    Hello Everyone,

    PLEASE watch/record the World Championships being televised by ESPN 2.

    The higher the ratings, the more likely we can get more badminton on TV here in the U.S.

    Come on everyone, we have to get better ratings than DARTS!!
    (Although, I do like throwing darts and drinking beer)

    ESPN 2 Monday Sept. 12 Women's Doubles 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm
    ESPN 2 Monday Sept. 12 Mixed Doubles 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm
    ESPN 2 Monday Sept. 12 Men's Doubles 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm
    ESPN 2 Monday Sept. 19 Women's Singles 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm
    ESPN 2 Monday Sept. 19 Men's Singles 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm

    I am not certain about the events, but the dates and times come from the espn website.

    Awwww... I really enjoy watching darts, but then again, I'm in a darts league. :D

    I'm really looking forward to seeing the WCs on TV though.

    Oh, they are showing all the matches, good for them..

    Hmm, this is just my personal opinion..
    couldn't they set a better day and time...Maybe a prime time network(CBS, NBC or ABC) where everybody can watch it, not just those cable subscribers??..Don't know if any kids are already in school or not?? plus they're on Mondays...Are the times all EST or PST or CST??..
    Hmm, noticed the MD game is only slated for 1 hour, did the actual match itself lasted more than that??don't quite remember, not including the award ceremony..

    I guess if we can't watch it then, there's always DVD or VCR to record it.. :rolleyes:

    One step at a time

    Those major stations won't put somthing on unless they know that they can make some money. :crying:

    Lets PROVE that it will! ;)

    I believe these times are PST. I am guessing they will be edited showings and not the entire times.

    Don't you have to be in some kind of viewer program to get your viewing of something registered and to give ratings? Because here that is the case.
