"Golf Channel: Orlando-based network in the swing of things"

The Orlando Sentinel's Laura Newberry looks at the Golf Channel's expansion from 180 staffers to nearly 500 "Central Floridians" working out of 119,000 square feet of offices and studios. And there is the post-NBC merger mission of the channel that bodes well for its once uncertain future. This was interesting:

But the channel rebounded last year with record viewership, noted Mike McCarley, Golf Channel's president, an indication, he said, that its growth hadn't been permanently hampered by Woods' sudden and high-profile fall from grace.

Woods appeared in 10 events on the Golf Channel last year, the network said, compared with 17 appearances in 2009.

"As this engine that can drive the growth of golf, we have a very real responsibility to the game to make sure we're focused on the bigger picture," McCarley said. "You can't focus on any one tour or any one player or any one event too much."

Does that mean we can cut back on the Tavistock Cup coverage?
