Just makes things easier. With GP and SA already on HRTV and now OP, really the FG is the only reason to watch TVG at all in the winter and some of their cards are less than spectacular. My TV will be tuned to HRTV until April.

TVG is WAY better than HRTV in my opinion. I'm really disappointed that SA, GS and now Oaklawn is being shown on the latter.

TVG does have Northfield Park, so take that HRTV

If you like hosts who babble endlessly about their selections and P4 tickets, TVG is the channel. I prefer HRTV where the hosts realize the program is about racing, not them.

Actually I think TVG gives better coverage of the horses in the paddock and I do like Lyon's sense of humor. All personal preference of course.

Jeff Siegle (spelling) is the best handicapper on either HRTV or TVG. The Quarters is the best show that TVG has. I will say that TVG does go to the track and international tracks and it is good to see the broadcast from where they are. Both have good and bad sides, but it sure is better than having to drive to the OTB to watch a race.

According to the TVG website, Oaklawn is still listed as one of their tracks...

I've got TVG, HRTV, and Capital OTB. As long as the races are on at least one of the three then I'm happy. I've done everything possible to cover myself from missing anything.

I emailed TVG this morning and here is the response I was given.

"Thank you for contacting TVG! Right now we are still in negotiations to have Oaklawn and have no news yet if any agreement has been met."
