ExerciseTV (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The first and second paragraphs of the "History" section reads like something taken directly from marketing materials, and 10 seconds worth of research confirms this. The entire "History" section was taken directly from promotional materials for Exercise TV. All three paragraphs, in their entirety, can be found on ExerciseTV's Facebook page (see [1]). For that matter, the opening section is only a very slightly modified version of the first paragraph of the history section. The entire article is blatant plagiarism at worst, and at the very least is just very un-encyclopedic in tone. As this page is of debatable notability and at the moment is just plagiarized from promotional materials that are available elsewhere, I think the page should probably be deleted unless someone is willing to step up and take over this article.
