Churchill, Magna in Joint Ventures That Include TV, Simulcasting

Whoever is running things at that network deserves to be homeless. To risk losing CDI tracks just so you can profit off of international racing is utterly retarded. It makes me wonder if anyone at the network can do simple math.

PP,

TVG may not have really factored into the deteriorating scenario as CDI seems to have been moving in their own direction for a while.. There have been rumors of a CDI betting platform/broadcast enterprise/project for at least the last 2 years.

Yeah but CDI didn't really go their own way considering they bought half of HRTV and are sharing their signals with Magna and vice versa. I'm not a lawyer but it seems TVG could've struck a similar deal with CDI and shared, at least, their exclusives with twinspires.com.

I'm just really questioning the lack of vision the powers that be at TVG have. Without Magna and CDI tracks they've got very little to offer and potentially won't have the money to outbid their competitor when TVG's contracts with other tracks end.

TVG is SCREWED. www.twinspires.com will get my action based on the fact that I am guessing their reward program will be like Arlington's, and I will be able to wager using them while ON TRACK at Arlington.

I actually don't think Youbet is in trouble at all because they are a 3rd party in all of this. They have a half way decent relationship with Magna already and CDI. They are actually the OFFICIAL wagering platform of the Kentucky Derby.

That being said, odds on TVG talent showing up on HRTV??

Well since TVG is already available to over 20 million households (could be people, not gonna bother to double check) i'd say chances are CDI/Magna will buy TVG.

I hope so.
