    Yes it would. It would be piss easy to be honest. I wouldn't follow it but with a semi competent creative team it would be reasonably easy/cost effective to create enough content to fill some air.

    For reference look at copa90 the youtube channel...

    Not at all mate, our home and away following is second to none, but to make a TV channel viable would take a wider audience. I'm not so sure we have that kind of 'pull' yet.

    You'd start off digitally. You most definitely wouldn't start off on TV.

    The stream I watch my games on occasionally has a MU, Liverpool Chelsea TVs. Occasionally watched them out of boredom but they end up like party political broadcasts praising themselves. I doubt if our history can compare with what they have to show.

    Exactly Nostalgic. The success of any t.v. station depends on the quality of viewing material. Clubs like Man. C., Arsenal, Man. U., Chelsea (usually) Liverpool, and maybe 'Spurs have a product that is a pleasure to watch - and a wider global interest - because they're winning. But local and wide-spread fans aren't going to pay to watch their favourite team get beat again and again - it's depressing. And that's where Sunderland are right now. Build a success story on the field and then think about selling it to a wider audience.

    Really?

    Take out the last decade. Chelsea tv would be deader than maggie thatchers stinking piss flaps.

    On holiday in Bali last year did the mandatory market trog and was offered the usual replica shirts, not a Sunderland one in sight. The seller looked puzzled when I gave him the name of the team I wanted. Any available in your part of the world, don't want one just out of interest.

    Agreed. Between 2003 and 2015, Chelsea have been more successful than in the previous 98 years. Before 2003, i doubt that Chelsea T.V. would have worked either.
