When ESPN first came on the air, I was thinking to myself, "Self, how are they going to fill 24 hours a day with nothing but sports?" Well, obviously they did. Hey they now have multiple ESPN channels to cover all the sports.
Then when "The Weather Channel" came along, I could envision some very boring telecasts talking aobut whether or not the weatherperson was correct that day. But they are still broadcasting.
With shows like "American Picker", "American Hogger", "Redneck Island", etc; coming on to a cable network and staying around more then a few weeks, there is obviously a market for such stuff.
Many years ago there was a "Slot Car Mega Center" called "Mini Wheels". That might be a great name for a show on TV about slot cars. Let's be honest, I'm sure there would be viewership around and perhaps some benefits would be that manufacturers of slot cars and parts would advertise. It might also get the word out.
If some media savvy person got into this, I can just see the "Friday Night Races From . . . . " where they have the turn marshals dressed up in attire similar to the "Hooters" gals. Might get some pretty stiff ratings! :banana-rock:
