Who do you think will pick up the NASCAR broadcast rights?
me
NBC & ESPN. Fox doesn’t care about NASCAR anymore
I have no idea
ESPN and NBC
I could see NBC and ESPN doing it
ESPN made NASCAR a joke when they had their last TV deal. The sports shows would refuse to talk about it and even make jokes about the sport.
That wasn't really an issue until NASCAR decided to go with FOX instead of ESPN & TNT when NBC came back. Both ESPN & TNT felt betrayed & even wanted out of their deal a year early.
The issue with it is ESPN is losing day show fans in the afternoon and morning half after GET UP. First take is Stephen a Smith’s show but I believe with the support that they have had towards bubba and the young drivers I think is genuine. The thing is we want that prime broadcasting and ESPN wants to be the world wide leader in sport and rn it’s in shambles. ESPN+ and their streaming service I think saved them. I don’t care what SAS says about nascar cause it’s a sport, and he is an over reactor for clicks. It’s been proven, just look at First Takes videos, it’s ALL about him, and only him. He probably got pissed that Kellerman got more views on him last year and so that’s why they gave him his own show.
So overall I think it would help nascar and I wouldn’t watch really if they did talk about nascar with First Take unless it’s positive and escapee the redneck part about it and just car on two aspects. The racing and the drama of the characters involve.
So did old ESPN. Don’t forget the Dick Trickle jokes they made every single week
Not bringing back RPM 2 Night or Speedweek was such a missed opportunity for ESPN. At that time, they had the rights to IndyCar, ALMS, NASCAR, and NHRA among others.
I'm really surprised that you left out Peacock. NBC will broadcast Indycar on both NBC and Peacock , meaning that they can do the same for NASCAR. And NASCAR really needs some streaming.
Free streaming.
Since the ESPN/SRX news broke, I've been waiting for you to do something like this.
I really miss alan bestwick and jarrett in the booth. We NEED a broadcaster who takes nascar seriously, as a sport.
The part I love about FOX is you can catch repeats all through the week. A HUGE mistake CBS made was the only time you could watch SRX was live even though they have CBSSN . Granted you can get a repeat on RUclips. I could honestly care less about the guys in the booth because I usually have MRN going for audio. Sure the delays are confusing but fun at the same ti
I agree with your prediction NBC should return for the first half and ESPN should do the second and also it should be known that ESPN is owned by Disney and they also have a broadcasting channel that a lot of us have probably heard of called ABC. So maybe god willing we get some races on ABC in addition to ESPN while NBC still has USA.
And who knows, that might even motivate ESPN to talk about nascar once in awhile instead of only when racist shit happens. Would be very good for the sport. Now we just need the old, ignorant, and racist fan base to die out and stop embarrassing the sport as a whole. Nascar should be begging ESPN to show some races
Though ESPN is technically it's an joint venture with Disney and Hearst.
@@stephenholloway6893 What's your point?
@@mitchbrown6652 Most people assumed that Disney fully owns ESPN but they don't just an 80% majority. That's my point.
@@stephenholloway6893 Ok? What does that have to do with anything you or I said?
I hope there is some sort of big streaming option. I'd gladly cancel my cable if it meant I could pay 10 or 15 a month to watch on peacock or whatever. This doesn't mean cable coverage needs to go away. It should simply be an option for viewers. Younger people are more into streaming than cable anyway but what would nascar know about reaching out to young people when they can't even get a videogame out lmao
Exactly! I’d gladly pay a subscription if it meant watching races without commercials
To be fair Apple TV is going to have a huge streaming option with Major League Soccer and their Season Pass starting next year. In fact, apart from a few games on Fox, it's where all of their games will be housed.
NBC/Peacock would be perfect for this
NASCAR's already planning on that
True
I wouldn't be too surprised if it's a similar combination of Fox and NBC as no other network makes more sense or sees a deep willingness to get back into Nascar covered
I think this will be the TV Contract. First Half Fox Sports/Prime Video. This partnership brings Nascar to more mainstream markets. Second Half ESPN/ESPN Plus. But Hulu will also have some races. The entire NBC Crew goes to NBC except Rick Allen. Adam Alexander becomes the play by play for the Cup Series.
