WFN: World Fishing Network Goes Green From April 20-26 to Reinforce the Three 'R's' of Environmentalism

TORONTO, April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- In conjunction with Earth Day 2009, WFN: World Fishing Network North America's only 24-hour fishing lifestyle network will reinforce the three "R's" of environmental stewardship -- React-Replenish-Release as it dedicates the week to the environment, even turning its logo and graphics online and on-air green from April 20-26.

Hosted by Emmanuel Belliveau, previously the host of World's Greenest Homes on Discovery Channel, the campaign focuses upon such critical issues as: fish population; species in peril; green organizations; success stories; green gear; emerging technologies. WFN hosts, professional anglers, celebrities and environmentalists present the network's best episodes and features that highlight conservation and environmental practices.

To complement the on-air programming, the network is also providing extensive content online at www.wfn.tv/green including: additional videos, green tips, a forum for viewers to share stories, contests and educational information to let viewers know how they can make a difference. WFN will ask viewers and website visitors "what are you doing to be more green?" The responses will be posted online and will award one entry from the USA and one from Canada a $1000 shopping spree at their local fishing retailer.
