A Fort Worth-based TV channel is hosting a weeklong marathon tribute to its hometown this week.
RIDE TV will host “Fort Worth Week” through Friday. “Fort Worth Week’s” programming will include a new documentary about the Fort Worth Stockyards, the best of Stockyards rodeos, Fort Worth episodes of the travel series “It’s My Backyard,” bull riding, cutting horse competitions, mustang makeovers, and stories about Fort Worth artists, merchants, and local residents who are making a difference.
One of those businesses, Z’s Café, is among those featured. Teaming up with United Way, Z’s Café created the volunteer project called Feed the Fort. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Feed the Fort has been able to feed thousands of Fort Worth-area residents daily.
“We are thrilled that RIDE TV has created 'Fort Worth Week' to spread the word across America about our great city, and to help our local businesses and charities to succeed during these challenging times,” Mayor Betsy Price said in a statement.
“Fort Worth Week” is sponsored by DISH, which carries RIDE TV nationally on channel 248.
