And I love it here since they have the buckle ceremony after the rodeo and thats fun to watch, when NFR is in Vegas never seen the Buckle ceremony, they would just do a rerun of the NFR. Good Job Cowboy Channel     |

Yes, totally agree. At Vegas, they had a sign with the contestant's name kind of over the roping boxes so that you would know who was roping or steer wrestling which helped a lot. But yes, I would like to know who the contestants are. Sometimes I have to roll it back just to find out who the contestant is. |

        Location: SE KS | Love it, for putting a production of this magnitude together in 90 days, with the restrictions on top of that as a daily moving target. Kudos to the Cowboy Channel (that is all that we watch anymore) , PRCA, WPRA, The Texas rangers, state of TX.... I don't miss those wrangler commercials.... don't miss alot of those commercials... Yes, some things may be missing, you know what, we will all survive , this event could not have even happened. THe annoiuncers say the name of the contestant. I hope in 5 years when Vegas's contract is up - that Arlington will go for it.... They could fill those stands, to 100% capcacity and I think the area (state) could come up with the add $$$$. appreciate what we do have folks,,,,, it could not of even happend. I'm for one I'm thanksful..... it has been my bubble for the 10 days away from politics, and the world events. This is somewhat back to normal. Y'all have a good day ! Enjoy every night of the finals..

I don't watch much TV. One channel is NOT worth 100.00 in my opinion, thats just crazy!! Edit to ask, do you have any cable or satellite TV at all? I have Dish, the Cowboy Channel and RFD TV they both were in the package we got with Dish among all the other channels we have with this service.
