I think SiriusXM NASCAR radio is more of an asset now to NASCAR and reaching the largest audience makes sense. I don't see NASCAR allowing the complete ownership of all online content again.

FOX has DW until that time.<br /><br />Some announcers, like Jerry Punch, find themselves with new opportunities when a sport changes channels. Jerry did football for years after NASCAR left ESPN.<br /><br />It should be interesting to watch the scramble if one of the big TV partners changes.Daly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-59405427507700294162011-11-10T21:02:03.973-05:002011-11-10T21:02:03.973-05:00Anon 8:54PM,

Ironically many of these people are probably eating lunch with one another today in Phoenix.<br /><br />A quick Web Search will prove that there is a Daly Planet for every sport, even Woman's Softball, usually run by a "retired" insider, and I can tell you first hand that the producers and directors up here in Bristol do obsess on these sites. Look at DeadSpin. But never the less "Imperfect" rating systems or not the Advertisers and more importantly the fans are there in significant numbers and NASCAR as with all sports will survive without the few who claim the will never watch again.

It doesn't happen all that often, so I can't see why they wouldn't. I know I would be more inclined to buy/use their products if they did this. <br /><br />What's VS up to regarding getting into the act? They could probably get a good deal on NW races. The way BSPN treats that series now, VS could do no worse. A high school A/V class could probably do a better job than BSPN.<br /><br />I wish fox wasn't so arrogant and would allow side by side commls. Can't nascar demand they do that?

And Mike said there was nothing they could do about it at that time. Doesn't look to me they did anything to address it in the current contract either.<br /><br />It would seem NASCAR just wants to maximize it's revenues however it can. It would be nice if they could specify a maximum number of commercial minutes in a race and then let the networks bid on the races on that basis.<br /><br />As little passing as there is in Formula 1, you still feel you have seen the race. And, I believe, part of that is the fewer number of commercials.Dennisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-5386506796442187692011-11-10T14:24:59.108-05:002011-11-10T14:24:59.108-05:00How do the Sprint Cup owners, drivers, crew chief,...How do the Sprint Cup owners, drivers, crew chief, etc. perceive the coverage by FOX and ESPN?scarletandmaizehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09943630200850777124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-741553274659516992011-11-10T14:08:35.919-05:002011-11-10T14:08:35.919-05:00MM and Sophia,
