NBCSN is shutting down after this year. Live sports go to USA Network when not on NBC main.

Probably bad news for IMSA and also Indycar since there will be less air time available.
Could be an opportunity as well. Cable TV has been discussed to be dying since early 2010's and I am surprised this has not happened sooner. Live sports can be found on streaming packages from the leagues now. TV "news" is all propaganda now. So the fact that millions still pay high cable tv subscriptions is crazy. ESPN is all propaganda now. Thank goodness for ESPN+ where you can bypass that.

NBCSN IMSA coverage is almost irrelevant. IMSA Radio crew though has the infrastructure in place to allow IMSA to go the paid subscription streaming route themselves. IMSA Radio (Radio show Limited) already covers all the races, support series, and weathertech series practice and qualfying sessions. Also they do preview, review, and interview segments. Just do a lot of that with the camera now. Especially the practice sessions. Could also give us the cool live timing and scoring stuff now too. Also with a subscription service you should have the ability to watch race replays with no commentary at all. John, jeremy and Shea are great for first and second viewing. But if you had the ability to remove commentary then the races could re-watched 3rd, 4th, etc times. MLB.TV by the way has that option to watch games with now commentary on their web site based service.
