How do you fill it with 24 hours of programming?

Sounds like they will be partnering with teams from different parts of the country in different sports.

I said this in the other Cubs Channel thread and I am just going to paste it here...

"I'm unfamiliar with the Yankees and Dodgers network programming so please forgive my ignorance.

However, if my favorite team has its own channel that is all things my favorite team - past, present and future... that is awesome.

Forget the carrying soccer, other sports, etc. during the offseason to cover air time. Give me my team's old school features, minor league games, interviews, documentaries and old MLB games reran in their entirety - 24/7.

I understand there could be some copyright and licensing issues that might need to be ironed out but so be it. Make it happen.

I'm an old school type fan who enjoys the history of my favorite team just as much as the present and future.

If I subscribe to a network that is all things my favorite team and I have to endure infomercials and other useless "air filling" programming - keep it. Cable prices are crazy enough."

Cubs channel? I dunno, might not work.
Cubs and Gonzaga channel? CHA. CHING.

I enjoyed this:
Quote:
Kenney also defended the motives of the Ricketts family in supporting opponents of Tunney in the 44th ward — which includes Wrigley Field — stating he used the forum in response to emails asking why they’re opposed to him.

“It seems like we’re always on the other end of the spectrum with this guy,” Kenney said of Tunney. “When we talk about building a park (Gallagher Way), he talks about it being a nightmare. Why are we so far apart? Why can’t we find any common ground with this guy?”

You can't even bond over his delicious cinnamon rolls?

I'd really like them to show some minor league games as well. Doesn't have to be a full production, do it most Thursday nights, which are typically getaway day games for the big league club. Three cameras and a PBP guy. There's got to be a college basketball guy working for Compass or Learfield that wouldn't suck at baseball PBP.

Hope they screw it up like their free agent signings, and it flops.
