Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel

is one of the best and most useful program on television and has been for many years now. It consistently leaves you feeling as though the time spent watching it was time well spent.

I would suggest that they pay to broadcast an episode on network television as a means of advertising HBO programming. I assume they could trade-off standard advertising dollars from somewhere else to pay for it. Of course one could argue that both HBO and the networks would have a conflict of interest at that point, but I would suspect that would be the case in many of the advertising relationships for both parties.

Perhaps they could even include very limited commercials during the broadcast, but it would probably have to be limited to only a single break in order to retain the existing, uninterrupted flow of the program which is one of its benefits.
