It would fail miserably. Most non-cubers have no idea what's going on.
Potential for cubing to be on TV?

If this is the general feeling of the community I think it's time to quit and become a pro poker player.

They could also interview competitors, and talk up close with some of the people. it doesn't HAVE to be just filming the people solving.
However, to get any of this done, we would have to CONTACT people!
Get things rolling.

ESPN did a special on Drum Corp. ( which I'm pretty sure very few people even cared for) so why not speedcubing?

If Starcraft 2 isn't on ESPN, speedcubing definitely isn't.
I see two main problems:
1: The cube is very hard to market, it is already engrained in everyone's mind that it's impossible for them.
2: No one knows how to do it in the grand scheme, spelling is on ESPN because everyone knows how to do it and knows something about it .

yes
but cubing is cooler
I reckon people would just watch it once, then get bored, unless people keep inventing cool new puzzles or events

I started this project about a month ago. I am in contact with some people, and hopefully I can make something happen.
What I can tell you know is that this has gone from more than an idea, and is now in the stage of pursuing leads, and trying to secure a deal. But there will probably be no additional work on this until August 29. At 9:30 AM... Eastern Time.

I doubt that speedcubing would be a very popular sport to watch on tele. It would be cool if they have juggling on TV though.

I was on TV a few times with cubing
Once I sent them a mail and they just invited me over, and the second time I got the NR single at the Israeli Championship 2011...
I hate the fact that they always try to make a nerd out of you...
They ask questions like: So you just sit at home every day and solve the whole day? You dont do anything else like sports, meet with friends or such?
and on the first time i was there i was about 12 and i said "also..." and he just didnt let me talk
and the second time i just said that i do it in my free time
