I'm guessing that's the case for a lot of other people too, because besides hockey what else does the channel have to offer? So if it was carried on ESPN, you might possibly gain some viewers who stumble across it as opposed to NBC Sports network. I know it's a real stretch, but I just feel like it has a better chance of picking up viewers (and being seen by advertisements) on ESPN, then on NBC sports.

Getting racing developed on the NBCSports network is a good thing. Comcast bought 51% of the entire network fom GE and Comcast is looking to invest in the new face of the Sport Network it could be very good news for racing. Lets say they do well with this and then start to partner with NYRA for SPA andthe fall Championship stuff.
