The NXL™ is announcing that it has partnered with Dick Clark Productions, Inc (DCP) to bring the NXL™, and paintball, to network television.

DCP has agreed to work with the NXL™ to develop the next major league sports sensation for television. A senior spokesperson at DCP said, “the NXL™ got the ‘green light’ because the structure, format, and excitement of the NXL™ will make our paintball productions very popular”.

Bill and Adam Gardner of Gardner and Gardner Productions and Smart Parts, have been instrumental in interfacing with several major producers for a paintball-based movie and celebrity challenge-series. Bill has indicated that paintball is “on the radar screen” in Hollywood and goes on to state, “Mr. Clark and his team are very enthusiastic about the long term prospects for paintball on television”.

The goal of the partnership will be to bring paintball to network television featuring the NXL™ and growing game of X Ball™ in a true league format like other major league sports. Over the next few months, the NXL™ will work closely with DCP to tailor the presentation of the League and the game for the networks. Exact airdates and financial commitments will not be available until well after the development phase is complete.

More details will be released as they become available. For more information about the NXL™ or the game of X Ball™, contact Mike Ratko, Commissioner, at 514 337 1779, ext. 209 or via email at info@nxlpaintball.com.
