Paintball TV

[BTAutoMag]

Do you think that someone should make a cable channel just for paintball. comments?

[Dubstar112]

dont we all?...

[ProjectMag]

It'd be nice but won't happen.

[zvanut]

it would be great, but would require a lot of funding and stuff to keep on it like games, news, interviews, etc.

An actual channel dedicated to paintball would be difficult. I'd like to see a simple 30min-1hr show about tournament paintball on tv.

[Mega Man]

not a channel...

I agree with Blake_sw on the show, it would be much better, maybe like a channel dedicated to extreme/alternantive sports with 30 min. or hour segments over each sport and of course live coverage of tournaments aswell.

[BTAutoMag]

well if there was a channel instead of 30 min of air time then there could be like tapes of players playing just for fun, tech tip vidios, new gun showcases, and to raise money there could be like a drawing with a 5$ a raffle ticket fro a paintball gun. sound good

yea but BTautomag channels cost money... they would need huge amounts of money to get a cable channel for full time.... i agree with mag man and blake, paintball should start with 30 minute programs on tnt, fox sports or espn and it wouldnt even be on at close to primetime times.... if that got enough interest then they would have more shows but deffinitly not a channel until paintball grows. right now there are only about 2 million hardcore paintballers right now... thats a small audience for a cable channel...

just my 2cents =P

I think that paintball can get more exposure.
Don't know about an entire channel, but at least some regular airplay.
To start I think there needs to be a stronger league.
I am no tourney player, but from what I've been reading - the league needs to get it together.
Seems that tourney players need to sharpen their image a little bit too, but I can't say I've met many that I didn't like.
Prices need to drop a bit to get more people playing rec-ball. Particularly the price of paint. Get more rec-ball players out there and those same people will be more willing to sit and watch a televised tourney.
The sport is growing. And it'll all happen soon enough.

I wanna watch paintball!!!

[Flamebo]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Televised paintball is painful to watch.

This was already discussed... I think you will find some good answers in the following thread:

Enjoy.

also u can find the closest thing to paintball tv... www.pigtv.net it has video coverage of most major tournys

[magman68]

actually it would be easy to make a 24hour paintball show.you could set it up in the style such as espn.get all the info,about an hours worth,and repeat it also throwing in some tech tips,showcases,etc between the breaks.

Theres a channel on some satalite network that does have paintball regularly.........they have like 2-3 hours of games a week. I talked to a person who had it , it all had no name teams playin in tourneys with thier guns of FA.....pretty sad , but still paintball!
