WHAT: Outdoor Channel (NASDAQ:OUTD), America's leader in
outdoor TV, today announced the much anticipated
winners of the 10th Annual Golden Moose Awards at a
ceremony held last night during the National Shooting
Sports Foundation's (NSSF) annual Shooting, Hunting,
Outdoor Trade Show and Conference (SHOT Show) in Las
Vegas.

An outdoor industry favorite, the Golden Moose Awards
honors the talent, production teams, graphics and
design teams and hosts behind Outdoor Channel's best-
in-class programming. Outdoor Channel handed out 20
honors at this year's ceremony, including several "Fan
Favorites" determined by over 15,000 viewers voting
online at www.OutdoorChannel.com during a four-week
period.

WHERE: Approximately 2,000 outdoor industry leaders, TV
personalities, media personnel and lucky fans attended
the awards ceremony at the famed Hard Rock Hotel &
Casino Las Vegas.

WHO: The celebration was hosted by Michael Waddell of Outdoor
Channel's "Bone Collector" and "Realtree Road Trips,"
and featured a spirited rock music performance by Ted
Nugent from the network's "Spirit of the Wild" program.

The Golden Moose Awards was sponsored by Budweiser, the
great American lager. Together with the National Fish and
Wildlife Foundation, Budweiser selects nominees for the
Budweiser 2010 Conservationist of the Year award presented
at the event. This year's "Bud Conservationist" recipient
