Ratings blah blah, any business person knows that repeat business if the best business. Keep the customers happy and they'll come back for more. Even if it hurts you a little in the short term.
It's a rare occurence that something like yesterday happens. The ratings are (it would seem) better if you run the races as close to 6pm as possible (although i don't know if that works as well with the current TV deal, given that neither network has a 6pm news service)
