So it only took Fox until their last race to get it right?I thought last night's presentation was the best of the season. Good camera shots and the booth was good.
If you care enough to notice I suppose.Was Jamie McMurray only doing Xfinity races for CW while Fox had Cup? Seems odd to switch announcers, even with fill-ins, almost halfway into the season.
Downford is a parody account.Hey, Fox, you wanna cut costs? Stop wasting money on having your pre-race commentators hang out in the infield. Leave them in the studio and send them home once the race starts. Oh, and save the production costs on those snarky scripted segments.
I thought you Fox Sports haters would get a kick out of it. He did spread it around and got the gerbils involved also lol.Hey, Fox, you wanna cut costs?

This isn't a zero-sum game. If NASCAR isn't getting equal treatment with Fox's other properties, it isn't solely because the network has a second motorsports contract. You might as well blame the NFL, MLB, and whatever else they carry.FOX now has even more incentive to continue to relegate NASCAR to second and third tier programming.

Examples, please.The issue is that FOX has prioritized INDYCAR and now has more incentive to do so.
Examples, please.
I'm not cheerleading Fox's coverage of NASCAR. I agree it's slipped over the decades and needs a lot of work, and that NASCAR ipartly to blame. But I strongly question whether the problems are due to having IndyCar in the portfolio. That 'prioritizing' doesn't seem to have affected their NFL or MLB coverage. If Fox is withholding resources from NASCAR coverage, I don't see how it means those resources are by default being used for IndyCar.
Do you not know that streaming companies offer Fox sports also? Cable/Dish companies offer streaming channels?Oh, and NASCAR signed a contract prioritizing cable over broadcast and streaming. Their massive ratings decline this year is a result of that.

Then would you why they're not streaming services? I just know I can't get Hulu and YouTube and Peacock and the CW app on a local Spectrum 'wired service with a set-top box'. I pull them over an Internet connection using a streaming device.Those "streaming companies" you speak of ARE CABLE TV. "Hulu Live" is CABLE TV. DIRECTV Stream and YouTube TV ARE CABLE TV.
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?Trucks are exclusively on cable. Xfinity is on CW (OTA and cable only). Cup is exclusively on cable.
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.For $80/month or more.
You keep saying this over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over like it changes anything, but it doesn't. Those "streaming companies" you speak of ARE CABLE TV. "Hulu Live" is CABLE TV. DIRECTV Stream and YouTube TV ARE CABLE TV.
In order to watch the majority of the races, you have to have CABLE TV. FOX and NBC moved almost the entirety of their schedules TO CABLE TV when they paid NASCAR. NASCAR on NBC remains the only NBC Sports property exclusive to CABLE TV.
And with WB Discovery splitting, and Discovery taking TNT, we might see five more races be exclusive to CABLE TV.
Cable TV is dead. Which is why Amazon Prime had more viewers online than TNT had on cable, and why races that were on FOX and NBC last year are seeing double digit declines on FS1 and TNT.
You're such a shill for FOX that you'll dismiss all of this though because you want every race on FS1.
