The network that pulled us in to all things auto racing, has been shelved by its parent network, Fox, and has now become Fox Sports 1.
Oh goody.
FS1 promises to continue to deliver our NASCAR content, but now it will be delivering other sports as well.
Maybe this is a good thing.
No, not for us, the viewing fan. But for the sport of NASCAR. Let me explain this idea I'm working on about supply and demand.
When SPEED was up and running, we had content all day long, 7 days a week. And I'd be willing to bet that the content was dilluted because it was on so often. And when it's on so often, folks are not so inclined to stay on top of it.
It's like a TV show season. Everyone piles in for the premiere and the finale episodes, but they fade from the episodes in the middle of the season. But as the show is coming to a close, or has a fresh and new start, they pile in.
So maybe, with auto racing being diminished in its coverage, possibly more folks will tune in when it's available.
The EPSN TEST
There's my above theory and also, I can't wait to see if Fox pre-empts pre-race shows and other content for little league games and reality TV shows, or if we'll actually get our content, as we'd like to, as promised in our TV schedules.
