INSP Sets Premiere Date for New Series "Into the Wild Frontier"

PRESS RELEASE VIA INSP:

INSP Sets Premiere Date for New Series

“Into the Wild Frontier”

The Latest Original Expedition 

and Exploration Docudrama will Debut on

Thursday, February 17th at 8PM ET

(Indian Land, SC – January 13, 2022) – General entertainment network INSP announced that it will premiere its latest historical docudrama series Into the Wild Frontier on Thursday, February 17th at 8PM ET. Doug Butts, EVP of Programming for INSP, made the announcement.

“As our ratings demonstrate, INSP viewers love action, adventure and exploration,” explained Butts. “Consequently, we’ve made it a priority to produce compelling original content that both entertains and informs. Into the Wild Frontier is a great example of that type of multi-dimensional programming. The series features riveting stories from some of America’s first pioneers – most of whom braved incredible dangers and extremely harsh conditions while exploring America’s Western frontier. Each episode combines substantial research with carefully crafted storytelling, and the result is an action-packed drama that we are confident our audiences will enjoy.”

With America’s expansion westward, the promise of new lands teeming with game and other riches provided an irresistible pull for frontiersmen like Daniel Boone, Jim Bridger, John Colter and others who were willing to risk it all in the spirit of adventure. As they push deeper into the wilderness, crossing vast mountain ranges, treacherous plains and unforgiving deserts, these fearless explorers faced starvation, deadly weather, ferocious predators and hostile Native Americans. These were true adventurers, whose epic tales of survival on America’s undeveloped frontier emboldened a tide of settlers to head west and become the stuff of myths and legends.

In addition to Boone, Bridger and Colter, the explorers and mountain men featured in season 1 of Into the Wild Frontier include Meriwether Lewis and William Clark (Lewis & Clark), Jedediah Smith, Tom Fitzpatrick, Jim Beckwourth, and Kit Carson.

The first season of Into the Wild Frontier, which will be comprised of eight episodes, will premiere on INSP on Thursday, February 17th at 8PM ET.
The series is produced for INSP by Warm Springs Productions.

My Take:

Although this is a docudrama and not the usual rom-com movie I typically promote, I thought many of you who visit here would be interested in checking out this series, especially those of you who are history buffs. It is fascinating to discover more in depth details on those individuals who developed the foundation of our American society, ordinary citizens who made their mark with their explorations and unique adventures.

In addition to this new series, Into the Wild Frontier, this year on INSP viewers can also look forward to the 2nd season of Wild West Chronicles and the 3rd season of the cowboy competition series, Ultimate Cowboy Showdown, hosted by country music icon Trace Adkins.

INSP recently rolled out a brand new logo (seen above), which features a strong text and a cowboy hat sitting proudly on top, clearly stating INSP is the leader in western entertainment.

Hope many of you will enjoy this new weekly series when it premieres in February.

Happy trails to you! Net

Actress JILL WAGNER to Host NEW INSP TV Series "Handcrafted America"!

"Handcrafted America" image courtesy: INSP

I was recently given the opportunity (Thank you Melissa at INSP!) to preview the very first episode of the All New INSP television series “Handcrafted America”, hosted by the energetic, bubbly actress Jill Wagner. All of you movie fans will recognize Jill from INSP’s Christmas in the Smokies and Hallmark Channel’s "Autumn Dreams".

As host, Jill Wagner passionately takes you on three separate journeys during each episode, visiting creative individuals who craft products by hand, we might all use in our life every day.

From the beginning of time, if a person wanted something, they had to work hard to either buy it or make it. Nothing was easily and often today cheaply mass-produced in factories as products are now available from your local store.

The craftsman featured in “Handcrafted America” will show you from design to conception how an individual quality product comes into being. The first episode will premiere on INSP, March 1st, 2016 at 8pm/7c. In this half hour, you will see the incredible detailed inner workings of a clock completely made by hand, the family history behind the creation of a chair which does not use any nails or glue, and a woman blacksmith who creates objects from wrought iron and steel.


Video Clip of "Handcrafted America":



It's a fascinating adventure to follow Jill Wagner and watch these individuals create something into being from pieces of scrap metal, wood, paper, etc... From their hands they can design useful products like our forefathers did. Depending on each object, the time to create these items typically takes longer than your average factory generated product, but the lasting quality is often much higher.

While “Handcrafted America” visits craftsman who create these designs today from a dream into being… it’s also a piece of our American history that we should all remember and treasure.

Mark your Calendars...

for the Premiere of “Handcrafted America”,

hosted by Jill Wagner on INSP,

Tuesday, March 1st, 2016 at 8pm/7c.
