How do we feel now that it’s almost guaranteed that SX will be on NBCSN next year? Who will be the commentators?
Pretty sure Ralph said that he's the voice of Monster Energy Supercross during the Monster Cup press conference.

I'm curious why everyone wants to pay extra for an nbc sports gold package for supercross? The day practice and qualifying is streamed live on the site and the whole night program is live on one channel. It's not like outdoors where the benefit is seeing it live, no commercials all Moto, and not switching between two different channels. Why pay for something that already at your hands?
I get regular NBC but NBC Sports is not available from my TV provider. In fact I don't even know if NBC Sports is available anywhere in Canada.
The supercrosslive.com package that Feld/Cleeng was offering is overpriced and they weren't providing a great service. Plenty of people have experienced the same issues and all Cleeng did was say it was on the user's end and not their fault/services. Thankfully Feld moved away from them and hired a new company and from what I've read last night's race ran excellent.
I've personally paid for the NBC Sports Gold App ever since they started offering it to watch the MX races and I've been very satisfied with the product they've been offering. If that service becomes available for Supercross I'll gladly pay for it and I know plenty of other people around the globe will do the same.

It also gives you the option to watch the races when it's convenient for you. Fortunately for me the time difference at its worse is 3 hours for the West coast rounds but you have people waking up a 4am to watch the races. With the Gold App they wouldn't have to do that. They could wake up at normal hours and watch the races races during breakfast/lunch without having to wait until it reairs on TV if they even do. Sure there's the option to record the races on a PVR which allows you to watch them when you want and fast forward through the commercials but again you're missing out on some racing.
The Gold App is really geared for the hardcore fan that follows the sport. Casual viewers won't dish out money for the app so it won't be forced on anyone. The races will continue to air on television.
I should say. Much improved over last year. 1080p all night long. Never a hiccup. Airplayed from my iPhone to the Apple TV 55”.
