\u00a0RAW TRAVEL\u2019S SEASON 4 DEBUTS IN 93% OF U.S. THIS WEEKEND <\/strong><\/p>\n

– Four Straight Years of Rapid Growth for Authentic Adventure Travel Series –\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

NEW YORK, NY: \u00a0September 28th<\/sup>, 2016 – AIM Tell-A-Vision\u00ae Group (AIM TV) <\/em><\/strong>announced today that its syndicated television series Raw Travel\u00ae<\/em><\/strong> will debut its 4th<\/sup> season this weekend in 159 cities, including 97 of the largest 100 U.S. markets. With an affiliate list that represents 105 Million and 93% of all U.S. TV homes,<\/strong> the season 4 (2016-17) debut represents the fourth straight year of record setting growth for the proudly independent adventure travel show.<\/p>\n

Coming off its 3rd<\/sup> season where Raw Travel lengthened its lead as the #1 most watched authentic travel series in the U.S., <\/strong>season 4 will debut in an additional 15 new cities from Toledo<\/strong> to San Angelo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Season 4 will also feature several upgraded time slots in major markets such as New York City <\/strong>(WNYW-Fox & WWOR-My), Philadelphia <\/strong>(WPHL-My) Cleveland <\/strong>(WOIO-CBS & WUAB-My), Seattle <\/strong>(KING-NBC & KONG-IND) Baltimore (<\/strong>WBFF-Fox & WUTB-My), and San Diego <\/strong>(XETV-CW). In Memphis<\/strong> the show is set to air on powerhouse WMC-NBC 5 Sundays @ 11 PM, which should help insure Raw Travel\u2019s industry defying trajectory of audience growth.<\/p>\n

Raw Travel surpassed 1 million weekly viewers<\/strong> on more than one occasion in Season 3, setting a high-water mark for the series that it expects to break in Season 4.<\/p>\n

Globally, more international viewers are getting a taste of Raw Travel with outlets in Europe, Asia, Africa <\/strong>and many other key territories, which includes several major airlines that are licensing the series and helping spread the Raw Travel movement of socially conscious, authentic adventure travel.<\/p>\n

One of the highlight episodes of Season 4 is \u201cCuba Undercover\u201d<\/strong> which encompassed a covert journey to the island nation with a dismal record for journalistic freedoms. The producers posed as everyday tourists to give viewers a more authentic look at Cuba\u2019s people, culture and burgeoning tourism now that the U.S. has eased decades old travel restrictions.<\/p>\n

The producers also traveled to Haiti <\/strong>for an unflinching look at how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) may be contributing to Haiti\u2019s dependence and reveal the darker side of the so-called \u201cbusiness of poverty\u201d.\u00a0 Simultaneously Raw Travel showcases how socially conscious tourism can help provide a much needed \u201chand up\u201d rather than \u201chand out\u201d for Haitians.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\u201cRaw Travel\u2019s mantra of empathy and giving back is a reflection of a collective consciousness and mindset of a growing number of people. Raw Travel has a part to play in this large scale social movement and we\u2019re humbled by the opportunity,\u201d states Robert G. Rose, Executive Producer and Host<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Raw Travel is jointly distributed by AIM TV and Bright-Line Distribution<\/strong>. More information can be found at www.RawTravel.tv <\/a>and viewers can visit www.RawTravel.tv\/wheretowatch <\/a>for a complete listing of cities, affiliates and time slots in the U.S. for Season 4.<\/p>\n
