In some parts of America, the west is in fact still quite wild, and cowboys still practice their trade on the plains, prairies, and valleys. Luckily, there’s a channel dedicated to this noble profession in The Cowboy Channel.
There are quite a few channels aimed at country western culture and lifestyle, but few ever go beyond ever highlighting real-life heroes of the west. The Cowboy Channel features actual cowboys, who wrangle cattle, herd sheep, and lasso bulls. It’s one of the only games in town if you’re looking to stream Western sporting events like the Calgary Stampede and the National Finals Rodeo.
