I guess my thought is that this wasn't a bait and switch, I don't even know what to call it. One way or another half (at least) of your audience was going to be unpleased and miss either the first moto (if not streaming), or 2nd moto streaming. I am not a fan of streaming, I feel like I am back in the days before VCRs and unable to record a show and if you want to watch, you have to sit there for 6 hours on a weekend, ain't nobody got time for that! But if it was streaming or nothing, you know I will watch what I can.
DC, on behalf of the pack of guys throwing personal attacks at you, I apologize. I remember the nationals getting NO coverage. I remember seeing one race a year on Wide World of Sports and waiting all year for that. I remember MXA in hard copy being my only source of racing info other than going to the races in person. Getting any national 6 hour outdoor race on TV or even streamed is no doubt a huge task with little reward. Thank you for all you do and the effort you put in to get what you can to these ungrateful bastards (and the few of us that would surely buy you a pint for your efforts).

Nobody in your chain of command can inform you of what is going on DC? I find that as an unacceptable excuse for your enterprise/corporation. People should be repremanded and held accountable, and I hope you do do that. Please don't pass it on like everyone in our federal government.
The real problem I see is that the corporate sponsors will be upset, since you didn't get their the product out as you intended.
Someone in your media corporation should be fired.

(I read that in MXA)
You should have known.
ps-I've also read that you promised these guys that their cable providers would carry Fuel & NBC Sports at No Charge & at ALL TIMES.
Epic FAIL!
Soooooooo Disappointed!
FIRED!
you guys are fucking ruthless!!!
would hate to be on the receiving end of what you give on something really important.... it's a fucking MX national people!
No one should be fired at mx sports. Why? Because mx sports didn't host/air/stream the races. NBC/Alli sports did. It was NBC/Alli sports' fault for making it difficult if you weren't able to watch all 4 motos like I did.
You don't have room to complain. Just because You're cable provider sucks and you couldn't watch all 4 motos doesn't have ANYTHING to do with DC. How about you go complain to NBC or ALII? I watched all 4 motos perfectly fine. Let's use our brains a little here. DC has a real life race to take care of. REAL LIFE. Yes, something you may not have heard of.
Some people were planning their day, yes their real day, around this national. They, too, have a life, and wanted to plan according to DC's announcement that ALL moto's would be streaming live all day. They invited friends over to watch, hangout, party etc.....
When their cable provider wasn't listed, they were screwed. Their party was screwed, their plans were screwed.
Get it?
Yes, some people have a REAL LIFE, and this was part of it!

I actually was so impressed in the quality of the first motos but so disappointed I wasn't aware you had to sign up for the second motos or I would of done it earlier in the day. The whole thing about being live and free was very misleading and just wish it was explained that we had to sign up and I would of.
I still believe the Nationals are heading in the right direction and thankful we can watch them the same day at all!
Just to let you know, If I couldn't get the second motos, I would have done something else. Bitching at you would never have been on my list since over the years, it is pretty clear that you want to improve every aspect of motocross for the riders, teams and fans. Keep up the good work, and ignore the idiots!
lol.
people here are so shot that they're interpreting your phone dying as having caused the coverage problems. Yup. A 4g mobile hotspot was sending out ALL the data. Hopefully we can get a kickstarter together for your 575,000 dollar data usage bill this month.
DC please continue to make improvements. Ignore those who lack the ability to be constructive in their criticism.
Anyway I know people are all upset and didn't get the feed as expected but in the grand scheme of things it is a small hiccup and not worth getting that worked up about it. Next week will be better.
Thanks to DC for coming into the lions den to explain things and looking for answers to make next week and beyond better.

original plans screwed, yes! party screwed, no! my glass is half full....
wtf do you do when the interstate is shutdown b/c of an accident?
A. sit and wait for it to be cleared. (in the broadcasts case substitute the word fixed for "cleared" hour, week, two weeks, who knows it's free)
B. find another route to keep moving (in the broadcasts case try something else, live timing, partying, hanging out, etc.)
some of you act as if you are going to go into convulsions or seizures if you don't get your fix of "hard core" moto.
