YEAR IN REVIEW

NFR: Flagship event of the year, hosted at Globe Life Field (GLF) in Arlington, Texas, for the first time. The Cowboy Channel (TCC), PRCA on TCC Plus and RFD-TV aired the 10-day Finals live from GLF each night with East and West Coast prime time encores airing the next day. Expanded coverage of the NFR occurred every day from 2 p.m. through 12:30 a.m., on TCC, PRCA on the TCC Plus and RFD-TV. Coverage included an NFR pre- show, NFR opening ceremony and NFR post-show for 10 straight evenings. Featured four livestream feeds - a TV feed, arena feed, Spanish feed and Portuguese feed.

PRCA on CC+: 200+ hours of live and on-demand coverage of PRCA rodeo competition including the RAM Circuit Finals Rodeos, PRORODEO Tour rodeos plus the PRORODEO Tour Finale and the Wrangler NFR both domestically and internationally.

Media: PRORODEO ® now has over 50 million viewers, thanks to the PRCA’s partnership with Rural Media Group, airing PRORODEO content live on two national TV networks, TCC and RFD-TV. The PRCA’s previous contract with CBS Sports Network only drew in 12 million viewers and the PRCA paid for production. In 2020, TV viewership was up 458% and digital livestreams were up 20%. PRCA programming included live coverage of the PRORODEO TOUR, the PRCA’s Xtreme Bulls Tour events and a weekly studio show, PRORODEO ® Tonight, a channel 100% committed to the sport of PRORODEO and the PRCA.
