Rogue Country TV Operations

Help Launch the Fall/Winter Season of Rogue Country TV

Rogue Country TV is America’s only viewer-supported music television network dedicated to the rebel roots of country—Americana, Outlaw Country, Alt-Country, Red Dirt, and Southern Rock. We film where the sound is born—honky-tonks, neighborhood stages, back-road festivals, and rolling tour buses—capturing unfiltered stories of the artists, venues, and communities that keep American roots culture alive.

This Operations Fundraiser powers our Fall/Winter 2025 season under EcoCouture Alliance (a 501(c)(3) public charity; Rogue Country TV is a DBA). Your gift funds the production backbone—so we can film, edit, and release new episodes; scale livestreams; and expand distribution to OTT platforms in the months ahead.

Why This Matters

Most music TV is ad-driven or paywalled. Rogue Country TV is different: audience-powered and story-first. Independence lets us champion working artists, real venues, local scenes—and the places you can actually visit. Our current hubs: Shasta County, CA; Klamath County, OR; Tulsa & Oklahoma City, OK; with Nashville/Tennessee features and Las Vegas (NFR) coverage queued up.

Fall/Winter Goal: $150,000

Your donation directly equips and moves our crews, keeps lights on in three hubs, and covers licensing so we can legally share the music you love.
