Patrick Gottsch Dies: Founder Of The Cowboy Channel And RFD-TV Was 70
The maverick entrepreneur died on May 18 in Fort Worth, Texas.
Since Tuesday, The Cowboy Channel has been broadcasting a nightly 30-minute special on Gottsch’s life and career, with a one-hour telecast planned on Friday evening. Customer feedback on the lack of rural interest programming led him to start RFD-TV, which delivered six full hours of live news, markets, weather, and agribusiness features. He launched Rural Radio on Sirius XM and broke the Guinness World Record for largest Pick-Up Truck Parade at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2013.
