That article is attempting to discredit ESPN in ways anyone who watches ESPN's coverage of NFL games would know is ridiculous. They aren't allowed interviews that interfere with the original broadcaster's rights there either, so being blocked from trackside interviews makes sense contractually. It's not a slight against ESPN but more likely included in the contract that DURING the event only the broadcaster (Fox or NBC for tv and MRN/PRN for radio) can do interviews. ESPN may not show as long a highlight package but it won't be kicked off of SportsCenter any time soon. And ESPN has to be more selective about what they bid on as they apparently are getting their budgets reviewed by Disney and it has been reflected in the number of both TV and radio personnel that have left for the competition.

NBC won't need to do anything but move some of the events to tape delay, and/or to cNBC which they already did with some F1 events this season. ND football will always remain on the OTA NBC station and for the Olympics they moved coverage around all of the NBC family.

The concerns about NBCSports not being high profile won't be as big a hurdle for them as some networks with Comcast being in the ownership group to increase its profile within their network. On others it could be tough, but it is already in the most common digital tier for most networks. It just needs some advertising which is much easier than getting the channel added or moved to a lower subscription tier.

As far as I've read, NHL is mostly ignored in SportsCenter.

Here in Latin America, SportsCenter and Central Fox are 90% football (especially Argentine / Mexican, Spanish, Italian and English), which both show live. So I can't tell if either ignores the sports broadcasted by their rivals.

Comcast/NBC is doing exactly what The Mouse did with ESPN2, put a bunch of big level NASCAR and other motorsport content on it to advance the overall standing of the channel.

NASCAR fans like Indycar or F1 fans are very persistent in contacting their Cable providers and demanding for the channels/tiers/costs. But, they outnumber them by a huge percentage in the U.S.

More Big League NASCAR on NBCSN: More homes and higher tiers for the Channel.

I would like a secondary audio of "track ambiance" including just cars, crowd and the track PA system. Ya know, like I was there at the race myself.

Atlanta, Texas, Las Vegas and Charlotte are very similar to each other. It's not like Monte Carlo, Sweden and Greece in WRC, or Monaco, Monza and Spa in F1, or Long Beach, Indianapolis and Barber in IndyCar.

By the way, who is this woman?

So Texas, Daytona, Pocono, Martinsville and Bristol aren't all as different as any 5 tracks in any other series? And that doesn't include two road courses. Not usually a NASCAR apologist but don't make claims that have no basis in truth. Listen to teams and any will tell you the difficulty in their building and/or tuning a car to be good at a certain track. And the tracks you list are similar in visual layout but have fairly different racing in practice, Texas and Vegas can be very similar but I wouldn't confuse a race at Atlanta or Charlotte with the other two.

They put on similar racing but that's where the similarities end.

Even if you built identical, down to science, ovals with one in say, Michigan, and one in Virginia, they would still over time become different due to different weathering patterns and bumps.

If there's any series with the 'same' driving for a bunch of tracks it's Indycar on flat out ovals (ie Fontana, Indy, Old Chicagoland, Texas with old aero)

That's what I thought it said too, and was VERY confused. If it really was Allen and Wally they'd almost look like brothers.

There's more Fox Sports news:

Quote:
NASCAR RaceDay and NASCAR Victory Lane - continue on FOX Sports 1 and the FOX family of networks

NASCAR Race Hub, continues on FOX Sports 1 in a new time slot -- 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday

FOX Sports signed a three-year deal with the MotoGP

FOX Sports 1 and the FOX family of networks continue to be the home for Monster Energy Supercross and the ARCA Racing Series.

Look for announcements in the near future, as FOX Sports 1 brings additional motor sports programming to America’s new sports network.

Fans can catch up with motor sports news as part of the new FOX Sports Live, the flagship news, opinion and highlights program

In addition to FOX Sports 1, additional motor sports and automotive programming will continue to be a part of the FOX family of networks daily lineup, including launch-weekend coverage of the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, Lucas Oil Motocross, MotoGP qualifying and the Rolex Sports Car Series
This means, some stuff will air on Fox Sports 2 (ex Fuel TV).

Cable providers still negotiating with Fox over Fox Sports 1: NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice sessions and the Camping World Truck Series race Aug. 17 from Michigan International Speedway will be among the live telecasts on the first day Fox Sports 1 goes on air in place of the Speed cable network. And that could be a problem. Among those still negotiating carriage fees with Fox Sports 1 are DirecTV, Dish and Time Warner Cable. Spokesmen for DirecTV and TWC said Thursday that discussions are ongoing and Dish also has not signed a deal, according to the SportsBusiness Daily. Speed is in nearly 86 million homes, but millions of its current subscribers won't be able to see Fox Sports 1 unless a carriage deal is finalized. According to the SportsBusiness Journal, Speed costs about 23 cents each month per subscriber, and Fox is looking to increase that to 80 cents per month. It's not surprising that these negotiations go down to the wire, but it's enough to make NASCAR fans nervous as the channel they know as Speed will cease to exist when Fox Sports 1 is launched in its place in about a week.(Sporting News)(8-9-2013)

One week to go. The clock is ticking, but there's still time for Fox to make a deal.

Nascar Cup races on NBC? Nationwide Series out of ESPN? You may not need to wait for 2014:

Quote:
ESPN and Turner executives told the series that they are interested in forgoing the final year of their contract. Fox and NBC executives told NASCAR that they are interested in picking up those rights. And sources say NASCAR executives are open to the switch.

The fact that these types of talks are occurring is precedent-setting in an industry where live sports rights are held sacred. For at least the past decade, no rights holder has exited a major media agreement with a property early.
