Exceptions include the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks, and Derby Week stakes races that will be televised by our national broadcast partners (NBC Sports/NBC Sports Network). We feel our proposal is reasonable and would benefit both parties, and it remains on the table.”

Why the TVG exceptions when xpressbet,drf,nyra et al can show all streaming ? This is all BS by CD, i will bet much less because of it and loss of continuity.
. CD signal for the rest of the meet is a joke and not wanted .what a deal, ice in the winter. So much for industry cooperation to build the game.

I don't blame Churchill for this. It's their agreement with NBC. If you want to take issue that is where it should be directed.

The "pay wall" for the Kentucky Derby is ridiculous. NBC needs to reconsider it.

Totaly agree Benny. I even think the crappy Parx phonebet is showing Churchill.

The real problem here is that the suits involved in the process, both CDI and NBC, are more determined to draw the Housewives from wherever fans than the core bettor.

Well put. It reminds me of the saying of the PGA,

FOR THE GOOD OFF THE GAME. - Seems this is opposite of racing.

In the racing game, its HURRAY FOR US.

As well documented on this forum...

I am not a fan of CDI. This is not their fault. This would be the standard under any agreement with a television network. They want record viewership and they believe, rightly so, that allowing other betting outlets outside of CDI would not be to their advantage and would hurt their bottom line.

It's a reasonable decision. NBC is wrong about not offering the Derby online at no charge. NBC Sports has always been sub-par online, however.

The issue lies with them
