Because I will not be able to watch next season unless I decide to pay more to get the sports tier on Comcast.

It makes no sense to me to intentionally move from the big network to one that is not in as many homes, Time slots, etc. are a function of the deal worked out between ESPN and NHRA. If ESPN was unwilling to give on the time slots, it is because they can make more money from women's softball than what they make from NHRA.

Give me MAV TV for the Sportsman, and I don't care what they do with the Pros. I rarely watch them on TV, anyway. I have watched way more IHRA Sportsman/Vegas Spring Fling/WFC on the internet than I have watched the Pro's on TV this year. Show me the NHRA national event Sportsman on the internet, shut the internet camera off when the Pros run and show it on TV, and I'd be happy.

I'm with Greg on this idea but I don't see two companies on same property cooperating with each other on this idea.

Mav may do good on sportsman type events but they are pretty limited in coverage. I added a package so I could get it on Dish then they got in a price disagreement now they are gone from dish. The local cable does not offer them at all.
