VERSUS' THIRD SEASON OF CITY LIMITS FISHING WITH MIKE IACONELLI

VISITS SIX NEW CITIES IN SEARCH OF THE BEST URBAN FISHING IN AMERICA

NEW YORK, N.Y. (February 9, 2010)-VERSUS will debut the third season of City Limits Fishing with Mike Iaconelli on Friday, February 12, at 9 p.m. ET. The six-episode series, produced by Gannett Video Enterprises, follows host and professional angler Mike "Ike" Iaconelli as he uncovers some of the best urban places to fish throughout the United States.

In each episode of City Limits Fishing, Iaconelli, the 2006 Bass Angler of the Year and runner-up in the 2009 Bassmaster Classic, is accompanied by professional and amateur anglers as they face the weekly challenge of catching a limit of fish within the boundaries of some of the country's greatest cities,including Phoenix, Boston, Pittsburgh, Memphis, Milwaukee and Jacksonville.

"We are very excited to bring this unique show back to VERSUS for a third season," said Jeff Macaluso, Director of Field Sports & New Media Programming for VERSUS. "Mike Iaconelli is not only entertaining and outrageous, he's also an accomplished professional angler who lets viewers in on his unique tactics on how to catch fish in locations not frequently thought of as hotbeds for fishing."

The complete schedule for City Limits Fishing follows, all times 9 p.m. ET (schedule subject to change):