And that’ll tune out fans. A majority of the fan base is older and ain’t streaming much. Yes, NASCAR will be going to streaming but fans won’t be following. Also, Adam Alexander as play by play is a terrible idea lol
I am very surprised that Warner Bros Discovery (TBS, TNT, HBO Max & MotorTrend) wasn't mentioned in this video because they would be a great partner for NASCAR especially in the 2nd half of the season. The main reason why is currently from mid June (when the NBA & NHL playoffs end)-early October (when the MLB postseason begins) they have no live sports or programming in general on weekends especially since they started airing their weekly MLB game on Tuesday nights. The only things that are on TBS & TNT on those days are old movies, American Dad reruns from 2007 & 20 year old Law & Order reruns. NASCAR would fill that void big time & inject some excitement/drama into both networks. Races could also be streamed on HBO Max as a way of attracting younger fans. Meanwhile Motor Trend (which is also owned by Warner Bros Discovery) could also be used to air the Truck Series & Xfinity Series especially when the MLB Playoffs start & TNT would be used as a spillover network for any playoff games that are delayed as a result of the game on TBS going into extra innings. There is a rich history between NASCAR & TBS/TNT because they covered the sport from 1982-2014 & many fans would want them back. Lastly & most importantly, Warner Bros Discovery does not have any NFL or College Football to get in the way of their NASCAR coverage & can dedicate the needed time & resources into covering the sport.
Good thinking about TNT coming back to NASCAR, but what if NASCAR interrupts AEW Rampage on TNT during a wreck-filled Xfinity Series race at Daytona???
@@billygsell3625 what will likely happen in that situation is that AEW Rampage would be moved to TBS since TBS has nothing on at that time. To prevent this issue in the first place, what AEW would likely do is let their fans know during Dynamite on that Wednesday (and through social media) that Rampage for that week will be on TBS so that the AEW fan isn't caught off guard by the sudden switch in network. This also makes sure that NASCAR fans aren't trying to find TBS to watch the remainder of the race plus it allows TNT to stay with the race no matter how long it takes.
@@chrisguardiano6143TNT Is Coming Back To NASCAR In 2025.
25-year fan here. LONG overdue for a premium subscription straight from NASCAR. Like you said, commercial free, advanced camera options and old race access. If ESPN comes back, it will be radio for me those races.
Kinda want there to be a three-way in coverage for NASCAR. 12 races per broadcaster. Sadly, it's not likely that it will ever happen. It's not the 90s anymore.
This is what I think. Fox would pay money to keep nascar and it could be a good amount for the drivers to get, could get nascar happy. The next one is NBC for the midway point into the season leads up to the playoffs. Then ESPN can put Nascars Cup series for their final 10 races on ABC and have it go up with the NFL. I think these three are the best options out there. It’s gonna be hard to keep to trade out Daytona 500 from FOXs grasps and put it into NBC. I mean they are gonna be talking lots of money. So the potential money and tv deals will be very important. The next Gen looks like it be very competitive and I think fans see that. And nascar viewership has gone up. I think if we have a 3 way tv deal split and keep it simple then I think it would work out well for Nascar, fans, drivers, and the broadcasters.
I miss the early days of the new millennium when NBC had Alan Bestwick and the legends Benny Parsons & Buddy Baker. Maybe after NBC the 2nd half can be covered by ESPN with Alan Bestwick. But IMO Mike Joy is the best front man the sport has right now and i think it will hurt the sport when he is no longer on the air.
Mike Joy is great, but he's been about the only good thing about FOX's coverage. Their production quality is significantly worse than it was 10 years ago.
I miss Ned Jarrett the most from the 90's! He was very informative 👍
@@paulsawyer7210 i agree completely
@@johnmessinajr.2591 yes! Ken Squier and Ned on CBS were legends as well Dr jerry punch Chris economacki
@@NCracing3NBC had Wally Dallenbach too. He was one of my favorites as a kid
NBC owns the Golf Channel, and has the the PGA through the Masters Sat/Sun on big NBC, CBS has it after that. That's why Indycar doesn't have more early races. NASCAR has the same issue, and with the NFL and Fox, they are 2nd fiddle, twice. Your analysis of ESPN stepping up, is on point, ESPN does need NASCAR, more than NASCAR needs ESPN. Forget streaming only, supplementary, ok.
