They aren't doing that great with all of the channel switching either. CW O'reilly and the Fox Trucks are doing much better in their respective areas.

Channel switching isn’t an issue for other sports.

The issue is the cup races are mostly boring with this new car, this playoff format is not generating interest and is polarizing traditional fans, and USA.

it boggles me my mind that you think Verstant is dictating they keep some form of a playoff when it hasnt worked and then you stick the product on USA Network which no offense many people dont have over the age of like 25. (I'm 40, I love me some USA Network).

There’s no point in keeping the postseason. There’s nothing to lose at this point.
 
Part of me wonders if NASCAR going from NBC Sports to USA Sports is a result of NASCAR dropping the current playoff format.

I mean, with the winner-take-all finale gone, NBC doesn't actually have anything except maybe the Southern 500 which has been watered down significantly by being the first race in the playoffs.

FOX has the Daytona 500, the Clash, the All Star Race, and the Throwback Race. Amazon has the Coca-Cola 600. TNT has the In-Season Tournament and the Brickyard 400.

Chaos? That's a bit dramatic. The article says there are external boxes for $90, a one-time charge. I guess that may seem steep to over-the-air users but it's barely one month's cable or Intranet bill.

People are bitching about having to buy $15 streaming sticks. This is gonna go over about as well as a glass of unsweet tea in the south.

It's entertainment, not a necessity. They'll get by.

But I suspect each broadcast station's advertisers will have something to say about it. They won't pay the same rates if their ads are reaching far fewer people. Might be worth it to a station to subsidize the cost somehow.
