did I hear today that NBC will be covering the GP net year?

Bob Varsha(sp) stays at SPEED and the other three go to NBC

NBC will likely broadcast and edited 1 hour version delayed on race day ... Qualifiying and practice are likely no longer broadcast

what a shame

.

I suspect that NBC will utilize their NBC Sports Channel, which is a relative newcomer to the cable spectrum. They've only been on my channel lineup since the end of the summer (with Post-Olympic coverage). But they've already carried major college basketball games (albeit in addition to hunting shows, and the like, sigh.)

I am hoping they'll be hungry and build out the non-NASCAR racing series. In fact, yesterday they had a (yes, edited and taped) Viper Cup series race from Virginia Intl. Color me optimistic and even have been hoping for them to sign onto WRC coverage next season. They have a real opportunity to brand themselves at this point.
