Topeka broadcast

[Amy Niceswanger]

Hey guys,

I just talked to Leo Taugher in Topeka, and the audiocast that was lost yesterday was not the fault of NHRA. He said there is a third party that handles the broadcasting and when NHRA realized they had lost the broadcast, they tried to call to get the situation corrected but received no answer. Evidentally, the third party had closed for the weekend.

They are hopeful that it will be up and running this morning.

Hope this answers your questions.

IMHO....It's high time NHRA & ESPN need to cut a deal to put ALL of the National Events on XM RADIO !!
You could listen to it almost anywhere and if you have Direct TV you could listen over yout TV !!!!!!!!!!
I was told that ESPN would have to OK the deal.........dunno.....

Amen!

but if (thats a BIG IF) they would choose that way, i think they would be going to sirius, just because sirius already has an ESPN channel on there. (im not sure if they have one on XM or not)
