I say lower the blinds to 50/100/200 no ante.

I think playing more within the players bankrolls will allow for much more action. Players would be more likely to make moves and bluffs.

PLO wouldn't work. It would be AI every hand with alot of hands being chopped due to multiple runnings.

OP's suggestions 1 and 3 are good though.

I'd like to see the stack sizes of players during hands. Since not all hands are aired, the stack size of a player jumps up and down between two aired hands and when someone bets, you don't know if it's 1/10th of his stack or half his stack.

Graphically, it could be easily done, just show a number below or above the hole cards.

That wouldn't be an issue as long as the players are deep-stacked. In fact, the blinds should be lowered to 200/400 (no ante), since PLO pots tend to be bigger than NLHE at the same stakes.

With deep stacks and the pot-limit restriction, there should be plenty of room for play.

PLO is a naturally exciting game, and there won't be a need for bounties or terrible players to keep the game action-packed.

The only impediment is this: Will the audience be overwhelmed by the number of cards?

Make them play PLO but show in TV only the two cards that play in a certain hand, if the hand goes to showdown. If the hand doesn't go to showdown, show two random cards from players' hand. Should be fun.
