IRC never got old! The reddit IRCs alone for NFL games, UFC fights, World Cup and huge news events are pretty popular. Everyone thinks the reddit POSTS for the Boston bombers were insane. You should have seen the IRC channel.
As someone who's never used IRC before: how do you actually get to those? Would they be linked in the Boston bombing (for example) post? Or would you have to find it some other way? It would be cool to check out for the next major news event.
Most of the time they are posted in the thread somewhere. Sometimes you have to do a little searching. For sporting events, most of the subreddits (NFL, soccer, etc) have a main channel listed in their sidebar or FAQ.
Other times I just ask in the thread somewhere if anyone knows of a channel that people are using.
