How's THIS for a cable-TV channel idea?

With the possible exception of the Discovery Channel, there has yet to be seen any semblance of a cable-TV channel as can be considered to be "natural" or "organic." By that, I mean a channel whose programming does not necessarily rely on tacky or gimmicky scripts or formulae, that can be whatever it wants to be (or at least tries to), cf. the British curiosa video series "Open Spaces." Yet featuring by necessity the use of a compere as could host various segments in lieu of the programming as would be so featured. The concept I have in mind: THE WISCONSIN DELLS CHANNEL. 24/7 during the summer months especially (extending especially from May until the Wo-Zha-Wa weekend), featuring plenty of Wisconsin Dells and nothing but. Especially when done up in the style of those nature videos as close the occasional broadcast of "CBS Sunday Morning" to kill time by and large. Interspersed with the likes of "interesting people" interview segments from the likes of The Broadway and the waterparks especially, plus some commentary and interviews with any VIP types as may cross paths with the Dells region--all interspersed with choice music. Yet at the same time avoiding the impression that such is nothing but one giant infomercial of the worst sort by adopting a free-flowing, all- natural, all-organic style of programming. That is to say, a style as avoids tacky scripting or equally tacky conventions as can be fodder for the ilk of MST3K, yet still gushes forth with "Wisconsin Dells" throughout. (Or, put simply, essentially avoiding that "Wisconsin Dells Entertainment Network" formula as can be found on cable channel 12 in the Dells region through the summer.) How you may think of the idea, I know not. I will, however, leave it here for possible dellscussion and debate as to its merits. Or want thereof, for that matter. -- Sincerely, KAHUNA ACCIDENTALE OF THE DELLS (N.B. Spammers beware: ALLE VOORBEELDE GEDEEL MET DIE BEHOORLIKE KANALE!!)
