Controversy

The channel stirred controversy upon launch in the United Kingdom on July 31, 2017, where Kroenke owns part the Premier League team Arsenal for it's showing of "blood sports". The channel was condemned by British animal rights groups. My Outdoor TV defended its programming "MOTV will present ethical, fair chase hunting and as long as it's legal it will be on there." "If you like hunting elephants, there will be legal elephant hunts, ethical elephant hunts, shown in that context."[3] There were calls to boycott the Arsenal club over the channel's content.[4]
