Raw Travel TV Hits All Time High Audience Growth, Yet Again

NEW YORK, Dec. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- AIM Tell-A-Vision® Group (AIM TV) announced today that its internationally syndicated television series Raw Travel® recorded its most substantial audience full season figures to date for its just completed 6th season. With a still-growing affiliate list that includes 173 cities in 95% of U.S. TV households, the 2018-19 Season 6 of Raw Travel was the sixth straight year of both audience and distribution growth.

The producers further crowed that the soon to be completed calendar year of 2019 is on track to be Raw Travel's best year ever with +4% year to year total audience growth over calendar year 2018. Raw Travel's continued growth, as most shows face eroding audiences due to fragmentation, continues to surprise observers.

The recently launched Season 7 (2019-20) includes a roster of far-flung destinations including, China, Ethiopia, South Korea, Indonesia, Georgia (the country), Turkey, Ukraine, Lithuania, and more. Closer to home destinations in South America, the Caribbean, and the USA are also featured.

With outlets such as the former Travel Channel switching to "paranormal," Raw Travel has diversified to showcase a more extensive array of travel, such as Recreational Vehicles, Road Trips, Sailing Excursions, Solo Travel, Voluntourism, Ecotourism, and more.

"There is such an obvious void on U.S. television of authentic travel content," states Robert G. Rose, Executive Producer, and Host. "Cable seems to have lost its bearings, is floundering and frankly seems desperate. We believe this presents a great opportunity for Over the Air, Free Broadcast TV, assuming broadcasters answer the call," said Rose. "As cable continues to zig, we'll continue to zag, and as they continue to lose their audience, we'll continue to grow ours. If they are going to leave the entire niche up to us, we'll gladly serve it," Rose continued.

Also bucking current media trends, Raw Travel has continued to attract younger demographics to broadcast TV while growing traditional core demographics from lead-in programs all across the country. The fiercely independently produced show has ranked #1 or #2 in key demographics in time-slots in significant markets the past six seasons, even when up against network or large studio productions, showcasing viewers' appetites for authentic shows with socially relevant messaging.

Besides pay TV outlets in Europe, Asia, and Africa, several major commercial airlines and cruise ships have begun licensing the series, spreading the Raw Travel movement of socially conscious, authentic adventure travel to viewers in all corners of the globe.
