I don't think OP has handled 5.5 mil on a Saturday at any point this year. They haven't come close on any other day of the week. Oaklawn is a very weak simulcast signal.

Ever since Betfair bought TVG, the network has gone downhill. Seriously, they put more effort into Turfway and Hawthorne than they do Aqueduct right now. The evening broadcasts are a joke and seem to be only a filler until Los Al starts, well if you actually want to call it racing.

It also seems like they are shoving Schrupp and Lo Duca down our throats. The other Sunday they were on for 7 hours and must be on double than the other TVG talents.

Since that time Mountaineer, Beulah, Tampa, Sam Houston, River, Evangeline, Chicago Harness, and Tampa have been removed from air.

HRTV is no doubt superior to TVG.

Incredible as it seems Stronach is doing something right. Well, maybe he is doing something better than TVG.

How hard is that?

One too many networks. Two vultures fighting over scraps.

They are apparently gonna show the Tampa Bay Derby live, which tells me that TVG had the option all along to show Tampa this meet but chose not to bother with it.

I doubt it.
