Ive been reading a lot of bashing on NBCs race coverage (fully enjoyed it too, glad theyre gone) but from what Ive read, most of the quotes are "TNT is so much better than NBC" Im just wondering if people really realize that the broadcast team is the same for both channels, and coverage is horrible on both channels too.
Can't wait til FOX comes back on the air. So glad NBC is gone, just wish TNT didnt have the 7 races next year.

yes ESPN is taking over for NBC and TNT, but TNT has signed, I believe, a multi-year agreement, to broadcast 7 races in the coming years. Im not sure what 7 races they are though, but theyll be the transition between FOX and ESPN

Yes. TNT has a slightly different format for the race. It's a race with commercials rather than the other way around.

NBC sold rights to certain races to tnt (when NBC had previous commitments).
The deal with ESPN has some of the same deal with TNT.
Yes for Fox!

Yeah, I just can't wait for "JAWS", (aka DW), to tell us how 'great' he was. The old saying is "the Older I get, the Faster I was", certainly rings true. Never liked him when was driving, just a little TOO GIDDY for the broadcast booth for me. Was really disappointed when ESPN gave up the NASCAR broadcasts, I always did think they were the best.
