But, one of my bigger complaints about the IFL has been their lackluster approach to the TV aspect of their marketing. Maybe I am being overly harsh, but their house shows on MyTV and FSN have not been all that impressive by way of production values and time alloted.

It would help the IFL if they found a strong time slot in the week during primetime. Give the show two hours to display the product properly. And, they need to get off of MyTV and other lesser cable networks. They need to get their product on a single TV station that has a history of sports and a larger audience. (Ted Turner? TBS? TNT?)
Ted Turner are you listening!? seems like more his style to buy an already established organization and pump money into marketing it.
