Breaking News: Daytona 500 live on premiere

am 5. From on 5 February 2008 at 17:47 │ Comments {4}

UPDATE 20:44 clock: There are now the premiere of confirmation that it is transmitted only the Daytona 500th All other runs used in this and next year with one day delay from the can. I guess that the European live / exclusive rights that are still available. So if a sender and a little money ... No, seriously. The thing was a failure on the money. I guess that NASCAR wanted to have more than last year because the appeal of the series is increased, but this premiere was not willing, in view of the forthcoming negotiations on the Bundesliga rights. Well, on the one hand it's nice that at least a little premiere shows, on the other hand, it is of course sad that the race at least by today's state can no longer see them live. However, there is still a very small chance that NASN Europe after the loss of UK rights kicks in after all. But that is really very low, because you can not complete the NASCAR show live. If NASN would decide in the fall between the NFL and NASCAR, you can imagine, where there are priorities. Live is to get the NASCAR in the next two years, probably only indirectly.

Just flapping in here: According to a report from MS-total.com premiere at least the Daytona 500 will be transmitted live. All other races are scheduled at least a 60-minute summary for each of the following Monday! However, the race has not yet appeared in the preview program.

Should the vote, but this just premiere probably once a little time. When awarding the rights to Sky, it was only so that it was said that Sky Sports will broadcast the Daytona only 500th May well be that they made up for the Daytona 500 again. But it is not excluded that it remains at this. It is gratifying, however, that when it comes to NASCAR debut but what does. Not be excluded that the mail has brought many to the customer and to other places something. So next email!

The Budweiser Shootout next weekend we will have to look elsewhere.

UPDATE: It may well be that there was a bidding war between the "Premiere" and "NASN" there. On the one hand, I gather from the linked article, in the stands:

The exclusive contract with 'Sky Sports' touches the continental scenario, because 'NASN' for the UK and Scandinavia has its own signal. Currently, efforts are still there to clarify this issue, as has been compared to 'Motor-Total.com' insured again.

On the other hand, there still remains the question of where NASN Europe wants to put the NASCAR übertragungsmßig. It may happen that one gets the rights, but the race until the following day "as-live" broadcasts. Interestingly, the solution with the Daytona 500 is always right, because it shows that the negotiations are not yet at the end. Would be interesting to know what AB Moteurs is now in hand. If only the Daytona 500 have, I would imagine that NASN in the background to the European rights to it actually is. It remains complicated.

Petition for NASCAR stock car-News for more transmission

Over at the boys of stock car news can get a petition signed. Sense: you want to show premiere, that there are enough fans out there who want to see the NASCAR continues.

Meanwhile, I received a mail with the link (thanks Christopher!), That the Sky package may well buy in Germany. Is behind the offer of TCP that after what I can see to be too serious seems. The fun is not exactly cheap, because the bundle set for Sky Digi Box including Sky card must be 449 euros on the table. Whether the price even the necessary subscriptions are included, has not tapped me on the website, but I guess: no. In addition, of course, that the offer only applies to people with satellite dish, as Sky Sports is not represented in the German cable network, as far as I know.

However - I would wait a subscription yet. That costs a lot of money and the question of whether non-premiere but still transmits the serial is not definitively settled. This is also indicated an e-mail, the Forum of digitalfernsehen.de was posted . So far, so that the Swiss pay-TV "Teleclub" took over the NASCAR broadcasts of Premiere. When asked by an onlooker says Teleclub:

Unfortunately, we were quickly told Premiere that the final license negotiations with NASCAR this season has not been completed and thus no race can be shown via Premiere and therefore also on Teleclub. We apologize for this fact very much, especially since we can not assure you that the race will be shown at a later date. We hope that will premiere this regard are still to a successful conclusion

Apart from the fact that you also want those answers from the hotline would premiere - the magic word here: "short term". Something seems to have gone wrong in the negotiations between NASCAR, ESPN and Permiere. And not until just before the conclusion of a supposedly secure agreement that Premiere could have been really surprised. Dogfood colleague of everything except sports suspected in a comment here that Premiere did not want any more attention to the block every Sunday evening with an option motor sport, but NASCAR is in each case on it. Premiere earns more but with pay-per-view debut on "direct" than with the NASCAR crowd on Sunday evening and it was precisely at 20.00 clock entries for individual films are likely to be highest. NASCAR would disappear, would be an option for Premiere Direkt longer available. It may also be that NASCAR has bolted out of the short-term rates after that has obviously worked with Sky as well.
