Never watch anything live, except breaking news. I do Twitter (read, don't post), will watch online streaming (ARCA practice with our fav Danica, last year, tire test, etc.). I get all info, news/racing via internet or select TV viewing...no newspapers or magazines for me.West Coast Dianenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-72819704464834479882010-12-18T18:34:02.786-05:002010-12-18T18:34:02.786-05:00I don't see NASCAR changing their bipolar ways...I don't see NASCAR changing their bipolar ways. Even if the ratings have no reading and the attendance at races are no shows it is not going to change the way Brian Francedoes things nor should it, and i hate to defend BZF, but it is his sport and he can run it the way he wants to and they are not going to let anyone from the outside. The fans, the media, anyone tell him how to run NASCAR. I think he runs it lousy, I think he is the worst executive in sports. But lousy ratings and attendance is not going to change what NASCAR did or is doing. It will blow over the next day and it will be back to business as usual and they will be well on their way to horrible seasons.<br /><br />And if they think the case is going to turn fans back, including me. They are thinking wrong.saltsburgtrojanfannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-42353224602936234942010-12-18T15:57:38.559-05:002010-12-18T15:57:38.559-05:00Donna in FL, I have a friend who works for Nielsen...Donna in FL, I have a friend who works for Nielsen. They measure a lot more than just tv viewers. You need to check out their web site. Web, mobile, retail, cross platform, radio, etc. It's Nascar with the problem, not Nielsen. Nielsen just provides access to the numbers. What Nascar and the media does or doesn't do with the data they are provided, that is the problem.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530553847645526841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-33507768284575439032010-12-18T11:23:27.976-05:002010-12-18T11:23:27.976-05:00Glad effort was made by DIS to DO SOMETHING.

May other tracks follow suit.<br /><br />Until audience measuring gets out of the Dark Ages ie 20th Cen (hello Nielsen) TV ratings are going to continue to decline no matter what gets done & they will still be scratching their heads. This is NOT just a NASCAR problem, other TV shows are also wondering where their viewers have gone (HELLO NIELSEN!!!)<br /><br />Yesterday I was told by an INDUSTRY person that DVR & time shifting is killing TV ratings & if the ratings are ever going to recover, viewing habits like that, internet viewing & downloading have to stop. ???!!! Got news. Ain't stopping.

I attended races at Martinsville and KY Speedway this year and on huge thing missing was WIFI and 3G cell service. Without that, keeping up with Twitter, which for now is the only way for fans to get info out of the garage during events, is nearly impossible. I understand supplying WIFI for such a large crowd at large venues can be difficult, why not a special grandstand section with WIFI available for purchase? That could go hand in hand with live streaming of Friday press conferences, Post qualifying interviews, and pre-race interviews. Also, with word that the Sprint Fanview likely going away, a NASCAR app for smartphones/tablet devices makes even more sense. How great would it be for ALL fans to have the same Fanview access anywhere that you can get at the track. Trackpass almost fills that niche, but there is no live video or in car. Plus it is tied to a PC and not viable on a portable device.Ianthinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-72490784010427048442010-12-16T19:26:24.465-05:002010-12-16T19:26:24.465-05:00During the last NBC Sunday Night Football telecast...During the last NBC Sunday Night Football telecast, Bob Costas mentioned all of the <br />alternatives that were available to viewers other than merely staring at the TV set. <br />Online streaming with multiple camera options, Facebook, Tweets, Blogs, etc. <br />NASCAR is still running on carburetors while everyone else is running computer controlled fuel injection both on and off the track. <br />Scottsbaker17noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-75017250951865771012010-12-16T18:29:02.344-05:002010-12-16T18:29:02.344-05:00Vince,

It would allow you to select from 3 or 4 different views in the garage area. I don't know what ever happened to that and can't remember exactly how many years ago it was. It's not something that I'd sit there and look at for hours, but it'd be nice to be able to look in to see what was going on once and a while if you wanted to.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530553847645526841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-82973653857316282362010-12-16T12:55:16.715-05:002010-12-16T12:55:16.715-05:00Just now got a chance to tune in and was kind of d...Just now got a chance to tune in and was kind of disappointed to only see JeffB and Kurt, but I guess they're doing them in groups? I'll take whatever I can get. They'll know how many viewers they get. I feel it's good to support what they do provide rather than just complain about what they don't, because those hard stats from web logs can be used to justify growth of what the fans like.Ginnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-87408136995553282672010-12-16T12:00:49.876-05:002010-12-16T12:00:49.876-05:00For those of us "traditionalists", NASCA...For those of us "traditionalists", NASCAR needs to improve the quality of the live TV broadcasts before they work on the live-streaming video, etc. With NASCAR being locked into these long term contracts with Turner on anything having to do with the internet, fixing the TV problem seems like a more pressing concern to me as shown by the declining ratings over the past several years. If the races were regular TV shows, they'd have already been replaced because of the poor ratings.The Mad Mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-91010198231089631042010-12-16T11:57:11.032-05:002010-12-16T11:57:11.032-05:00thanks for the pictures of the cars during the tir...thanks for the pictures of the cars during the tire test at Daytona.

Anyone willing to twit, tweet, whatever it's called, watch Nascar on a cell phone are already hard core fans that are not going anywhere. <br /><br />The casual fan has left do to the TV broadcasts and the circus event it looks like. It's no longer a true sport and people see that. <br /><br />It needs to be about the RACES on TV. Until that sinks into Nascar's head, the sport is doomed no matter what "online" stuff is offered.<br /><br />Online content is just the icing on the cake for the hardcore fans. <br /><br />Nascar needs to fix the cake first. And that cake is the TV broadcast.JohnPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12569069135013356289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-12486012541761053512010-12-16T08:47:55.058-05:002010-12-16T08:47:55.058-05:00I appreciate that Bristol streamed the tweet-up.
