Follow the money

If I may interject:

Try and discuss how to make the game TV friendly: TV brings money; money brings players.

The best example I've seen is the WSOB setup. Shorter matches (2/3 or 3/5 will compensate for the dice), tight time control, high stakes: TV needs drama.

Add the money and the players will come. More players will make all the other "issues" pretty much moot. Note how many top level players the BG world has lost to poker.
