If anything, the value per minute of sports programming should be up relative to overall programming, as people are much more likely to watch sports live as opposed to other programming. It's the sitcoms and reality TV that are most impacted by the TIVO craze (in which I'm happy to participate).

Sports programming won't go away - but expect to see more and more advertising injected directly into the broadcast, rather than in traditional commercials. That means superimposed images, more quick spots by the announcers, etc. Pretty soon we'll probably have "This travel brought to you by Coca-Cola!"