I'm torn, because ESPN had kinda of done motorsports (specifically NASCAR) dirty, but at the same time it would make NASCAR a lot more mainstream in the sports world. If they got the rights, their would need to be way more races on ABC than in the last deal.
I believe the structure that NBC/USA currently has when it comes to watch. The races are broadcast on cable and watch races are broadcast on broadcast television is good enough to wear if ESPN get involved with NASCAR for the second half of the season that structure needs to be adopted from NBC so that way everybody is happy.
I’d want the broadcast split into 3rds, the first 12 races for Fox, the second 12 for NBC, and the last 12 for ESPN. I have very much missed ESPN’s playoff coverage for NASCAR
Here's my take, as it's a mix of realism and my fantasy that I'd like:
Fox: Clash -- All-Star Race
NBC: Coke 600 -- Indianapolis
ESPN: Week after Indy -- Phoenix
All races have a live streaming option/replay on Peacock, & ESPN+, Fox does this with either Tubi, or RUclips Premium.
In this scenario, all races are on network, cable, & streaming, NASCAR can have their product on multiple platforms, and each provider can be happy with their schedules. Fox still has NASCAR in the Spring, NBC has them in the Summer and not have to worry about SNF, opening the door for more night races, and ESPN can do back-to-back broadcasts of F1 & NASCAR on Sundays to complete against the NFL
Who's here after NASCAR XFINITY series on the CW Network announced in 2025?
Srx doesn't start till July. Negotiations will be well under way by then. I don't think srx is a tryout for ESPN but preparation for ESPN.
As long as we have Mike Joy and Larry Mac going as long as they want, I could care less who had the deal tbh
I believe a new NASCAR deal will depend on external happenings as well.
First, although the NBA TV deal ends in June, 2025, they will get a new deal before NASCAR, thus limiting the power of NASCAR on any deal they want.
Second, with Fox being part of the B1G Conference's new media rights deal, as well as Fox being majority of the B1G network and the conference expanding in Los Angeles, Fox will want to showcase the network as much as possible.
I'm probably in the minority on this one, but I'm pretty well satisfied with the NASCAR coverage FOX and NBC have been providing. In all honesty, I'm hoping it continues to be FOX and NBC on the next contract.
Honestly in my opinion whether they go with fox ESPN NBC or some other partner they should have some or all the races simulcast on a streaming service doesn't necessarily have to be commercial free. That way the people who don't have cable could still be able to watch the season and we'll get some of the younger crowd involved.
As well as they should do more advertising non NASCAR channels because I remember as a kid whether it was Cartoon Network Nickelodeon or Disney XD I would see the NASCAR Gillette Young Gun or Carl Edwards subway commercials almost every commercial break. As well as some stores used to sell NASCAR merch when I was a kid so they should partner with a clothing brand or store because the young crowd would definitely buy the T-shirt. as well as possibly tune in to the broadcast or get engaged and watch highlights and look at pictures on social media.
FOX and ESPN. No question. They’re the two biggest players in sports and NASCAR will want to play off of their energy. Not just with what they’ve had with Fox and the marketing for the Daytona 500 after the Super Bowl, but ESPN with the NHL, NBA, MNF, and especially F1 now.
I actually wouldn’t mind if CBS got NASCAR back even though it’s been years
They would likely need NBC or ESPN to pick up more PGA Tour events (or even one of the two Majors they have) in order to do so as that has been the main obstacle towards them getting NASCAR back. CBS has the interest level & the money but is in an inflexible contract with the PGA Tour & has been for years. However due to the war currently taking place between the PGA Tour & LIV that is threatening to do the same thing that happened to Indycar in the mid 90's, it may open the door for CBS to finally cut back on its golf commitments & focus more on getting NASCAR back. Ideally, CBS should try to get the 1st half of the season as it will be impossible for them to air races on big CBS during the NFL season.
Also cbs has the NCAA tournament
@@crgray1979 which would really affect coverage in March because races would be pushed to CBS Sports Network/Paramount+. It would be a good thing for CBS Sports Network to get some NASCAR races because not many people watch the channel apart from fans in select college conferences (ex: Mountain West) currently. However it is a bad thing as well because CBS Sports Network isn't a basic cable channel & people would have to pay extra for it. Then with Paramount+, it is good for attracting younger fans to NASCAR but also bad in that NASCAR's core audience may have a hard time accessing the races.
