Yeah, NBC really does stand for Nothing But
commercials! Uhm, Liberty Who?
So the first NBC IndyCar Broadcast of the 2022
season is Done and Dusted, and I simply turned off Thy Telie’ after an Uber
Brief Winner’s interview shaking my Head over how neutered the TV Broadcast
felt to Mwah…
As I spent the next half hour after the
broadcast was Sliced ‘N Diced for a Golf Promo walking around thoust Bungalow muttering
how much I’m Not Impressed! As is this what I’ve waited All winter for? Oh,
what’s that Leigh diffey? Did you tell us 43 times how many Fans were Onhand?
And what’s your point there? Just trying to Sugar coat that everything in the
World’s Fantastic while the Rooskie’s’ are Obliterating Ukraine! Since am I the
only one to notice the irony of racing in Saint Petersburg…
While may be it’s just me? But what’s up with
the constantly fluctuating TV Volume? As I had to keep turning Up and Down my
volume level during the entire race! Especially during the opening portion of
the race.
Now Don’t get me wrong, as I’d much rather have Indy Cars on
NBC vs. ABC, but the whole broadcast just seemed overly Homogenized to Mwah! Just
a Very plain Vanilla feel…
As The Mayor ‘O Hinchtown’, aka James
Hinchcliffe is a very competent Announcer, who I’d definitely prefer in the
Booth over Kevin Lee! And James definitely
knows his “Craft,” but He’s just No Paul Tracy! And it just felt like Peat and
Repeat were in the Booth, with (Townsend) T-Bell and Hinch’ going back
‘N forth along with the Moderator Diffey…
Marty Snyder, Kevin Lee and Dave Burns were the
Pitlane Reporters and were fine, even if I’m really Not a Fan of Any of them, especially
Dave Burns. As the only one who gave us some Amusing interaction between
Himself and the Booth was Kevin Bantering with Townsend! And lookie’ Thar Mum’,
I Didn’t even call Kevin the Werewolf this time, Chuh-Ching!
Yes, I totally understand that it’s a Business
decision, and solely predicated on what makes the Most Profit for the Deathstar
Comcast, who owns NBC! But I say you Cannot Bitch one single measly time about
Reaping what Yuhs sew IndyCar!
So Put A Sox in It Penske Entertainments No. 1
Puffed shirt Mark Miles! I Do Not want to Hear Any Bellyaching about Ratings
dip or Revenues being Down due to being Greedy and Selling Out to Comcast and
it’s cock A ‘lil dudu Peacock Streaming service…
Now I’m fully aware that we cannot compare
IndyCar to RASSCAR’, but you’ll Never be Nothing more than a Niche Sport if you
continue Hiding your product on Hard to View platformes! As Funny How Fox
manages to find time and has enough channels to Show Qualifying on Cable TV.
As seriously Comcast? You cannot find 90mins
late evening on either USA Network or CNBC to show a “Canned” Tape Delayed
Qualifying Show? Oh Yeah, that’s right I forgot you’ve gotta run nine hours of
Law and Order reruns and Veg-O-Matic cooker Infomercials…
As Good Luck Pumping Up your remaining, loyal
Fan base! Since How Much “Excitement” and Social Media buzz was lost due to the
multitudes who Didn’t see Scott McLaughlin score his maiden IndyCar Pole, Eh? I mean how much “Buzz”
was there as a lead-in for Sunday’s race on Big NBC?
But what IndyCar should be most Disappointed by,
and NBC and Comcast should be embarrassed over, albeit they probably Don’t give
a Royal Fuck over as long as the Wire Transfer arrives ahead of time…
But Seriously IndyCar? You let yourselves be
Cut Off from hosting your traditional Half Hour Post race “Debrief” by a Canned
30mins PGA Tour Documentary highlighting “Greatest moments in Golf,” Whiskey
Tango Foxtrot!
Just totally inexcusable! Like I get the 429
Commercial Breaks during the two Hour race window, but Not having the time or
wherewithal to interview the other two Podium finishers is just plain Stupid! Not
to mention having time to talk to a few other drivers of the Day.
As you’re Never, ever gonna build this Fan base
you claim to so desperately covet if you Don’t give the Drivers, who are the
Stars after All! Proper Mainstream Media exposure!
C’mon Comcast, NBC and IndyCar, Pull your collective Arses out of yourBums and give us back our traditional three Hour IndyCar race Broadcast window!
