They would lose handle if they went exclusive and got rid of TVG because of the asinine Monopoly ADW's have in some states. Now if Fox was able to get in bed with say the Fan Duel's and/or Draft Kings and bring a Horse Race wagering (Regular ADW not Fantasy based) offering AND was able to spend the money to Open up all markets allowing multiple ADW's to then that is a completely different story. They could be a one stop shop for all things sports betting/fantasy and do it much better than TVG. Overall though it is a good thing for us as NYRA produces a better show than TVG and I wouldn't have to get on Roku to watch Hi Def which is a pain when I am flipping back and forth between other sports...

I wasn't suggesting they would take the signal away that would be insane just that I am never watching TVG again save the odd stakes from another circuit

Actually NYRABets has now gone into Pennsylvania. Intend to sign up, but looking for a good promo. The app is something I use on my tablet and PC and is HD. I do get HD on my TV when they are on FS2 on Belmont,Saratoga,Aqueduct Live. I have TVG and TVG2, but neither are in HD. I read that TVG is on to a good number of providers, but not a lot of HD. Most channels I can see in regular or HDTV, not TVG. Wouldn't think it would be that hard. TVG is an HD signal and the cable providers just shrink it.
