GET INTO NEW HAMPSHIRE'S GREAT OUTDOORS ON WILDLIFE JOURNAL TV SERIES
        Fourth Season Premieres Thursday, October 6 @ 9 p.m.

CONCORD, N.H. -- Come face-to-face with wild things; meet fascinating 
outdoor experts; and explore New Hampshire's most remote and pristine 
places when the award-winning Wildlife Journal television series kicks 
off its fourth season Thursday, October 6, 2005 @ 9 p.m. The popular 
series, co-produced by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and New 
Hampshire Public Television (NHPTV), is part of NHPTV's new Thursday 
night local programming line-up.

In this season's Wildlife Journal episodes, viewers will visit New 
Hampshire's great trout streams, follow the Connecticut River through the 
heart of the Granite State and learn about loons, black bears, 
woodcocks, and more! Cameras capture animals in the wild and transport viewers 
to remote and ruggedly beautiful places across the state. Hosts Willem 
Lange and Lisa Densmore introduce viewers to fascinating people and 
local experts -- all deeply connected to the natural world through wildlife 
research, fishing, hunting and other outdoor pursuits. Each half-hour 
program includes two top features and a Wild Ways and a Wild Places 
segment. Wild Ways offers "how-to" tips on a variety of outdoor activities. 
Wild Places features areas of scenic or recreational interest in the 
Granite State.

"We have spectacular natural resources in New Hampshire," said Jon 
Charpentier, educational and broadcast media manager for the New Hampshire 
Fish and Game Department and executive producer of the program. 
"Wildlife Journal brings it all together, helping viewers across New England 
explore and understand our wildlife heritage and what it means to our 
quality of life." 

"We're delighted to offer a fourth season of Wildlife Journal," said 
Peter Frid, NHPTV's General Manager and CEO. "The program's spotlight on 
the state's wildlife and beautiful outdoor spaces is a favorite with 
our viewers. And we're pleased that professional and peer organizations 
continue to honor our work, including four regional Emmy Awards."
