Patrick was a pioneer and legend in the Western world . . . he dedicated his life to building a 24-hour rural television network and multimedia company . . . beyond his remarkable career, Patrick was a loving husband, father, and grandfather.
Celebrating a pioneer of rural broadcasting, champion of American agriculture and family man.
We are remembering his enduring legacy and contributions to the farming, ranching and rodeo community.
The Rural Communications Act 2018 is now being considered by both Houses of Congress. This act will mandate that one percent every cable company’s channel capacity be reserved for rural programming, to be carried in their most basic, lowest-priced tier. Please act now, to help ensure that we will always have rural content available on television in our homes.
