ESPN2 screws NHRA again

[daveo]

A nine minute showing of the Las Vegas qualifying? Realy? I stayed up for that?
Thanks ESPN2 you jerks!

 

[stitcherbob]

me too......almost wasted a DVD on that

maybe they will show more at 3pm eastern

now, off to set the DVR to record the F1 of India............ and go to bed

 

[yoda]

Nine minutes? What pre-empted us?

 

[daveo]

College Football, then "Heaven Forbid", Golf from China.

 

[camaro]

amazing !!! how do u get bumped with a 2:30AM start time ??? ordinarily, the only thing on TV at that time is infomercials and soft porn, yet the show still cant start on time !

 

[daveo]

James, ESPN2 trimmed a 1 1/2 show down to 9 frigin' minutes! So they could broadcast a golf tournament from China! Oh, I forgot China owns us!!!

 

[Just Paul]

This is getting out of hand now.

 

[HEMI6point1]

Just a heads up, ESPN2 is re-airing the qualifying show at 3PM eastern today.

Now let's see if THAT gets pre-empted.

 

[daveo]

Thanks Sam!

why does everyone complain about this. we need to learn to accept what the NHRA and ESPN are giving us. it could be a lot worse.

And fans wonder why the TV ratings for NHRA drag racing fall into the toilet and International Companies like FORD leave the Pro Ranks.

How much worse could it get from a 9 minite show,what a joke. NHRA needs to fire ESPN

Yeah but was it a commercial-free 9 minutes??

 

[Paul]

This only proves how beyond stupid Compton and Light are.

9 minutes...why bother? The fact that NHRA has put up with ESPN's crap for this long is just evidence that they don't care about TV viewership. This makes it even more difficult for racers to get sponsorship. The racers should be jumping all over NHRA and ESPN.

Thank God for DVR's.

NHRA would likely get more viewers by posting their races directly to YouTube.

Seriously?

I suppose when you order a foot long from Subway and they hand you an inch and a quarter nub, you smile and say "I'm not going to complain, I will accept it, it could be worse."

whined for how long HAS IT GOTTEN ANY BETTER ?
NOOOOOOOOOO. So when they say no more NHRA on ESPN or ESPN Channels and back to maybe some highlights somewhere. It will be worse.
