Not everyone plans to attend this year’s Pennsylvania Farm Show.
Luckily, the Pennsylvania Cable Network is broadcasting portions of the 2022 Farm Show, including sheep to shawl competition, rodeo, sales of champions, cooking demonstrations and draft horse hitched and feed scurry.
The non-profit cable network has been covering Farm Show week for more than 25 years since Larry Kasper, now a senior producer, first covered the 1994 horse pulls.
“People liked what we did,” he told PennLive in 2012. “PCN brings a camera, takes the lens cap off and lets the event flow to the viewers. Instead of using one camera at some events, we use five cameras and a wireless camera on the floor. When we get close to the large animals, it adds an exclamation point to our coverage.”
The station is based in Hampden Township and has bureaus in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. PCN has never received state or federal funding.
Its coverage airs on cable and is also available for streaming. A full PCN Farm Show schedule can be found on the network’s website.