I don't know about any of you but I would like to see some new faces in the broadcast Booth.
Folks I’m reaching back to the late 80’s when you had ESPN speed world with Bob Jenkins, Benny Parsons, Ned Jarrett and Dr. Jerry Punch. That was a great broadcast crew. Today I love listening to Dale Jr. he has a great way of telling stories and understands the future while remembering the past.
A huge untapped potential is Peacock, its so far working for IMSA and Indycar, and I hate the fact that I was watching only select few races versus all remaining races be available as a option to watch and not to be forced. NBC x USA Network x Peacock for all remaining races, seriously.
My biggest preference is just for a streaming platform. Whether that's peacock, ESPN+, or direct from NASCAR. I'd love a library of historical on demand races and content but that's probably not going to happen.
Fox sports was once the best broadcaster but these last few years where rough culminating last year when they missed multiple massive crashes especially in the lower series
My fear with fox renewing is if Mike joy calls it a career after this season which is very likely, my fear with ESPN is they will do what they did before by trying to make the sport as unwatchable as possible my fear with amazon streaming races could be annoying so I want CBS and NBC
This could be ESPN’s time to rise
I want more races to be broadcast over the air for those of us on fixed incomes . We wanna see the races too ! Give us a break networks !
Totally agree!!! This is why many die hards like my 66 year old father are saying the hell with it!
And they mainly put the gimmick type races on over the air it seems, road courses and plate tracks ( I do personally love Bristol dirt though).
It is my belief that 99% of all good in NASCAR races are put on cable television and the lame of NASCAR races are put on broadcast television.
( for this reason just remember when fox used to have on broadcast television that 99 lap truck race from Talladega but it seems they have no other truck race on broadcast television)
@@devergrace2657 That's a really good point, and you're probably right.
I would gladly buy a all NASCAR streaming service!
NO! Streaming is a dead end for sports.
People are saying that if ESPN comes back that Alan Bestwick will follow. I don’t think he will.
I have an antenna. When races are on cable, I listen to MRN/PRN and that’s good enough for me.
Hey Iceberg, could you do a what if scenario with the playoffs in 1996 if it is possible? I’d love to see that because 1996 was such an eventful year. I’ve seen your series and it’s actually a lot of fun to watch because it’s like a story
I think he retired that series a year or two ago because he felt burnt out.
I have been watching Nascar since the mid 80's so whoever is broadcasting Nascar in 2024 and beyond...I will still be watching it.
I love the ESPN idea, but the Amazon plan has many loopholes because people like me just watch TNF on Twitch for free so we don't have to pay for Amazon streaming.
I don't want NASCAR to ever go exclusively online. In my experience, Amazon's NFL broadcasts have been dookie
THANK YOU ICEBERG!!!
Steve Phelps said during his appearance on 'The Marchand and Ourand Sports Media Podcast' back in February that while streaming platforms are an integral part to the future of television coverage, the importance of over-the-air broadcasting is critical to having a significant number of eyeballs on the product they are trying to sell.
This is why I feel FOX Sports will be left out in the dust. They do not have a platform similar to the streaming services of peacock, ESPN+ or even Paramount+.
NASCAR is a tougher brand to sell now than it was during the last round of negotiations for television rights. With the rise in popularity of Formula One here in the United States (both in terms of viewership and marketability), a guaranteed platform model for the next eight years that took full advantage of what both options have to offer. This would provide stability for the sanctioning body and not only assist in propelling the league into the future, but serve as a reminder to the world of professional sports why NASCAR is worth the investment in a rebound of growth to a position it once held before.
If NASCAR did a deal with Amazon, that would be a bad move. Majority of NASCAR live in rural areas or suburban areas. Suburbs usually have throttled internet connection and rural areas have almost no internet connection. Like where I live. The rural areas have spotty connection and the suburban areas have throttled connection. That's why I'm against going streaming only. There's so many people like me who lack perfect internet connection.
Amazon is a great popular subscription if they made it either free with ads or ppv for ad free that would be nice, but I want a nascar subscription service while it’s also on amazon
As a fan of many motorsports, anything on an oval, we need a super streaming service for racing with high quality broadcasts for NASCAR, WoO, ASCS, ASCoC, USAC, Lucas Oil Late Models, and more. A monopoly of Flo, Dirt Vision, and TV combined
I really want nascar to become more accessible and with that maybe streaming might be the way to go. I think ESPN is going to go for NASCAR.
