Super 7 on National Television

[raehl]

The real problem isn't really getting on TV..

Paintball can do that no problem.

The next big hurdle is getting corporate sponsors to sponsor/do ad buys for paintball TV shows. That'll be something to brag about, and that's when the networks will take us seriously, as it's all about the money.

As it stands, since we don't currently have corporate sponsors lining up to do ad buys in advance of producing shows, we gotta be quitehappy when someone does manage to get us on the tube in any quantity, as it is more or less a "donation" on the network's part (or the part of whoever is paying to put the show on.)

Just another piece of NPPL propoganda. 8 minutes of "we love dynasty" and not 10 seconds of how they really play in the amature league and not in x-ball.

Dye Guy, how did the Ironmen do when they played Dynasty at practice recently ?

Super 7 Paintball in 85 Million Homes... Again.

Last week millions of viewers from around the world tuned in to check out Paintball presented in a professional manner on Fox Sports Net. In the June 25th episode of Fusion TV, the NPPL Super 7 Huntington Beach event was presented to the world, this week it will be footage from the NPPL Super 7 Las Vegas event. Were you in Vegas for the stellar tournament this April? If so you may be viewed in 85 Million homes around the world this Wednesday.

The NPPL and Pure Promotions have been spending countless hours and dollars filming each event in their tour. “We have done what has not been accomplished before… good quality footage on a good quality show… and it’s on the right network” commented Ged Green of Pure Promotions. Pure has been out filming each of the NPPL Super 7 events; they produced the HB DVD, are releasing Vegas and Chicago DVDs next month and are now bringing the NPPL Super 7 to not just National Television, but Worldwide.

“It is a major piece of work – going out on a major TV station to 85 million homes introducing paintball Super 7 style to people who would otherwise not see it at all” explained Bart Walkerdine, Director of Pure Promotion’s Operations. He went on to add “it is not aimed at existing tournament players but at potential new players and potential new viewers, and should be reviewed as such”.

Fusion TV had its pick of the litter when choosing which sports to feature in its show, and Pure Promotions made sure that Paintball was one of those sports. Referring to the 85 Million homes Fox Sports Net reaches, Green added “The numbers are there. This is a positive step forward”.

When asked what point he wanted most to get across to the industry, Green stated “The success of this airing is in everyone’s best interests. Consider this a 5 to 7 minute advert for paintball every week on Primetime TV. The right images are being presented to the masses; quality has gone out in the homes”.

1--absolutely true, and if I sounded less than enthusiastic, it was only cause I was talkin' to existing players who are always hungry for more paintball.
2--that's what I said, sorta.

All good

Saw the second episode yesterday. No longer than the first one but better in the sense it communicated more about paintball to the uninitiated as well as some of the excitement.
