During the previous NHL lockout the NHL ran content 24/7 without ever mentioning the lockout, not even offering updates on the negotiations. They just ran talk shows and rebroadcasts of old games. An IOC channel presents so many problems that I would be surprised if it ever gets off the ground. For example, if it is to be only one channel, which language will it be in?What is the incentive for any cable/satellite company to add it to its lineup, especially if it means dropping another channel? The NFL did get all of this started, not with the NFL Network, but with NFL Films. They started to build an archive of games, documentaries, and interviews and it made some sense to put together a channel to air that material and have talk shows based around the season and draft. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