2 things will determine whether or not FOX comes back & if not, who would replace them:
1. Mike Joy - He's the cornerstone of the network. He's also in his 70's. I don't see him commentating much longer. I see him retiring after this contract is up. He retires, FOX is done.
2. Other networks interest - NBC will stay, but what about others? The CBS experiment with SRX was a bust & they're not likely to do it now. TNT will never come back. ESPN is the wild card. Will ESPN forgive what NASCAR did to them & TNT in 2012?
The best bet is ESPN replacing FOX, but their interest & what Mike Joy decides to do after this current deal is up will determine what happens.
It'd be interesting to see Amazon broadcast NASCAR
Have a bad feeling about the new TV contract.
What I would LOVE, NBC gets the full season. All 3 series. Just imagine Memorial Day weekend: you’re a race fan in the US, you watch Monaco if it’s that weekend (sky sports does a great job IMO), then turn on NBC for a full day of racing. Pre-reads for the Indy 500 all the way to Coke 600 post race. You keep your usual guys wheee they are, indycar guys in Indy, NASCAR guys in Charlotte, but maybe you ring the other guys up (like Dale chimes in in the 500, Hinch and Bell chime in on the 600).
NBC graphics package is top tier, they don’t act like fans are stupid but also keep the viewer informed and actually explain some of the tech in the car, plus with Fox out of the way, the all-star race could, in theory, move around more. Also stream every race commercial
Free on peacock, and maybe you put some races exclusively on peacock. I’d love it, doubt it will happen though.
Being an Amazon prime member it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have them broadcast NASCAR but I mainly got RUclips tv to watch everything NASCAR an it worked like a charm
What would you do for those people who do not have a prime membership through Amazon? Because it’s sounding like if Amazon has a NASCAR broadcasting deal, the only people that would benefit would be Amazon prime members.
We forgot a BIG broadcasting station. Peacock. They have nascar post-race coverage, and could be potential to have half of nascar for broadcasting in the upcoming years
8:10 $10 a month will nowhere near cut it. They'll be asking at least $20 to have it anywhere close to financially viable. Remember most if not all streaming services are running at a loss right now - and NASCAR needs this to be a revenue driver
I wouldn’t be surprised if Amazon prime becomes the only one for nascar.
Amazon would/could work and maybe could air races in Europe to expand Nascars audience.
How I think the schedule would work if it was split between fox and ESPN
Daytona -Sonoma (Allstar race included) fox sports (split between fox and fs1.
Chicago street course-Phoenix ESPN. .
It's most likely (and I think) Fox Sports will keep NASCAR beyond 2024 with the next contract for the 1st half of the season (from the Daytona 500 to the Coke 600 at least), & have races aired on Fox, FS1 & Fox Deportes (with Amazon Prime Video as a supplementary streaming partner in the US for Fox races, while Amazon gets the international streaming rights for all NASCAR races, assuming NASCAR doesn't launch their own streaming service and/or work something out with Amazon).
I don't see CBS Sports or WBD getting NASCAR (even though it would be cool to have a Cup Series race or 2 aired on Nickelodeon similar to the NFL game broadcasts on Nick), but for the 2nd half of the season, it's either gonna be NBC (again), ESPN/ABC, or both NBC & ESPN/ABC splitting the rights. But if the 2nd half of the season is going to have more than 1 broadcaster between NBC & ESPN/ABC, then ESPN can have the Summer races airing on ESPN's networks, ESPN Deportes, ABC & ESPN+ from June -August (with Sonoma, Nashville, the 4th of July Race, Brickyard & the Coke Zero Sugar 400 in Daytona airing on ABC). Plus ESPN can do alternate broadcasts for Cup Series races similar to the Peyton & Eli MNF broadcasts, a kid-friendly broadcast similar to the NFL on Nick games airing on Disney Channel, & a Megacast for the Coke Zero Sugar 400 on ABC, ESPN's networks, Freeform, Disney Channel, Disney+ & ESPN+!
