Hi Peter
I agree with you that tv exposure would generate intrest in all forms of cricket, including county cricket, ot A team cricket. yes the highlights could be earlier, not sure I agree with you about rowing though, it's an individual sort of sport, like mountaineering, I doubt anyone would watch it.

A minority sports tv channel, could I think cover things like bowling, which it already shows, lesser cricket, and maybe Baseball, and the like.
The BBC in paticular has a lot of minority channels for junk, I am sure they could spare one of these.

Peter I live 6 miles north of you, and my son lives and works in Wigan, you have put in your location,Wigan Lancashire,are you not now Greater Manchester, I know that is where most of your council tax money goes, I think since the boundry changes, my town is the most Southern town in Lancashire.

We used to be classed as central Lancashire.
