While you see OGN or MBC air like hour long games with no commercials, that would just not fly on US TV (referring to going great lengths of time without any commercials). Yeah, this country sucks in that regard.  | ||

Isn't there any TV station owned by the people? In Sweden we got two channels that everyone who has a TV pays a little for. These are totaly free from commercial and political interferences. It's really great. Same goes for radio channels. | ||

While you see OGN or MBC air like hour long games with no commercials, that would just not fly on US TV. well there are lots of reasons. bad management/ aiming too high too fast means there is sort of a bad track record for comercialised e-sports. Then you have a pretty strong resistance against esports in the older generation. On top of this, there are very few games that most gamers will like to watch/support (I can really only think of cs 1.6), and if its not one of those games, viewers will be apathetic. so the only way to get it on tv is to either dumb it down and try and fit it into a 30 minute timeslot, or put it on a specialty tv channel (that few will subscribe too - since a lot of viewers right now are young and not in charge of their own finances, and so requesting a e-sports channel might not be met well) | ||
