.. so G4TechTV in the US is going to run televised videogame hockey instead.
'G4techTV video game hockey highlights will also air on Comcast SportsNet. "We'd rather be televising the live games, but until the real games resume, this presents a fun opportunity to maintain the fans' interest," comments Jack Williams, President and CEO of Comcast SportsNet. "This is a natural and creative extension of G4techTV's video game expertise."'
It doesn't say who's playing, and I'd love to see the audience figures for this after the event. Games as a spectator sport? It's already working in Korea, and in trickles here and there with the World Cyber Games etc, but I think this one's quite a push...
It'd be a much bigger deal if this was on a general sports channel, rather than a channel that's already "plugged into every dimension of games, gear, gadgets and gigabytes." How long till that happens...?
