Saturday East Bay Broadcast Discrepancy

[plunks7]

Man I sure hope they are broadcasting tonight. I just think dirt nation is just more then I want to pay. If Lucas doesn't broadcast tonight I guess I will se on dirt on dirt tomorrow morning.

Me too. I am done with DN!!!!!

I have personally dealt with Barry brown and xsan in 2010 even as far as having their logo on my race car he blatantly lied to me told me things that never came true and took advantage of the racers to get exposure for his product at the cost of the racers.Lucas Oil TV is the way to go Lucas Oil has done more for motorsports and third track racing then xsan will ever do

We are in no way trying to be deceptive or work up the fans.

For an example of a similar situation which can help everyone better understand this scenario, during the 70s, 80s, and 90s many of the television contracts for NASCAR were negotiated between the tracks and networks. Toward the end of the 90s, NASCAR worked with all parties and negotiated deals to combine the television rights and put them under the NASCAR umbrella.

At the end of the day, this is simply a matter of property rights - it's purely who contractually owns the right to stream video for a specific event. Back in the day, NASCAR didn't own the rights to broadcast on television, because the rights to televise weren't specified in their contracts with the tracks (or the rights were specified as owned by the tracks). The tracks worked deals with ESPN, TBS, CBS, ABC, NBC, and TBS.

If this is in the drivers rule book I expect there is something in the promoters as well

KAOS,

What your stating is true. but you're assuming their contract supercedes our contract, which isn't the case.

Our contract superceded all other contracts (by date). If you are truly curious about the legal term for this situation, it is "tortious interference."

I want to repeat, we're not trying to be "smart asses" or "weaselly." Barry and I started this business in 2010. We've had our ups and downs, like any small business. We've learned from our successes, and even more so from our failures.

Barry said it well:

"However you choose to watch (PPV, On Demand, Social Media) with whatever provider I thank all of you for being involved and helping this sport thrive with digital media. We broadcast racing because we love it."

What your stating is true. but you're assuming their contract supercedes our contract, which isn't the case. Wouldn't the contract of note being the one East Bay signed to bring LOLMDS there. Wouldn't this give Lucas the rights to broadcast and also you the rights to broadcast as well because of the earlier contract you signed. What ever the case good luck tonight

[plunks7]

Lets start with the price: ridiculous. Then the deal with Gustin. That's the start of so many name changes. Bills track record has a lot to do with it. Camera's are not the best.

[SnakeX3]

Well, the Lucas feed is live right now, so they're in.
