As the Rolex 24 gets more popular, NBC is showing fewer hours of it. This year is just ridiculous with the number of hours they've shifted to Peacock-only.

streaming is where the money is,,,,,,,,regular (Free)TV is starting to fade away...........I guess even 5 mins of commercials at a time ain't enough to keep it going......."What's in your wallet?"..............besides less money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The genii who lead the networks are under a lot of pressure to provide only approved viewing material. The concepts of competition and perseverance do not really fit the narrative that they wish to prescribe.

However, there are a growing number that are learning to appreciate the value of such ideals. And they will follow racing wherever it is broadcast and learn to leave the old networks to crumble, decay, and one day become mere mentions in history.

Congrats to these teams and Ford. Looking forward to this years race season and the excitement that it will bring.

They're all trying to push their streaming services, and auto racing (sports car racing in particular), even as much as we crave it, is really the perfect product to push over to streaming. Sports is the only type of reality show I'll ever watch.

The positives are that many of the races we all want to see we can now see live instead of waiting 2 weeks to watch many of the stronger support races like the Michelin Challenge. Plus it has enabled us to watch many race Series that often in years past were only available many months after they were run, so for racing fans it is hard to complain. Those of us who used to wait around for the " Wide World of Sports " to show a brief highlight show of a race that might have been run a month before are actually fairly pleased we have some resources now to see aa myriad of races. I liked having racing available on the conventional Stations, but when Peacock starting picking up the smaller support races like the Mustang Challenge Series , it made it valuable to me and for the first time that I can remember I have enough racing on the tube to keep me satisfied almost year round!

The real races are the ones you run on the track, in your heart, in your soul, those are the races that count the most.............the rest are just spectator sports

I've actually been pretty impressed with the racing shown on some channels lately - lots of GT and sports car racing coverage. We've come a long way from the old Speedvision days, though I do miss some of the lawn mower races they used to air. We might be a little spoiled now when looking back to the early 2k's and before.

USA Network has 4 hrs Sat afternoon

USA Network has 4 hrs Sat afternoon

True, but the rest of the race time is mostly 9-1-1 and Law & Order reruns on USA, and over on CNBC it's American Greed reruns and infomercials. A few years ago, NBC channels had something like 20 of the 24 hours live. Then NBCSN went dark and a lot of the endurance race hours got pushed to Peacock. They have the ablility to air the entire 24 hours of the Rolex between NBC, USA, and CNBC, they just don't want to. They want to force fans to subscribe to Peacock.

All the Dakar coverage is now only on Peacock as well - no more nightly 1/2-hour highlights on a cable channel. At least one of the IndyCar races (Toronto?) was only on Peacock last year.

I don't want to watch a race on a little screen with crappy speakers, I want to watch it on my big TV. And I'm already paying a ridiculous amount of money to my cable provider, who then pays NBC, for those stupid reruns on USA and CNBC.

They used to stream the entire 24 hours on IMSA TV, but as I type these words IMSA TV is dark with just these words showing:

Only Available To Stream In The United States On Peacock Premium​

That's pretty stupid thinking, there's an entire world out there and apparently they figure it's not important. Which is one reason why IMSA will always be the poor 2nd cousin to WEC.

Whatever.

If they don't want people outside the US watching that's fine, I'll remember that when IMSA brings their half of a show to Mosport this summer. They want a hundred bucks a head to watch a race with no GTP class cars? I think I'll probably have to cut my lawn that day.

Gettin' pretty tired of IMSAs foolish games.

 

[Bill Pemberton]

I resubscribed at Peacock since there is alot of good racing on there, including watching our buddy " Quick Nick " ( Black Boss ) running in the Mustang Challenge Series. Good race so far with the Blue Ovals staying in the top 5 most of the time , with stints at Numero Uno!

That's strange - I went to IMSA TV just now (2:30PST Saturday Jan 25 2025) and it worked fine for me.

Eventually, with a lot of fooling around, I got it to work. No idea why, prolly some problem on my isp's network. Hopefully it will still work in the morning.
