Pursuit Channel is an American television network that airs programming geared to hunting, fishing, shooting and outdoor recreation. It is based in Glenwood, Alabama and was launched on April 23, 2008.

Pursuit is available to over 45 million cable and satellite homes and customers, along with web and digital media player availability.[http://www.pursuitchannel.com/News.aspx?id=784] {{Dead link|date=June 2011}} The network's schedule mainly is made up of brokered programming purchased in blocks by producers of outdoor programming, or by companies advertising their products as part of the sponsorship of those programs.

In January 2013, Anthem Sports & Entertainment purchased what was described as a "significant ownership stake" in Pursuit Media.{{Cite web |url=https://anthemse.com/who-we-are/ |title=Anthem Sports & Entertainment | WHO WE ARE |access-date=2019-01-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190115083122/https://anthemse.com/who-we-are/ |archive-date=2019-01-15 |url-status=dead }}{{cite web|url=https://www.ammoland.com/2013/01/pursuit-channel-welcomes-anthem-media-group/|title=Pursuit Channel Welcomes Anthem Media Group|date=10 January 2013|website=AmmoLand.com|access-date=1 April 2019}} Beginning January 11, 2019, Anthem's professional wrestling property, Impact Wrestling began airing its weekly television series on Pursuit.{{cite news|url=https://www.thewrap.com/impact-wrestling-moves-from-pop-tv-to-pursuit-channel/|title=Impact Wrestling Finds New US TV Home: WWE Competitor Leaves Pop for Pursuit Channel|last=Maglio|first=Tony|date=21 December 2018|work=TheWrap|access-date=30 December 2018}} After Anthem acquired a controlling interest in AXS TV on September 9, 2019,{{cite news |last1=Nature |first1=Heel By |title=Anthem Media Purchases Majority Interest In AXS TV, Impact Wrestling Moving To Network |url=https://heelbynature.com/wrestling-news/impact-wrestling/anthem-media-purchases-majority-interest-in-axs-tv-impact-wrestling-moving-to-network/ |access-date=9 September 2019 |work=Wrestling News - Latest WWE, AEW, NJPW Pro Wrestling News {{!}} HeelByNature.com}} Impact! was later announced to be moving to AXS on Tuesday nights beginning in October of that year.{{Cite web|url=http://www.axs.tv/featured/impact-moves-to-axstv/|title=IMPACT Wrestling Announces Move to AXS TV {{!}} AXS TV|language=en-US|access-date=2019-09-12}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/impact-wrestling-move-tuesdays-axs-130042604.html|title=Impact Wrestling to Move to Tuesdays on AXS TV – Find the Premiere Date Here|website=www.yahoo.com|language=en-US|access-date=2019-09-24}}
