The one form of entertainment on television where they can be 99% sure they are, is live sporting events. Hence the boom in TV contracts. Sports are the one thing that I always want to see as it happens. "I'll catch it later" is never an option.

Very true.
Advertising during TV shows...I don't even consider. But there's a reason why you get "Call of Duty Black Ops 2" ads during the NBA Playoffs every year. Sports are a mandated live viewing event.
