RAW TRAVEL'S SEASON 14 (2026-27) IS A "FIRM GO"

Renewals in 93% of U.S. Markets Secure Show's Legacy

NEW YORK, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AIM Tell-A-Vision® Group (AIM TV), producers of the nation's most-watched travel show on commercial TV, Raw Travel TV, announced that the series has been renewed in over 180 cities representing 93% of the United States giving it "firm go" status for Season 14 (2026-27). The show is expected to match its current clearance level of 188 markets and 97% of U.S. homes by its Season 14 premiere on September 19-20, 2026.

Season 14 will continue to leverage Raw Travel's extensive 200-episode library, which spans eleven seasons of original and evergreen content. Season 14 will now feature more recent content from Seasons 6 through 11, and the producers will be continuing to provide two weekly episodes for affiliates seeking hour-long blocks of the show or offer multiple runs.

While linear broadcast TV faces a general downward trend, Raw Travel has largely been able to buck the curve, consistently serving as a high-value addition to weekend news and sports lineups. In many major markets, the show has proven its ability to increase lead-in viewership and win competitive time slots across key demographics.

"Despite—or perhaps because of—the many issues facing our world today, the interest in international travel remains high," said Robert G. Rose, Executive Producer and Host of the series. "People are beginning to realize how we are all connected, regardless of geography. Whether it be war, climate change, or geopolitics, authentic, factual and journalistically sound storytelling is needed more than ever."

Rose emphasized the show's commitment to substance over status: "The travel genre remains underrepresented on U.S. TV and streaming, with most content focused on celebrity rather than travel. We will continue to champion independent travel journalism with travel as the star—not a celebrity. We will continue to look for the slivers of light in the sometimes woefully dark corners of the world, and promote empathetic, thoughtful, and authentic travel," Rose continued.

Since its 2013 debut, Raw Travel has been a pioneer in reporting on destinations before they became focal points of world history, such as Haiti, Cuba, Hong Kong, Hungary, or Ukraine. Throughout its history, the show has raised awareness and funds for numerous grassroots non-profits and non-governmental organizations. By promoting earth stewardship, sustainable and authentically real travel, Raw Travel has maintained its crown as the most-watched authentic travel show on commercial television.
