Fox Drives Me Crazy (12 Viewers)

[GumbyWVU]

well, start guessing. if it comes to pay to view, count me out. i pay $170 per month for my fiber optic internet connection,
hulu live, and netflix. no more.

I agree with you, no way I'm doing PPV for any race either....PPV will likely result in lower viewership and by extension lose potential new fans. I sure hope it doesn't come that.

Subscribing to NHRA.TV is a pay per view. I’ll still be watching the races no matter where they are located. Sponsors would not be happy if the whole series is behind a paywall. Being on free TV or cable is necessary to attract new fans. Now it’s possible that Amazon or Netflix could provide enough eyeballs to please the sponsors. Flo Racing, Peacock or any other for pay service will only hurt NHRA and the sport.

Perhaps I misunderstood the original comment I replied to - I thought he meant PPV for each race only. Doesn't nhra.tv offer other content and such? I'd rather pay for a service with content than just a PPV only for each event. I think we're on the same page though, maybe a different paragraph so to speak.

NHRA.tv is roughly $150-170/yr, I can't remember, but I renew it every year. But that gets you total event coverage of all 20 events, from start to finish. There's a lot of content you won't see on the Fox coverage, and it shows every round of every class. Plus, there is a lot of divisional event coverage as well. There's room for improvement, as many have discussed here, but when you break it down, it's stupid cheap for a race junkie.

which is more horrible, fox or nhra.tv?

Neither, I think they're both great. I tune in to the .TV to catch everything with the Pro Classes, special guests in the booth, etc... I also watch the FOX broadcasts to hear their commentaries.

I’m going to predict that they have a deal with Fox/CW for the 20 race schedule and their NHRA.TV gets incorporated with Flo Racing. I heard that the NHRA.tv subscription is much lower than you would think. The video says they make a profit from it but I’m not so sure. Just my .02 cents.

These are my thoughts too. On another note, I read this earlier today, and thought that maybe they would look at NHRA?
