Anyone think that the fact that IMSA doesn't have a set TV lineup is the reason why Audi of America, and even Audi AG and Audi Sport themselves have been reluctant to sign of on the ALMS program for 2011. The fact that IMSA didn't announce a TV schedule at PLM and Audi's announcment that the ALMS program is now unlikely to happen just prior doesn't just seem to be coincidence if one's a conspiracy theorist, though it might be true--both Audi and Peugeot have complained to the ACO about Eurosport's poor coverage, and Audi favored the ALMS in the past over the LMS in part because of the TV package that the ALMS had with Speed in North America and Motos TV in Europe.