NBC, USA, Telemundo & Peacock can air the playoffs from the Southern 500 in September all the way to the Season Finale race in November. But if overruns into Sunday Night Football are a concern for NBC, then they can air the NASCAR races from June-August, and let ESPN/ABC air the playoffs from Sept.-Nov. (with November's Season Finale race in Phoenix getting the Megacast treatment on ABC, ESPN's cable TV networks, Freeform, Disney Channel & ESPN+, with Disney Channel airing a kid-friendly broadcast similar to the NFL on Nick).
As for NASCAR launching their own streaming service, it should be called NASCAR Unlimited, featuring live commercial-free races not just for Cup, Xfinity & Truck Series races, but also lower-level & international races, in addition to scanner audio & in-dash cams during races, exclusive pre-race & post-race shows including press/media conferences, plus an on-demand archive of previous NASCAR races.
My wishlist is this. Fox and NBC stay like it is and NASCAR debuts a NASCAR+ and pay 10 bucks a month and you could stream all races live commercial free and have NASCAR+ exclusive shows and content like classic races.
That I can work with.
I’d say put old races there but that’s what RUclips is for.
If they don’t feature some streaming platform along with the TV deal, they’re losing money. It’s a simple call. I don’t know anyone who watches cable 35 and under unless they’re at a bar.
I think NASCAR needs a streaming deal because a lot of people can’t a Ford those very high expensive cable, TV, packages and satellite packages. Watch also, the streaming option needs to be priced appropriately so everybody can afford it because if you put the price too high for the majority of people you’re going to lose a big chunk of the Fanbase who may have wanted to subscribe.
Shame it might not happen, but my choice would be CBS, you're right about the broadcasting, and it would be awesome to hear the iconic Nascar on CBS music from back when I was just a little kid for modern day races, nothing like good nostalgia I guess.
I know this hasn't been widely reported but NASCAR is bringing the production of the races in house similar to F1. They are building a massive media building on their concord property. This is not the way Fox and NBC operate which is leading me to believe they are going down the route of a streaming/simulcast route. As crazy as it sounds I would not rule out an Amazon/Speed Sport 1 avenue
@@johnhaas2523 they do but not on the level of NASCAR. Not saying they won’t do it just that they don’t want to do it that way
During the first half of this year I got bored of NASCAR, but as soon as NBC took over I didn't want to miss a cup or Xfinity race at all.
Well I agree with you that NBC and ESPN should be the broadcast partners come 2025 because those would be the two best options, IMO. The Daytona 500 could most definitely serve as a lead in to the 2026 Winter Olympics if NBC got the first half of the year.
However, I do think you'll be right that FOX will sadly come back and ESPN will jump on board.
But while Amazon would be a good option, and I wouldn't be completely against it, I think NASCAR does need to have a home on network TV, whether that's on NBC, FOX or ABC, at least for some races (Daytona 500, Coke 600, Southern 500, etc.).
Nascar doesn't need over the air channels. Too many people have streaming services and cable/ satellite television. Make a streaming channel within Peacock like WWE or broadcast all races on other streaming service like Paramount+
@@JamesJohnson-sl6zc I don't necessarily agree that they don't need over the air TV networks. Having races on NBC and FOX really helps ratings. Not everyone has a streaming service, let alone multiple.
Get a little bold. Identity 12-15 points paying races (Daytona, Talledega, Charlotte, Bristol dirt etc) and sell that package to traditional TV networks, and offer the remainder to streaming services with the option for traditional TV to pick up a handful of races either live or on delay. Leave say 12-15 races exclusive to the streaming platform.
I don’t care what channels have it as long as Allen Bestwick is an announcer for a network
A combination of Fox, NBC/Peacock, and Prime Video make the most sense.
I hope the new deal is FOX/Amazon prime, CBS/Paramount plus summer time and NBC/peacock for the last 10 races. 3 media tv deal would make sense and more races on local networks for better viewership.
NASCAR should create their own streaming service like F1 TV with better viewing and commentary enchantments and camera angles and let it be commercial free.
For me, if NBC can’t show more than 11 races per season and the other 10 on cable, then they just shouldn’t broadcast nascar period. It’s so frustrating (yes I do have RUclips TV, but I live in an area where internet sucks, so I have to either use my mobile hotspot or plug my phone into the tv, and it’s really inconsistent) I have an antenna where NBC is the only channel that comes in all the time, while FOX doesn’t. Plus, why can’t they put all of their races on NBC during football season?
