O' on TV
Getting O' on TV is not going to be easy. There is a lot of competition for a little time. The sport isn't well understood. While it could be quite interetsing to watch, it probably isn't cheap and easy to make interesting.
The Swedish O' Federation is experimenting with using the web to provide video coverage (streaming video using "realplayer"). Eventually, the Swedish federation hopes to have a weekly show.
It seems like a good idea. You could provide video relatively cheaply. It'd be widely available even if the audience is narrow. It might be something USOF could experiment with.
