In the interest of growing the game in non-traditional markets, would it be a worthwhile idea to produce a single game broadcast completely designed for new/learning viewers?
I wonder how much the game could benefit from a network doing this once a season or so, and cater to the audience that might be more interested in our sport if they weren't as ignorant about it.
As it stands, typically a non-traditional market needs to start having playoff success, if not an outright championship to start getting people to take notice, at which point you start seeing fans begin learning the game. I may be speaking in ignorance, but I feel as though that's the case in places like Raleigh and Nashville, and part of the reason Atlanta never panned out.
I don't imagine it would be prohibitive to produce such a broadcast, and I truly think it might be the simplest way to have a tangible growth in the sport.
This also could be the dumbest idea ever, but I'm curious to see what people think of this, or reasons it hasn't been done already.
