Kroenke submitted a takeover bid for the hunting, fishing and shooting channel after the Outdoor Network already had agreed to a merger agreement with New York-based InterMedia Outdoors Holdings LLC. It controls the Sportsman Channel and publishes more than a dozen outdoor magazines.
Outdoor Channel says it terminated its InterMedia agreement before accepting Kroenke’s offer.
