We'll still be relying on replays coming back from commercial anyway. <br /><br />I'm still not sure this is as much of a gain as most people think it is. I've watched it in IndyCar for years, and it really doesn't add much. After the novelty wore off, I didn't pay attention to it anyway.<br /><br />This would be different if it was like TNT does at the Daytona race. That keeps me focused on the screen. I doubt this will for long...earl06noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-60727552456972129782011-05-17T11:22:52.490-04:002011-05-17T11:22:52.490-04:00"This new generation of NASCAR fan does not w..."This new generation of NASCAR fan does not want "play interrupted" for a commercial.

The NFL, MLB, and NHL actually work with the TV broadcasters to ensure they are back from commercial before play resumes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-11500928112243160672011-05-17T10:37:56.853-04:002011-05-17T10:37:56.853-04:00Welp, BIIIG announcement from BSPN this morn.

I do usually leave the set on but with the sound muted.<br /><br />I was completely shocked when the side by side commercial came on since we've kept hearing how "the sponsors don't like it". Well, do they like the fact that most of the time, I walk away from the TV set knowing I have 4 or 5 minutes to put laundry in or do some other chore?<br /><br />big difference - I didn't leave during the side by side commercial.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-74038527380085803262011-05-17T08:22:56.742-04:002011-05-17T08:22:56.742-04:00I think the DVR will make the networks have to use...I think the DVR will make the networks have to use the side by side commercials to give the advertisers value for their money. I think the advertisers will ultimately decide that they would rather share the screen with the race action than have their commercials be skipped over with a DVR and missed completely.<br /><br />The side by side would also make the viewers more likely to watch the race live because there would be little to gain by watching it delayed.OSBORNKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265276174788619591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-1068223912644793212011-05-17T01:17:08.306-04:002011-05-17T01:17:08.306-04:00I hope that they do it in the future.

As stated, when commercials come on folks channel surf to see a bit of whatever is on the other channel, go potty/make another sandwich, etc.<br /><br />Generally with commercials I'll catch up on Twitter. When the split screen came on I'm all "WHOA". At first I thought they had done it earlier & had missed it with my multi-tasking but saw tweets from others & realized it was the first time during the race they had done it. <br /><br />Yes some will be "annoyed" by it or will still do things during the breaks, but giving us the option instead of essentially making it for us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
