The Surf Channel coming to Directv

[Mr Tony]

I'm not making this up....Scott posted it in the Dish area and it looks like Directv will get it too
Another Sport Is About to Get Its Own Channel : TVBizwire : TVWeek - Television Industry news, TV ratings, analysis, celebrity event photos

Another sport will be getting its own channel within the next few weeks. From the founder of the Tennis Channel and the Ski Channel, next up is the Surf Channel
The channel will launch to 20 million households via distribution deals with Comcast, Cox Communications, DirecTV, Dish, Filmon.com and YouTube, with which it has a preferred channel partnership

At least its on demand so no bandwidth is wasted.
At least the article I read yesterday said that. The article in the link posted above doesn't mention on demand.

 

[Mr Tony]

I dont see where it says on demand. This will be an actual channel the way I read it

They should launch a kids channel for their popular games. Some sporty, some not. With programming that includes Hide & Seek, Kick the Can, Duck, Duck Goose, Jumping Rope, Hopscotch, and Dodge Ball. Board games can also be included in programming.
