I have to question the value of a racing radio broadcast. I would think
that an internet broadcast would be done to raise brand awareness and to
sell seats to an event. When a company starts charging to hear that
broadcast then it cuts the audience in half (at least) and is not able to
promote it's product. I understand that it costs money to put this thing on
the net, but is the point to make immediate money or is it a long term
investment. I would think it would be a long term investment. Promote the
product, sell your sponsors, recoup the costs in increased ticket sales.
To make a long story short, I agree with you. NASCAR and major league
baseball are losing sight of the long term health of their product in
exchange for immediate profits.
Shh, Rik!
Heh, I saw Tim's post in there, so I got to hear the 50/50 race/commercials
broadcast just fine, but many thanks for the heads up, bud....

Trying to make a PROFIT???? The dirty rotten un-American bastards!! <g>
MLB got $10 from me last year, and when there's no way I can hear my Cubs on
any local station here half a country away, it was the cheapest
entertainment deal I've had since GPL. Same won't be true for me for
Nascar, but it will be well worth it to some folks.
