@HoneyBadger, on second thought, if I had one property all to myself (17 races) vs. one I shared with three other partners (with 14 races, down from 18 in the past), I'd probably give the shared one less attention too. That's back on NASCAR again for how it divvies up the pie.

Good point. Fox got shut out of the latest Nascar deal because Amazon ridiculously over paid and Nascar took the money. I posted above another big deal Fox lost. These are a bunch cut throat weasels with no loyalty to anybody. We the people are going to end up paying more so excuse me if I'm not enthused by either cable or streaming. I barely watch any TV for the value I pay as it is.
NBC with their playoff crap they are forcing down our throats, in comparison to Fox shortcomings, I don't care how many pixels and gimmicks NBC has. When NBC de-legitimizes the sport I care for and doesn't listen to the hard core fans I just don't care. Casuals can ooh and aah about the smoke and mirrors, I ain't buying it.

YouTube TV is not traditional cable TV. It’s a live TV streaming service that delivers channels over the internet, requiring a subscription and a compatible device like a smart TV, phone, or computer. Unlike cable, it doesn’t rely on physical infrastructure like coaxial cables or satellite dishes, and it offers flexibility to watch on-demand or live without a long-term contract. However, it functions similarly to cable by providing a bundle of live channels, including local networks, sports, and entertainment, often at a lower cost.

Hulu Live TV is a streaming service, not traditional cable TV.

However, it mimics cable by providing a bundle of live channels, including local networks, sports, and entertainment, often at a competitive price.

It's like cable TV without the box or the cable attached to it.

And yet somehow, without a cable contract or box, with no antenna, I'll watch all three races this weekend (ARCA, not Trucks). If I'm not watching them over the 'streaming services' I'm paying for individually, how am I doing it?

Illegal stream, cheated up Roku or Firestick.

If I want it, I pay for it. If I don't want to pay for it, I don't watch it.

Stealing is stealing, regardless of whether it's a physical asset or intellectual property, regardless of whether one thinks the item is overpriced or of little value, regardless of whether the competitors' products are cheaper or free, regardless of whether one thinks one can get away with it.

The illegal streams aren't technically illegal, more of a grey area. I have no issues using them when my team is playing on Apple tv. I already pay to watch them on their RSN why should I have to pay more?
