GET INTO NEW HAMPSHIRE'S GREAT OUTDOORS ON WILDLIFE JOURNAL TV SERIES

CONCORD, N.H. -- Come face-to-face with wild things; meet fascinating
outdoor experts; and explore New Hampshire's most remote and pristine
places when the award-winning Wildlife Journal television series kicks
off its fourth season Thursday, October 6, 2005 @ 9 p.m. The popular
series, co-produced by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and
New Hampshire Public Television (NHPTV), is part of NHPTV's new Thursday
night local programming line-up.

In this season's Wildlife Journal episodes, viewers will visit New
Hampshire's great trout streams, follow the Connecticut River through
the heart of the Granite State and learn about loons, black bears,
woodcocks, and more! Cameras capture animals in the wild and transport
viewers to remote and ruggedly beautiful places across the state. Hosts
Willem Lange and Lisa Densmore introduce viewers to fascinating people
and local experts -- all deeply connected to the natural world through
wildlife research, fishing, hunting and other outdoor pursuits. Each
half-hour program includes two top features and a Wild Ways and a Wild
Places segment. Wild Ways offers "how-to" tips on a variety of outdoor
activities. Wild Places features areas of scenic or recreational
interest in the Granite State.

"We have spectacular natural resources in New Hampshire," said Jon
Charpentier, educational and broadcast media manager for the New
Hampshire Fish and Game Department and executive producer of the
program. "Wildlife Journal brings it all together, helping viewers
across New England explore and understand our wildlife heritage and what
it means to our quality of life."

Peter Frid, NHPTV's General Manager and CEO. "The program's spotlight on
the state's wildlife and beautiful outdoor spaces is a favorite with our
