The rights to the first half of the Nationwide schedule have not been publicly announced, but NASCAR chairman Brian France let slip in a Tuesday conference call with reporters that there will be Nationwide races on Fox Sports 1. "We will have both Cup and Nationwide on FOX Sports 1 at some level," France said during the call. ESPN currently broadcasts the entire Nationwide schedule. This is from an AP sorry about NBC acquiring broadcast rights. Sounds like more pay to watch second and third tier subscription packages required to watch a decreasing quality broadcast of NASCAR for the fans to me.Not5for48https://www.blogger.com/profile/06254476034694079622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-14639015879467799232013-07-24T20:44:53.907-04:002013-07-24T20:44:53.907-04:00I have never heard of NBCSN. how are we going to...I have never heard of NBCSN. how are we going to watch races on a channel most people don't have access to???just a fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09547038937232228537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-87145662851684511422013-07-24T15:41:18.351-04:002013-07-24T15:41:18.351-04:00YES!!

Especially when there were for extra yellow flag laps during the race and the race broadcast bled over into reruns of Mama's Family...and the winner interview lasted about 4 seconds, and the rest of the top 5 were relegated to neglible importance behind Mama's shennanigans on THIS episode. "Network" is not what it used to be, and with ESPN you got the coverage you deserved after the racing...if you can even consider it "Network" with only 7 of the 20 airing on NBC itself. If I were an employee of MRN, I would be thrilled at this announcement! MILLIONS of new listeners flocking to get real coverage during the Chase.<br /><br />It used to really bug me when people would type "NA$CAR" every time they typed the word. But, sadly, it's never been more true. More money thrown at NA$CAR ;) will only mean more commercials in order to pay for it with an immediate jump to some rerun as soon as the checkered flag waves. I hope I'm wrong, but that's exactly what I didn't like about NBC's coverage the first go-round. They paid a ton of money to get NASCAR, then couldn't seem to end the broadcasts fast enough.Dwayne in Memphisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-58050648639188911872013-07-24T03:28:33.137-04:002013-07-24T03:28:33.137-04:00glad i listen to mrn/prn and only watch the tv cov...glad i listen to mrn/prn and only watch the tv coverageg55rumpynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-66023393128362836392013-07-23T22:52:08.533-04:002013-07-23T22:52:08.533-04:00Another big move by NBC Sports.
