We need new owners

[Trov]

"We should start our own channel and bring everyone with us like the yes network for the Yankees."

This was attempted many years ago.  It flopped because they did not have the clout to force cable and satellite providers to be in basic packages.  At the time, Fox who owned the regional broadcasting area of FSN, forced the local cable to only allow Victory to be on a higher pay, or not carried at all, because they would have pull fox broadcasting not just FSN.  They tried to get gophers on board, but now they have big 10 network.  They did not get Wolves or Wild on board because no one could see Victory.  So it all failed.  Trying to start one up again at this point would be terrible situation.  It costs a lot of money to start this up, and broadcasting is in a strange era.  Most people are tying to cut cords, so cable is not willing to pay big for regional sports channels because not a ton of demand for it, as people are finding ways around it.  The team would be not likely to get Wolves or Wild to join in right now because their media rights would be too much for a small start up broadcasting channel to afford, unless they partnered with them, but right now Wolves do not even know who will be owning them soon. 

Point is, starting up a channel is not so easy and it was tried year ago and flopped terribly.
