TV channels devoted to gaming?

Gaming, by console or online or on handhelds is big business. Spot On: Tuning in to what's on in South Korea, Japan - News at GameSpot: "For now, game-focused TV from the Far East will find its way West through Web casts, illegal bootleg recordings, and niche cable channels. But as the popularity of gaming competitions continues, and the acceptance of Asian pop-culture grows stronger, TV viewers and gamers around the globe may not have to wait too much longer for the arrival of Asia's video game TV revolution--on major networks, and smack in the middle of a prime time schedule." Well, it's funny how there can be things you just didn't know about. These gaming networks and how popular they are in Korea. Will the US go in this direction? More from Korea Times.
