3. Poll: Badminton on Cable/TV/Internet
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/clbp/surveys?id=12281353
Back in 2003 CLBP was extremely excited with the advent of the Tennis
Channel, due to its promised badminton programming. As a follow up to this, we
would like to know how many CLBP members get
The Tennis Channel and more to the point, how many have seen badminton
programming on the Tennis Channel?

In fact, has anyone see badminton coverage -- entire matches, not
clips or segments -- on any channel offered by broadcast, Comcast,
Dish Network, or Direct TV - or over the Internet?

o Have Tennis Channel and HAVE Seen Badminton Matches on it.
o Have Tennis Channel but NEVER seen Badminton Matches on it.
o Dont have Tennis Channel / Cant Get it.
o Have seen Badminton Matches on other TV/Cable channels in the last year.
o Have seen Badminton Matches on the Internet
o Have NEVER seen Badminton matches on TV/Cable/Internet
