| History of The Golf Channel
In 1991 media entrepreneur Joseph E. Gibbs of Birmingham, AL, had a hunch that enough interest existed among the public to support a 24-hour cable golf channel. After a Gallup Survey confirmed strong demand for a golf channel, Gibbs and golf legend Arnold Palmer co-founded The Golf Channel. Initial investors in The Golf Channel included a consortium of six multiple system cable operators (MSO's), including Continental Cablevision, Comcast Cable Communications, Newhouse Broadcasting, Cablevision Industries, Adelphia Communications, and Times Mirror Company. More than $80 million was secured to finance The Golf Channel's launch on January 17, 1995. The Golf Channel's first live televised tournament was the Dubai Desert Classic, which aired January 19-22, 1995.
