‘Raw Travel’s 11th Season Expands To 97% Of U.S.

AIM Tell-A-Vision Group (AIM TV), producers of the travel show Raw Travel, announced today that beginning this weekend, the show will broadcast in an all-time high of 184 U.S. cities representing 97% of the country on more than 250 television stations.

Four new cities were added for Raw Travel’s Season 11: Abilene, Texas (on KRBC); Boise, Idaho (KIVI); Mankato, Minn. (KEYC); and Watertown, N.Y. (WNYF).

In addition, there are switched affiliations in five cities: Philadelphia, which is moving to WPSG; Dallas, moving to KDAF; Tulsa, Okla., moving to KTUL; Shreveport, La., moving to KMSS; and Medford, Ore., moving to KTVL.

Also new in Season 11, Raw Travel will feature content from the show’s library of 200-plus episodes. Many stations will be airing up to two unique weekly episodes. Additionally, the producers have announced plans to continue to produce a limited number of unique “one-off” original episodes, which will circulate into the library’s carriage.

Robert G. Rose, executive producer and host of the series, said: “We are so grateful to have had such a long run thriving with additional growth for eleven straight seasons. We’re very excited at the opportunity to curate our library and create blocks of travel programming for stations and viewers.”

Rose added: “Today, if ‘content is King” then ‘curation is Queen.’ We’re fortunate to have King and Queen together at once. Our soon-to-re-launch digital efforts will supplement the viewing experience, and we’re working on some exciting originals that we think will bring even more value to the eco-system of the inexplicably underserved travel genre in the U.S.”
