Dallas, TX (PRWeb) January 10, 2007 -- Gold Buckle Network™ (www.goldbucklenetwork.com), The New Way To Access The West™, is celebrating its two-year anniversary while setting record highs in members, visitors, media titles, and viewing time. December 2006 was the most active month in GBN history, culminating in a member base of more than 40,000 with monthly site visitors totaling more than 400,000, an online library of 1,000 video and audio titles, and 750 hours of media streamed to Western fans worldwide.

The highlights keep coming in 2007 when Western fans can watch more episodes of "The Lone Ranger" and "Roy Rogers" as well as "Bonanza", "Judge Roy Bean", "Annie Oakley" and "Kit Carson", which are coming soon to the Gold Buckle Network library. Music lovers can continue to listen to thousands of songs from artists like Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, and Pat Green while for the first time on Gold Buckle Network hear hits from the Oak Ridge Boys, Kathleen Edwards, Neal McCoy and other outstanding musicians, all in high-quality digital streaming audio and video.
