Martial Arts TV Channel

[phlaw]

Has anyone ever tried to launch a Martial Arts 24hr TV channel??

I would think it could be a cool channel featuring all Martial Arts movies, TV series and competition.

With the millions of MA practitioners in the US alone, you wonder why that is such an untapped market. I think it would do very well.

Even a regular program on ESPN, or Discovery would be great. Didn't Discovery say they were going to have one? I can't seem to ever find it.

Actually there is a group of Martial Artist gathering this project together.

Look here

I already signed up to get the letter when the service is available for my area of the country.

I am skeptical that it won't be all about the $$$$. Come on - Billy Blanks is going to be a regular contributor.

 

[Enson]

you know to me it really doesn't matter who contributes. as long as we have somewhere to spend time watching martial arts. buying dvds gets expensive.

peace

i would actually pay for this channel...well as long as it was resonable...but still...if they can have a channel completly dedicated to video games they can have one dedicated to MA :whip:

A couple of years ago, there was talk of another martial arts channel (I think it was called Black Belt TV). They had a website and all that, but nothing more came of it. I hope this pans out, but I'll believe it when my system offers it.

I found this site today.

So I hope this works, I would love to see old episodes of

Sidekicks, The Raven, The Master etc...

I think that they are still trying to get it off. A few years ago they did a tape of GM George Dillman, I have one of the copies. I do hope they get the show up and running as it would be good to get a variety of people doing different show on there

Scheduled to be relased in may of 2003....um??? what year is it...i guess it was cancelled or post poned

I think this would be really good! Though, in all honesty, I'd much rather see shows more in the style of the Discovery channel or TLC (informative) rather than movies/series (entertainment). Get people's knowledge levels up instead of feeding them more "hollywood"

I agree totally.

I definately agree, although I must admit that some martial law and walker texas ranger reruns woulden't hurt.....

A 24-hour network would even have time to go "old school" and dig up episodes of The Green Hornet and a few Mr. Moto movies.
Blast it, now my hopes are up!
