During the 2004-5 NHL hockey lockout, ESPN looked for other things to broadcast. They decided to show the World Series of Poker. Thus began a whole new form of entertainment and a whole new industry.

People found other things to be interested in. Hockey is still trying to recover. ESPN gave up its hockey contract and the NHL is now broadast on Versus. What? I don't even know if i GET Versus.

What will replace written TV? If this lasts any length of time, the people will find alternatives. The last time the writers went on strike there was no public Internet. Hmmm.
