Is there really a point to have any racing channels here in the states anymore?
HRTV doesn't show evening races except for a couple of nights and no Tuesdays, TVG refusing to show tracks for apparent money reasons. Today they didn't come on air until 2:15pm.

Some one mentioned the idea of a merger between the two, but that's highly unlikely, considering they are competing of their respective ADW business, and a merger of both would trigger a prolonged FCC (OH NOES, MONOPOLY!!) investigation until the feds get paid off.
I haven't seen Dec '11 over Dec '10 handles figures, and I'm sure it's down a little (I can say that the on track attendance for each of the first 3 Saturdays appears noticeably lighter this year, but don't have those figs either). At the end of the day, it's TVG's move - they can't survive without handle - both from the perspective of an ADW and as a broadcasting entity. I doubt advertising revenue from the "Forever Lazy" people keeps the lights on. Tampa seems committed to their live streaming and daily replays available directly from the homepage of their site - we'll see after a few more weeks who can and who can't live without each other. PS - I never received a response back from TVG to my reply to their form letter answer.
