I think it is beyond funny that you believe you are getting the truth from media that must suck up to NASCAR to get access to their content. The unvarnished truth will come from those that do not cover the big guy and need him…

It is ALWAYS doom and gloom until the hemorrhaging of fans/viewers stops, and it has not yet…

Discernment:

1: the quality of being able to grasp and comprehend what is obscure : skill in discerning


2: an act of perceiving or discerning something

Knowing that Jayski and other NASCAR news sites have accurate stats and news is knowledge, understanding that they get that info by sucking up to the big dogs and if they did investigative reporting into financial and other topics that may hurt NASCAR, the tracks, or the teams they would lose that access is discernment.

NASCAR media is there to report on NASCAR events and success of both NASCAR and the NASCAR media are tied together. Financials and media are more likely to be covered by, wait for it, financial media and media that cover media. Yes, the very media you want to brush aside as not knowing anything about NASCAR is best equipped to cover NASCAR finance and media (which includes numbers of fans)…

Not if they have ANOTHER 8% drop like this year.

Nascar's season opening Daytona 500 has recorded its third-lowest audience figures in history, with the Fox broadcast only beating out the rain-delayed events of 2020 and 2021.

• Average of 8.17 million viewers tuned in on Fox, an eight per cent decrease on last year
• The six lowest audiences for the Daytona 500 have occurred in the last six years
• Viewership peaked at 10.1 million viewers
• 2023 Daytona 500 did average its highest household share since 2016, with 15 per cent of the national audience

The Race is SOLD OUT….

What does this have to do with the millions of TV viewers?

 

[greg]

If they can’t buy tickets and go to race they will have to watch TV….. or find a gun site and complain!

Surprise…Surprise….Surprise…..

NASCAR lands $7.7B in media rights deals…..​

[JCSR]

5 races on Amazon Prime then 5 Races on TNT

Surprise…Surprise….Surprise…..

NASCAR lands $7.7B in media rights deals…..​

Not sure what the surprise is? We already knew most of it. The good is an inflation adjusted increase. The bad is they only locked it up for 6 years instead of the 10 they had been getting. The other bad is it will be harder for fans to watch races I suspect Amazon’s interest is they know NASCAR fans may be a ripe group to increase members. Hope they share some of that with the teams to shore them up.

Everything is just fine I tell ya just fine.........

The drop in races available on over-the-air TV is significant given NASCAR teams' reliance on sponsor income to pay the bills. Sponsorship has been harder and harder to find in recent years as TV audiences have declined and costs have increased. Recognizable companies like Lowe's, M&Ms, Smithfield, Target and Home Depot have left NASCAR over the last decade while other brands like FedEx and MillerCoors have significantly cut back.

By putting more races on cable and televising five races via streaming-only, NASCAR is limiting the size of its audience. Races on cable typically draw fewer viewers than races on over-the-air TV and given NASCAR's older fanbase, it's reasonable to assume that the races available on Amazon will also draw smaller audiences, at least initially.

The 2023 season finale drew less than half the viewership the 2016 finale did. There does not seem to be any end in sight to NASCAR's declining TV ratings.