Love the perspective on CBS. They make events feel important and have crisp, quality broadcasts. To gain mainstream integrity again, NASCAR needs that feel in their coverage
I will like to see NBC get more races by spreading them in the season when there's no NFL and Indycar conflicts
And the other races could go to the other channel
I just don’t want to get to a point where we have to bounce from a multitude of television networks like we did in the early 2000s in order to watch a NASCAR races. Because in the early 2000s it felt like every single weekend there was a different NASCAR race being broadcast on a different channel instead of having a two network structure like we have today.( yes, I understand the fox/fox sports one and NBC/USA put back in the day. It was way more spread out.)
Hopefully as many broadcast partners as possible....... more tv networks means more exposure/coverage/positive coverage ...... since 2000 no other sport INTENTIONALLY reduced the number of tv partners except NASCAR.... every other league increased the tv partners so there were more partners that had a vested interest in covering + cross promoting their sports. The single network tv contract is one of the large reasons NASCAR has faltered the last two decades..... going with a all streaming like Amazon would be the final nail in the coffin for NASCAR to ever become a top tier sport....... you don't intentionally shut out completely a broadcasting medium as large still as TV
It's work for the NFL only because they're a monolith. For most other sports, it's not worked
@@DepravedCoTApologist It has also worked in other sports, since 2000, MLB has added games on FOX, TBS and back on NBC...... the NBA added ESPN and TNT (dropped NBC), NHL is back on two networks ESPN and TNT..... heck even the WNBA expanded to two networks CBS and ESPN. Only NASCAR though it was good idea to have LESS networks having a vested interest in covering the sport in a positive manner. That move by NASCAR is also why there fewer season long sponsors as sponsors want to be covered on as many networks as possible, not just one network every week.
@@hogziller I meant the streaming part. My bad, should've said that in my comment
It would be great if they went onto Amazon prime, there is a chance I could watch races in the uk
Didn't nascar used to have an old race archive of some sort at one point on their old website?
Please no ESPN would be a terrible choice I'm a newer race fan so I don't know how they treated them before but having to use ESPN+ every Saturday for fights has soured me on the service
What I don't understand is why NBC is not willing to make Nascar a lead in to SNF instead of added a 1 hours news
Wouldn’t surprise me if somebody down the road ESPN gets completed NASCAR coverage
I think it's going to be Fox host the first half, and ESPN/ABC host the second half, but what I hope for is Fox and ESPN swap weekly. I might be the black sheep here, but I like Fox. Always have.
I'm not american but as I hear about it I think NBC for the whole season would be ideal, here in Brazil it's bandsports with the 3 series for the whole season.
NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!!! ESPN. ESPN has gone totally WOKE and all they will talk about is how it everyone else's fault that Bubba isn't doing well. ESPN did a shit job before and they'll do an even worse job this time around. NBC has been great. Having peacock along with has been great. I got peacock long ago for WWE and having NASCAR along on has great. If I miss a race I record I'd it on Hulu, but if the race is rain delayed Hulu won't record it. But I can easily go to peacock and see the race there.
NBC side, Steve letarte is actually my favorite part of their coverage
Nascar Cup races need to be on Antenna TV more! When you say "Big Fox" this is what you likely mean. Many of us older fans have no interest in steaming services. They are just another monthly bill 🙄 The broadcasting needs to be more professional and informative as you suggested. Great video 🙂
I really don’t want ESPN. It’s on cable and it’s really not great coverage. Plus it wouldn’t be even close to the primary sport or project on the network
I don't have cable anymore, but I used to LOVE when it was on a different network practically every week, when it was split up between CBS, TNN, TBS, and ESPN.....so I think they could do that again, the first couple races can be on fox, and then one week on ESPN, one week on NBC, one week on CBS sports, and then Fox again, and then say, NBC, and then ESPN, so nobody has one CHUNK of the year, they get certain races sprinkled throughout the year
Me personally I would like to see maybe FOX/ESPN/CBS divide up the schedule.
We know part of the puzzle CW for the Xfinity Series but not for the rest, yet.
NBC and FOX should go back to taking turns broadcasting the Daytona 500
I know this isn't very realistic but I would love to have NBC/USA broadcast the entire NASCAR season. Like you said, their broadcasts are more professional and exciting to watch compared to FOX. I also hope that NASCAR stays away from streaming services as much as possible because, to me, it doesn't make sense to pay a certain amount a month to watch the races.
