Rant alert! What is up with Feld and MX Sports and going to streaming? It seems like greed to me? DC you can give your reasoning any time as why you chose to change? Is it all about money or does the networks don’t want to cover motorsports? Does FELD and MX Sports get a better deal with streaming vs network programing? There must be some reason why they are opting to go with streaming vs network tv. We will be getting screwed because of these changes. Peacock is $5 a month now but wait until it is gone from the networks it will go way up. Remember when cable came out it was inexpensive as was satellite tv until they took over the market and now look what they charge! The hook is out just waiting for you to take it. Im sorry but I am not playing this game again, if SX and MX go full streaming I will be done watching it! I had a good run I went to the first SX race at the LA Colosseum in 1972 and the first SX race held in Anahein stadium in 1976 when Marty Smith rode his works 125 against the 250s. I pay way to much for tv to spend more money to stream racing! End of rant!
Supercross only - $47 USD / $65 AUD
Supercross, Outdoors, MXdN, Loretta Lynns - $88 USD / $120 AUD

But for me, having the MXdN included as well as next year's outdoors in one package is still good value for $120.
It annoys me paying for something that I used to watch on an already paid for subscription (Foxtel), but I've come to the realisation that I couldn't be stuffed trying to chase up streams or buying one-off services to watch and rather pay for it all with no dramas.

Maybe try to buy a visa gift card or something
The TV/streaming landscape is in a huge transition right now, as every network and sport are trying to get fans to sign up for their streaming services and subscriptions.
Then there is the demographic shift: For example, I have two kids (19 and 14) and they haven't watched network TV at appointed times and channels in years, with the exception of the occasional live race or WVU game. Like it or not, the future has been here for awhile and every series/league/network/movie producer is trying to navigate it...
In an ideal world, we would have both network and streaming, but with NBC Sports no longer around, it's not ideal right now.

But if you think NBC is sitting around scheming on how to rake in the profits, it's not SX & MX that they are giving much (any) thought to.
Peacock being the primary home for moto is likely because NBC would rather show other things on their "real" channels at those times.
The convenience of Peacock has been awesome and I've paid for it even though I still have a cable package. I worry about what will happen in 2023 when the NBC deals run out and moto goes elsewhere.
