Commercial television in the United States is predominantly designed for
imbeciles, so we're out of luck there. Public television is your best bet
(remember Shelby Lyman on PBS during Fischer-Spassky 1972?), but I wouldn't
count on it.  After Kasparov-Deep Blue, I don't think the general public regards
him as the world champion any more.