I don't really care for Dale Jr's commentary but the NBC coverage was the best the past 3 years
Maybe ESPN idk, but I'm more concerned about whether or not the new contracts will allow NASCAR to finally abolish the playoffs
That's a dream now my friend I don't think they'll be going anywhere anytime soon
@@theultimatekfbfan2721 Not after the Hail Melon
@@johnhaas2523 Playoffs don't belong in Motorsports
@John Haas No they don't, that's not what diehard fans want. They want Pure racing, and a legit format to crown a real champion. Not some gimmicky playoff format with "Win and you're in".
@John Haas Still, I go by what I said. Playoffs Do Not Belong In Motorsports for people who don't know Jack squat about pure racing
If you like entertaining, then watch a Demolition Derby
Did brodie close line the other dude on purpose at the start of the race while going insane speeds in a car… Insane
A streaming service dedicated to nascar 24/7 can only happen if the ticket sales for the full year is really good not just the big weekends (Daytona, Phoenix, Darlington and the 600).. prediction is an extension of the current
What should happen but include the streaming services (fox with Amazon or Hulu/Disney plus and NBC with peacock) being a partner.. however NEVER make a race exclusive to the service in the first year then have race replays be saved on the service for the entirety of the year and remove it just before the following year's clash
Fox (only partner that broadcasts in 4K),
ESPN, ESPN+ (commercial free feed, In Car driver streams with radio) and 4-5 exclusives on Prime Video/Twitch or RUclips
My want for nascar tv deal: ABC/ESPN/ESPN plus/Hulu/espn deportes for first half, yea that would be nuts but I think bring in Allen Bestwick and other espn motorsports analysts/ alumni in the fold second half nbc/USA/peacock/telemundo (bring them in the fold) get first half as serious content second half same thing. Hopefully by that point a good reduced schedule for 2024 that’s manageable and engaging the nascar audience. Super wild card: ok I know they are not in the fold yet but Apple TV plus, I watch them very carefully how they do with mlb and mls since they have rights. I can speak that having mls 10 year streaming deal no blackouts (Fox signed a national tv deal but mls will produce all its games) and how advertisers view this will be a model how nascar will try to put ads without impeding the coverage.
NASCAR on TNT
Not only that but would they be willing to align themselves with an broadcast network? Like what what they're doing for CBS with March Madness for example.
Hopefully not Amazon, I hate them as a company and don't (knowingly) use their services.
I try not to, I do most of my online shopping on eBay, I feel like shopping on Amazon is like letting Jeff Bezo violate my wallet! You got to pay for free shipping most of the time unless they make it an option on the odd item then if it does have free shipping it takes a full week to get there...I've ordered eBay packages and got them as early as 4 days!
@@PaperBanjo64 same
Nascar on Nickelodeon sounds cool
Nope there's no reason.
That’s a horrible idea, especially when you see the quality of their NFL broadcast
I’m surprise that CBS isn’t getting involved with NASCAR so they can throw it to Paramount plus. Because if NASCAR wants to make a good streaming deal, I will leave with the quality of broadcasters that CBS can you track I do believe that paramount plus streaming service would be a great option for those fans of NASCAR who want a stream only option
Bold prediction, ESPN buys the second half of the season and buys the right too the Speed channel
@@johnhaas2523 Ahhh I was assuming fox would have some kind of trademark rights too it
FS1 is headquartered at the old SpeedVision studios. It’s where I currently work.
Wouldn’t surprise me and I would thoroughly enjoy it
@@T4R_2OUL Disney has so much money. It wouldn’t surprise me if they bought the rights completely.
ESPN would be a death sentence for Nascar, yes back in the day they made nascar what it became. But all those people are either no longer with us or have just left ESPN. Right now they are a mess. I would say that fox will stay and most likely NBC or possibly CBS but who ever gets the contracts it has to written into it on when commercials are aired I would rather miss pit stops and caution laps then miss 9 green flag laps in first stage which happened in Fontana. Pit stops can be reviewed on split screen after commercial breaks and they average anywhere from 5 to 8 caution laps at stage breaks and wrecks. With the way races are set up now we should not miss green flag racing at all
I despise NBC with a passion. Wouldn’t hurt my feelings to see them go. They need a new booth
