Hey, I was wondering what different channels Paintball matches come on TV.  I really never watch anything besides the metal channel, lol.  But could someone tell me, and what times they usually come on because I'd like to watch something that I wasn't participating in.

players really need to grow up before the sport will be taken seriously on TV.

Are You Ready For Some Paintball? Hollywood�s secret passion � paintball � is in line to become the basis of some special reality programming by **edited** Clark and producer Beaux Carson. It may sound a bit boring to some but the sport has become a favorite among Filmland folks including George Clooney and Will Smith who both have their own teams. Jack Osbourne, Everlast and B-Real from Cypress Hill play. Even the casts of "ER" and "Scrubs" have reportedly had matches � at least if one of their players gets hurt, the rest of the cast can pretend to help them. Other celebs have been using paintball as a fundraising tool. Last year, director Penny Marshall who pushes the paint with her grandson put together an event in L.A. to helps at-risk kids, and paintball aficionado William Shatner has his third charitable tourney coming up Labor Day weekend.

Although Hollywood�s connection to the sport furthered Clark and Carson�s interests, Carson says the idea came about when he was looking for a new reality TV idea and a 13-year-old Midwestern kid that he knows brought paintball to his attention. Now the two mega producers are aiming to bring celebrity paintball tournaments � for the worthiest of causes, of course � to TV.

quite the piece their man^^

i saw the 2003 WC's on OLN like 2 months ago, its really good coverage compared to peoples own, personal cameras.  They have those cameras on the zip lines across the field, to give, whole field action.  They also give split screen coverage and count of the players left, its really great to see this happening for paintball on t.v!!!
