Just noticed that NBCS has a 4 hour delay on showing the Indy SX race tonight.
That's 11:00 pm here in the East.

This is where you get scolded bout the good ol days when we had to wait in the snow to read results to a race from 6 months ago. On another note, I feel your pain. #spoiled

Right. Because FOX never delayed a race or played musical channels. It's live on the app every week, regardless.

Plus 3 hours of practice/pre-race. The gold package has been awesome.

Feld and NBC made their deal at the 11th hour, in December, I think. By then NBC was already committed to a lot of programming, including, in this case, the 12 Hours of Sebring, which is a helluva lot more important than a Supercross race.

Next year NBC will have time to plan ahead, and we can hope for scheduling conflicts to be bounced to sister networks or partners, such as CNBC or maybe MAV TV, which is owned by Lucas Oil.

I'll say this again: There's value in having Supercross and Motocross on a single network; it builds the collective brand. Now we just need the same broadcast crew (which means dumping the Supercross guys in the booth, while keeping Will Christien, of course).

its a no win situation for alot of you it seems. I remember when SX was on 1 station and nationals another people would bitch that they need to subscribe to 2 channels, now it's all on one and people still bitch.

My biggest complaint is they don't show lap times in the ticker. and the running order takes up so much room on the screen. they should do it like nationals and have the run order scroll across the top.

I agree with you on a single content provider. It's just good business.

I disagree on the ticker, though, which is a vestige of the 4:3 TV era when screen area was at a premium. With a 16:9 screen, there's plenty of room to read a large chunk of the running order and still see the running action. A ticker is too slow, and when it's down past the 20th position, it takes forever to cycle back to the top 10. Hell, as it is, sometimes they show multiple video boxes on the right that show different fights at once.

Ditching the antiquated running ticker is one area where MXGP coverage needs to improve. (That and the interval: In MXGP, anyone who hasn't crossed the start/finish line will be shown as a lap down on the ticker, even though they're actually running sixth or seventh, maybe 20 or 30 seconds back; fucking stupid.)

I wish it was back on ESPN with quality TV producers.

Gold Pass is great. I cancelled even my PS Vue subscription so I’m saving money.

SX will never be a mainstream sport and it’ll never have priority. Get used to it. Buy the Gold Pass. Well worth it.

Drop the cable/satellite package you pay $99 bucks a month for, and get HULU Live for $45.99 and the gold package for $100 bucks for SX and MX. It’ll pay for its self the 2nd month.

Live stream sure beats the old days of paying $2 bucks to call that 900# to hear the race results...

maybe its because i don't have a 50"tv then Laughing

i get what your saying with the ticker, but it wouldn't be as bad inSX cause there is only 20 riders. I agree it can be annoying in nationals cause it takes a long time to cycle. I still want to see lap times/fastest lap though.
