New season of Outdoor Channel's 'Wardens' starts Jan. 26
Another season of the Outdoor Channel’s “Wardens” – featuring the Michigan DNR – begins Jan. 26. It’s a unique opportunity for a closer look at how our dedicated conservation officers, biologists, foresters, park employees and many others work to conserve, protect and manage Michigan’s natural and cultural resources.
This year’s episodes take viewers to locations across the state, including a walleye patrol on the Detroit River, the Becoming an Outdoors Woman program in the Upper Peninsula and a charity event hosted by Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow at the Bald Mountain Shooting Range in Lake Orion. Check out a sneak peek of the season's first episode, "Firearm Season Whitetails & BOW."
The DNR initially partnered with the Outdoor Channel on production of the television show in 2016. “Wardens” viewership via the Outdoor Channel in 2023 was over 2 million households.
Since the show began featuring the Michigan DNR:
Total viewership is more than 36.6 million households.
78 episodes have aired over 1,000 times.
“Wardens” continues to be available Sunday mornings on WLUC FOX UP TV6.
Previous episodes have been repackaged on basic cable as “Wardens of the North” and “Michigan Wardens” on Animal Planet.
Outdoor Channel is accessible via cable and mobile platforms including MyOutdoorTV and Amazon Prime Video.
Episodes appearing on Animal Planet made an immediate public impact. The DNR doesn’t have ratings information but reports that public feedback was noticeable.
Commercial spots within the show feature recruiting opportunities for new officers and promote accessible recreation opportunities at Michigan state parks, hunting areas, beaches, fishing piers, historic sites and other destinations.
