I remember full well the WWoS days and also the TNN, Diamond P and Seals Communications days. I think that DC and crew have put in a helluva an effort to get us what we have. Is the package perfect; no but we all should try to support it and not undermine it. I appreciate anybody who sincerely tries.
If they throw up their hands in aggravation like some sniveling shits on here, the titty babies will really have something to cry about.

no it's not rocket science, but i spend too much time every FREAK'n week making sure i get everything recorded, and i've still missed motos... seriously, it shouldn't be a chore to catch all the mx races...
the answer is simple... Keep them on ONE network.... period.... preferably Speed .. but fuel, or nbc sports if the cash just isn't there....
The casual viewer who is flicking through the channels isn't going to sit through 4 hour of mx. So a highlight package for them maybe an 1hr- 1hr 1/2 on a regular slot on one network
And for the hardcore fans, an on line package showing all races live!
The solution could be this easy!
You can say about the GPs and their promotors what you want, but this MX-Live online streaming package is awesome!
The network channels have viewer numbers that are far above the niche sports channels. To be on NBC gives the sport the best chance to grow its viewers and fans.
NBC has said they intend to grow NBC Sports to be a worthy competitor to the Speed group (Fox). Probably not a bad place to be as one can also do some shows on the mainstream NBC channel if you have a partnership with them.
Yes, it is not ideal right now...but we all saw four MX motos live...that is the bottom line.
So is abandoning TV to provide streaming for the core group of fans the option for the US the answer, as YS has done with the US market by completely abandoning any notion of TV broadcasts to provide a thousand or so paying customers access?
What the teams have said in the past and apparently remains the case is that sponsors want to know what exposure they are getting, and the web doesn't mean anything to them in that respect.
We've seen a return of teams and riders to the outdoors here and new teams spawned since MXSports connected to Alli and together they have managed to get more live motos up and some of those live motos on one of the main broadcast networks during prime sports viewing hours. That's the exposure that drives the sponsorship opportunities the sport can't live without and needs to have to sustain itself or even grow. People shouldn't lose sight of that even if it imposes the crushing burden of having to check a TV schedule and change a channel. It's not like that some radical step backward, as some of you contend, but in fact the same thing you did with the exception that one channel swapped from Speed to NBCSN.
This sport is in serious trouble and will continue to spiral into the shitter if people do not respect the old addage, "It takes money to make money."
