I was just starting to enjoy hockey, mainly because I didn't have to be bitter about them constantly pre-empting horse racing with regular season NHL games (usually live horse racing stuff which is ridiculous, who schedules two live events back to back like that when you know the first will run over?) I figure our folks are good about bringing live programming in at an hour or whatever is allotted. It's not like horses go from taking under a minute to taking 15 minutes to finish a race. They've got it down to a science and I think they should just let them do it live to tape and air it intact later, even if it's just bumping it back 30 minutes. What particularly gets under my skin is pre-empting for Little League baseball.
I wouldn't be so upset about the Barbaro thing if they just tell me when they'll reair it. I want to get this puppy on DVR and I want to enjoy the beautiful weather outside. What I don't want to do is assume it's gonna reair later, have them push back local news instead, and not know it so I miss it. PS. Ok what did they just say about a game 5 and the Derby? So help me, if they pre-empt any part of the Derby coverage I'll have to hurt them. They just assume the stuff before post-time is all fluff...it matters to fans. It's official, my newly acquired interest in hockey is now gone. And after what they've been doing to shows like Studio 60 and the jerking around of Friday Night Lights, well, NBC can bite me.

There's no way thay'll pre-empt any of the derby stuff for game 5 in my opinion. . . The triple crown is probably the only time they view airing racing as lucrative. . .

In case anyone missed the announcement, the special will be shown on May 4th in the evening. It can also be purchased on nbcsports dot com and the proceeds go to the Barbaro Fund.

They're just trying to fit in with every other network that prempt, cancels or back burners horse racing. ESPN is still the king of dropping the ball on horse racing.
