The real fly in the ointment, besides the impracticality of  
convincing hundreds of TV stations to sign on to the idea, might be  
their contract with TMS.  If it demands exclusivity we may be out of  
luck.

I suspect the terms of these contracts are closely guarded, so  
finding this out might be tricky.
