Speed Channel is dedicated to Motorsports, I agree. Reality Racing is not a motorsports show, it is a Reality TV show. NASCAR can't get more than 80,000 people in the stands for their races here at Cali Speedway, in the 2nd largest market in the country. "they don't care about NASCAR" I would prefer to have the 'wider option' of getting RRGI in front of a larger, non-motorsports group, for successful ratings and viewers, then putting it on a network that limits itself to only motosports. You catch way more 'fish' with a net, then a line.
1st tier Networks are broadcast Networks like ABC, FOX, NBC, you can get them over the air with rabbit ears, or they are offered without exception on every cable system (it is Federal Law) and is called (must carry) ESPN is a 2nd tier network like FX, Sci-Fi and MTV and SPIKE. That means that most if not all cable systems and satellite offer it in their basic cable package. You can receive those networks without getting your cables system digital package. 3rd tier networks like Speed, Water Channel, Fuel, the BOX, G4 are only available on digital cable and are offered in various packages that may or may not be included in different pay plans. That is why, ESPN is available in 100 million homes on cable and FOX Sports Net is only in 60 million cause FOX Sports Net is on Digital. Fuel another 'sports network' is only in 24 million homes cause it is on a different digital price package. So, RRGI on SPIKE will have an opportunity to be seen in 100 million homes with cable and the 'Other Show' on Speed will get a chance to be seen in 40 million homes. That was the comparison I was making.
