Update on TVG and Churchill Downs video..
John Asher, VP Racing Communictions, Churchill Downs: “TVG currently has rights to offer wagering on races at Churchill Downs Racetrack during the Spring Meet and we have made a proposal that would provide the network with streaming rights and enable it to televise most of our track’s Spring Meet races. Exceptions include the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks, and Derby Week stakes races that will be televised by our national broadcast partners (NBC Sports/NBC Sports Network). We feel our proposal is reasonable and would benefit both parties, and it remains on the table.”

I don't blame Churchill for this. It's their agreement with NBC. If you want to take issue that is where it should be directed.
The "pay wall" for the Kentucky Derby is ridiculous. NBC needs to reconsider it.

As well documented on this forum...
I am not a fan of CDI. This is not their fault. This would be the standard under any agreement with a television network. They want record viewership and they believe, rightly so, that allowing other betting outlets outside of CDI would not be to their advantage and would hurt their bottom line. It's a reasonable decision. NBC is wrong about not offering the Derby online at no charge. NBC Sports has always been sub-par online, however. The issue lies with them

Lacking transparency when replays not shown. Check.
