About AFG

Public television stations all over the United States have been producing educational, informative, and entertaining content for decades. The challenge that many stations have faced is how to provide the public easy access to this valuable material after it has been aired. Produced by Oregon Public Broadcasting, American Field Guide offers a solution. Recasting outdoors programming content from nearly 30 stations across the country in a convenient, on-demand format, American Field Guide offers the public a unique and valuable online experience 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Joining highly produced video segments with useful web components, American Field Guide is a uniquely dynamic source of information on the American outdoors. By offering video content on the web, American Field Guide offers viewers the opportunity to continue their experience in a wide variety of ways. One may explore a particular topic further, or watch a favorite episode again. Either way, through American Field Guide, TV and online experiences mutually enhance one another.

This is the first project supported by PBS to bring together material from the vast resources of local member stations and synthesize it into a single entity with the power to educate, inform, and entertain.
