Well, I don't think the market's large enough, but once satellite TV
becomes more widespread and can offer the same channels globally, there
might be enough demand. That is, unless everyone starts getting fiber
installed into their homes...and I doubt that'll happen for a while.
Only problem is, there aren't a lot of videos for dance music in general.
Maybe they could just show abstract patterns to the music or have DJs
play sets and intersperce them with interviews and videos. Let's go bug
Viacom or Warner Communications about it...:)
