""According to NBC, more people watched the 2010 Derby broadcast than any Derby since 1989, with 16.5 million viewers. In 2010, both Churchill and NBC attempted to position the broadcast to attract more women viewers and non-racing fans by focusing on Kentucky culture and the celebrities that typically attend the Derby."
Oh boy. More rich women in hats. I was wondering why they never hunted me down in the infield for an interview.
“We’re excited to extend our relationship with the Derby and our business partnership with Churchill Downs, a partnership that is one of the finest examples of two organizations coming together to build an event,” said Dick Ebersol, the chairman of NBC Universal Sports and Olympics, in a statement.
"Build an event." That's insulting.
