NASCAR Iiks a $7.7 billion TV deal. This deal looks to be a landmark deal for the the future of the sport, but that future is certainly in question. There will be more cable, more streaming, and a lot less free network TV that NASCAR fans live off of. While the money is nice, we look in depth at this deal and how it will change the sport forever. Will this help or hurt the fans???

Are you a fan of this new NASCAR TV deal?
i’ll rate it a 8
Yes,I’m hyped for Nascar TV deal
I like it, but the one thing I don’t like is how we have to switch four times!
The tv deal is great but its a gigantic mess of channels happy for tnt returning though
While I’m for the new deal, I’m not a fan of needing multiple streaming services just to watch the entire cup series
Yeah me to
I agree just watch YouTube on Tuesday without the commercials
I hate the streaming crap!
Ah yes, the 7 year deal from 2025 to 2021.
Wtf lmao
Bahahahaha
This only makes sense to nascar executives
I’m personally extremely happy that they’re entering the streaming game. As someone who cut cable years ago because of cost this gives a legitimate way to stream races and frankly, I wish more races were multicast to streaming services.
Yeah, but they picked the worst service provider to do so. They could have done a deal with Hulu, Tubi, or Sling. Prime is way too expensive these days
Yea, as long as you know, as soon as most people are streaming, the price will be the same as cable.
@@S.K.R.E.Inc. idk i think prime is the best one, most people in the country have it
They’re being greedy and stupid keeping their hands in both pots – streaming and cable. They need to make people pick streaming only- not suffer with both or pick one. It’s asanine.
I’m not watching any of them. I think I’ll try Floracing and watch anything but NASCAR.
I’m on the fence. If all NBC/ USA races get simulcasted on Peacock (like they do for Indycar / IMSA), then I’m leaning on liking it.
I agree with the video’s sentiments that they needed to either do more of a status quo tv / cable deal or go heavier into streaming. If the NBC affiliated races get simulcasted on Peacock it then it becomes a better deal.
Basically, Fox becomes more CRINGE and leaves us antenna viewers in the dust, TNT will ruin themselves for the 3RD TIME IN A ROW, and NBC may ace it if they have everything simulcasted on Peacock, because for us antenna viewers, this is degrading. Only 9 races we’ll be able to watch, 19 if you have any streaming service (Prime, Hulu+HBO addon, Max, Peacock), this is just abysmal. Streaming has become the new cable with these price hikes
NBC already said only a handful of races will be on Peacock.
@@AndyMarquis thanks for the info.
And that kind of stinks.
I’m not a fan of this package deal but I can remember back in the 80’s and 90’s when the races would change week to week from CBS, ABC, ESPN, TNN, TBS, and TNT.
TNT being back with the cup series is an awesome move. The cup series moving to Prime is interesting.
Not if you remember the halfarsery that they pulled in 2007-2014
As a Canadian who uses TSN I see this as an absolute win
P I N T Y ‘ S
Hey! Another Canadian NASCAR fan!!
As of now, I think this is a terrible idea because its just more damn streaming services I’m gonna have to pay for. I’m a young fan, and I want all NASCAR content, to be on one streaming service. The best way to get young fans in like me is to stream on Peacock TV, which I have had no issues with. Thats how you earn money.
Or just make their own all in one service
Plus just because Thursday Night football is on Twitch doesn’t mean NASCAR will be on Twitch. The reason the NFL is on Twitch is because the other networks didn’t want Thursday Night football.
With their leadership, NASCAR’s streaming service will BOMB. The best bet they had is make the 1st half exclusive to 1 streaming service (Hulu would be the best bet as it’s one of the cheapest and has access to a massive platform audience, from phones to the Nintendo Switch), the 2nd half is all NBC, with a simulcast on Peacock. But no, we get this… junk heap
As good as it would be for fans, this wouldn’t bring in the money NASCAR needs to keep the Race Team Alliance happy and would have given NBC a lot more leverage in pricing. Big winner imo is the Xfinity Series getting an all-broadcast + free streaming deal on one channel.
I think that in some aspects (like Amazon Prime and HBO Max), it’s a step in the right direction. In other aspects however, it is a step in the wrong direction (increase in cable instead of more mainstream FOX and NBC).
CRINGE is just CRINGE at this point, they’re basically on the downfall, and after seeing 90% of their new programming getting cancelled this year (no good ratings), they’re struggling. NBC may have a shot if they simulcast every single one of their races on Peacock
I like options. I can only watch races via over the air with an antenna, or on my phone or computer with Peacock (which is thankfully CHEAP). I have no way to get cable in my bedroom so no FS1, no NBC Sports, etc.
I would love to have it all be simultaneously broadcasted to allow for all options without the risk of blackouts (Bally Sports with the Cincinnati Reds).
I am a bit disappointed that I need to have multiple streaming services to watch these races, and some I don’t want to get JUST to watch the races, but to have options as things change in the landscape, is good.
As an older and LOOONG time watcher of NASCAR (since the mid nineties), I am unsure how I feel about the constant switching of races. It used to happen alot long ago and I remember being so frustrated trying to find the race. I’m all for the streaming deal as I still keep up with technology, but this back and forth is my biggest issue.
They’ll list the exact channel for the race. All you have to do is a quick check.
As silly as it’s going to sound,my biggest concern is not being able to record the races while they are prime. Will a replay be available on Prime? Will it replay on TV later in the week?
they replay the Thursday night nfl games on demand so id assume it’ll be the same
Any live content can be replayed on Prime Video after the fact.
You should fix the 7 year deal being from 2025 – 2021. But, to get more to the meat, I agree that it’s going to be more challenging to find Cup races. But, I think you’re missing something by saying it’s moving races to Cable”. Most steaming services also offer these channels, so your use of the term “Cable is not quite right. Fubo will have to start offering Turner, but assuming they do, races will be available on several streaming platforms besides traditional Cable. And Xfinity races will now all be over-the-air.
I remember the 2001 deal, the biggest selling point was that almost all races would be on broadcast tv. Strange how it’s flipped back.
xfinity is all on braodcast and they’ll embarrass the cup numbers in time.
@@chrisw443no it won’t lmfao no one watches The CW…
NASCAR is the only professional sport where calling the media deal “confusing” is acceptable. It’s not confusing, pull out your phone and look up where the race is just like every other fan of every other sport does.
It’s just going to be confusing and frustrating for some fans. We’ll have to get used to it of course but I think it’s going to be ok
Not at all because NASCAR post the weekend schedule on social media and even doing a Google search can tell you what needed to know or jaysky’s
All I hope is tsn here in canada picks up the rights to air the tnt portion kinda like how they do for fox and nbc now. I really like the prime aspect. Especially how they will cover practice and qualifying the first half. It’s been a couple years since having practice and qualifying broadcast in canada
I think you are spot on, I fall in the under 30 category who has never, not once in my adult life owned traditional cable services. I found that YouTube TV is great for Nascar, I can watch Race Hub along with all 3 different Nascar series’. Sometimes, you can even catch the Arca races. I am fine with the switch to Prime, but like you said, too many networks will be confusing to some. I dont like the idea of having to go online and search each week where I can watch the race. I would like to see Fox/FS1 own the first part of the year and Prime take over the last half. Plus the AWS stats they have during the football games is cool, I hope we see that with Nascar too.
