Ferrari Mailing List: F1 on Speed

[Rick Lindsay (rolindsay]

Hello old Friends,

With Bernie-Vision switching from SpeedTV to NBC (or NBC Sports) for 2013, I 
fear my following of F1 may come to a close (after 15 years of religious 
following).  The issue here is not anything against NBC, other than the four 
big networks' propensity for hate-TV (Vote the bastard off!!!, Cheat on your 
Wife and WWF).  The issue is that I live in south Texas, and Sunday morning TV 
in Texas is church.  If F1 is shown at all on the NBC affiliate, it will be 
delayed broadcast - unless it interferes with football.  Now if we're talking 
about some NBC Sports network, I probably won't get it at all as I have no 
sports channels on my TV service.

Forgive the rant, please.  This is just another Bernie-induced cock-up.  
Bringing F1 back to America is not for Americans.  Its for the advertising of 
American brands in Europe and Asia.  After all, who watches F1 in America?  The 
FerrariLIST, FerrariCHAT and three guys who moved here from Germany.
