....gee, it's kinda like what'll happen in Richmond in 2009.
When the R-Braves aren't at the Diamond in April, May, then June.....will the casual fan really be torn as to what to do with all that "spare evening time" in July that in previous years was spent in Section 108?
So I ask, do you REALLY think everyone from the "TV Cattle Call" audience is going to come blindly back to watch their favorite shows once the Writers Strike ends?
Heck, when's it gonna end???
Click here for an article over in the UK. I suspected this would happen all along, especially with the generation behind me. No new shows on CBS? No problem, let's create our own show and put it on You Tube!
P.S.---One commenter disagrees with me and says the return of "Lost" on ABC tomorrow night will debunk the theory that "some viewers will never come back".
They may get good numbers, but remember, the once golden-boy of TV, American Idol, with absolutely NO original competition, STILL LOST four million viewers in its first week in 2008 versus 2007. About 15 percent of the audience. Not far from that 21 percent mentioned on the link above.

BREAKING NEWS SHOCKER!!!!----Richmond to lose Braves
Well.....I guess this is what happens when you (pardon my French) fart around as a city and a region as a whole!
All the talk about a new stadium and all the talk about downtown and all the talk about more regional cooperation and now that there is actually SOME entertainment development on the Boulevard (multiplex cinema) that doesn't charge 25 cents a peep:
The Braves have had enough. Click HERE for the initial reports.
Between all the stadium bickering, the fall of waterlog, forcing the R-Braves to play home playoff games on the road, and the less than stellar attendance recently (though that point is EVERYONE'S fault), the Braves sat down in Atlanta over lunch, and decided, "We're the only major league team that owns their Triple-A franchise. Why put up with this anymore? Let's move them close to us, bring baseball more economically to some suburbs and market it as their "stars of tomorrow" who can catch a cab to the big leagues!
Everyone in Atlanta is a winner!
Then there's Richmond. Enough said.
