I've never been much into sports, but I think this idea could catch on. Simply put: a cable channel devoted exclusively to cheerleaders. Hardly any attention is given to them. When watching a broadcast of a football or basketball game the camera usually pans on them for a few seconds, then poof!,gone. Then the camera goes back to the game-which it should-or it focuses in on one of the coaches, a section of the audience, or players on the bench (yawn). Don't cheerleaders deserve more recognition for the attention they draw to the game? Their training is rigorous and time consuming and yet their pay isn't commensurate with what the coaches and players are paid.Aren't they also considered to be an integral part of these games? Don't they lead the audience in a mad cacaphony of joy when the game is going well for their team? Aren't they also responsible for drumming up support when the team isn't doing so well? And finally, they're athletes,too. They have to be fit, healthy, and in shape. Give cheerleaders in professional and college sports the professional recognition they deserve!

It certainly worked in Dallas.
I guess you're joking right. This would be like a soft porn channel kinda thing yes?
One could start selling DVD's just with cheerleaders. Sold on the internet they should make a fortune (remember "car stuck girls"?) But I don't think there is enough people interested for a TV channel.
I would prefer "Girls Gone Wild" to a cheerleader channel. Almost the same thing.
I'd be happy to give them the recognition they deserve.
I pay very close attention to cheerleaders at half-time.
Actually, I see worse examples of TV every day. You might consider producing a "reality" show, in which a cheerleading squad is chosen from a group of wannabes: a dozen teams of 13 members each vies for 12 cheerleading positions. Each week, for 12 weeks, a member of each team is eliminated, leaving the final 12 cheerleaders. The winning cheerleading squad would make guest appearances at NBA, NFL, NBL athletic events for the next year.
