Fewer Tuning In
"Most NASCAR tracks have had ediffibulties filloing seats this season, a fact
largely attributed to the sagging economy. But TV ratings, which shouldn't be
impacted by money woes, also have dropped off from last year.
Atlanta Motor Speedway's Kobalt Tools 500 poasted a 5.5 rating, down 14% from
last year's 6.4. The three races prior to Atlanta also showed declines,
according to numbers in a release from Fox, which broadcasts the early season
events this year: Overall, NASCAR viewership is down 11% from last year.
Fox cited two on-track trends for the decline-fewer lead changes and more
caution periods. The first four races have averaged 14 lead changes vs. 30 in
2008.
Fox also points out that this season's 6.7 average is still more than double the
rating of the NBA on ABC (2.8) and is reater than the combined ratings of the
NBA on ABC, NCAA basketball on CBS, and PGA golf on other broadcasters (5.8
combined)."
Now, granted folks, the last paragraph is an attempt to close out the article
with a "glass half full" approach, I dedicate this article to all of you who
have filled my inbox with poopie emails telling me I am wrong about on-track
competition. The national media has finally obtained the juevos to put it in
print. I make a comment regarding fewer passes causingless excitement, and you
deluge me with emails telling me I am wrong. Seriously folks, denial is not
just a river in Africa. Remember some time back when I submitted an article on
phantom cautions? That article actually gained a lot of support from you, the
reader. Tony Stewart was the first driver to go on record to mention something
about it, and now the national prints have taken the ball and run away. C'mon
people, when FOX goes on record to acknowledge those two facts, it is time
NASCAR listens. In the end, it will cost both A LOT of money. So, there you
have it. You can continue to send me your delusional emails, telling me I don't
know what I am talking about, but at least I know I have FOX on my side!
Now, if this is a sinking ship, my site is a g-damned submarine!
