Damn it. Now I need to get my hands on a Amazon prime broadcast
Alot of people complaining about the new coverage, i think its a good thing, alot of people have prime or the streaming services and if they dont, theres other “legal” ways to watch it on twitch or YouTube
I think it’s a great thing. Cable is dying a lot more quickly that some people here are admitting and NASCAR needs to move on as quickly as possible
@@lpbbincwhy not dual broadcast for a bit? This is going to kill almost all of their audience. Only the biggest diehards will go behind an extra paywall. Especially multiple paywalls per season. Outrageous.
@@lpbbinc Streaming is just morphing into the new cable at this point. With the announcements of the Disney+, Max and Hulu bundle and now the Netflix, Comcast, Peacock and Apple TV bundle, its just getting us right back to a cable like system. Its just how it will be delivered to you.
@@GenXRedneck420 i mean theres other ways to watch it, like i get it, its a overpriced service
I personally wish that Nascar had a single streaming partner… But i’m not gonna lie i’m excited. I wish there were simulcasting the whole season tho
I agree 100%, I wish NASCAR would have a single streaming platform. I would be happy to pay for that rather then Sling or Hulu type service in which neither would cover the season. If they had the season on one service I would sign in a flash.
@samuelkilianjr.3694 I think Amazon is the nest choice, especially since Hulu and Slice aren’t in available in alot of countries… using Amazon is casting a much wider net
should have done both TV and streaming simultaneously
Because Amazon probably offered them a ton of cash to do otherwise, but once Amazon realizes no one will watch it, they’ll drop them like a 10 ton brick.
Just wondering how much is the paywall
TV/cable is dying dude. Look at the raw numbers.
@@christopherlozada6411The paywall is however much Prime costs in your market.
That is the case for TNT/max
Amazon is looking after themselves
EmpLemon’s doc is goated
Yeah, this Prime doc could be great, but it will be tough to top Emp’s masterpiece (which btw was what got me into sports in early 2020)
Can we just get a nascar tv channel already? Like 1 app or something that I can watch everything on? All Series, All races, All qualifying, All practices in 1 spot! I’m 25, and I don’t wanna play musical chairs with this crap.
That’ll never happen. Corporate nascar is run by a bunch of tone deaf incompetent boomers that don’t think logically.
I agree
For real. I’m tired of having to pay for so many different things to watch one thing on each. It sucks.
Ive just gotten use to being stuck watching the highlights. Sucks that a good finish or something insane gets ruined by spoilers, but it is what it is
I agree, gets old weekly not knowing where to find the race at
Everyone discussing whether streaming or cable is the future of NASCAR, then there’s me who already watches every race for free commercial free (IYKYK).
Nacsar app?
Where?
@@colb5320NASCAR app does not stream the race.
Yar-har-fiddle-dee-dee
@@jaredchampagne2752 ad sports channel 2
What I say when something is streamed and I don’t have it is “Oh well, let me find something else to watch.”
Do you know about dd12 or lordlatifistreams?
Both sites all 3 national nascar series, plus main arca for free
And other racing series like wec,indycar etc
It’s Amazon Prime. You literally can’t do anything without it. Thursday Night Football has been a wild success.
I don’t think people understand how many households have Amazon prime. Waaaaay more people have Amazon than cable. I know a lot of people who don’t even have an antenna to get regular TV
Amazon for the most part also does an amazing job with everything it has. It puts its new shows and games front and center on the home page when you go on the app and advertises itself everywhere from YouTube to regular TV. It’s a great partner for nascar to have. Plus the docuseries may drive up some hype heading into the 600 if they release it in the right timeframe
I fall in to that “older” fan base. I’ve been a fan since the 70s. Well, now I’m reaching 70 and trying to pay for all this stuff is not in my budget. So……I’ve found i really like MRN and PRN. How long before they want me to pay for that? Ain’t gonna happen.
Streaming is going to leave many of us behind. The fans aren’t important it is all about money.
Maybe you need to figure out how to get with the times
the sport will die with its older viewers if it doesn’t evolve
Only 9 cup races on over-the-air broadcasts this year!
The average viewers who don’t have internet access are screwed!
Next year actually is when we only have 9 Cup races on either Fox or NBC.
How many “average viewers” don’t have internet these days? I imagine less than 1% of viewers.
Internet access isn’t the issue.
Prime worldwide: 230 million subscribers in 2024
Prime US: 171.8 million subscribers in 2024
Cable peak: 93.4 million now: 57.3 million
Max: 95.6 million worldwide
Max US: 54 Million
Amazon prime in the US has almost 100million more subscribers then Cable at its peak and that was in 2018, 6 years ago. Now over 100million more just in the US alone. With TNT and Max combined you get more available US viewers then ever. Positive in my opinion plus with streaming you open up worldwide numbers
is that counting consumers of prime video or just prime subscribers?
Prime won’t have the rights for international streaming. They have separate deals for those (I live abroad)
@enzoaliano2310 yeah like all races in Canada are on tsn
This is going to alienate a large portion of the fanbase..
Ah opens it up
may isolate the old and dying ones, but it opens it up to younger fans. it’s a move the sport has to make if it wants to survive
@@cosmicdisaster25 paywalls are a deterrent to expanding viewership. There are people that do not have prime and have no intention of subscribing for a single event that will have addl fees attached.
I got a gut feeling this is gonna make fans not happy I know some of us like myself may have to wait a day or two after the race happens. So I am not thrilled by it but will see.
As a guy who never misses a race. I’ve only seen one race this year. I’m starting to forget about Nascar.
Glad radio carries races. That’s free and they do a great job in my opinion.
so, I’ll watch next years 600 on the radio!
