Hey guys,
I wanted to post a quick question about this weekend’s big motor sports events. As a little kid, every year I watched the Indy 500 on ABC broadcast before there was ever cable. And it was probably my teens when I discovered there was a race called the Monaco Grand Prix and that fascinated me. Especially after seeing the 1966 movie Grand Prix, I’ve enjoyed any opportunity to see that race.
I’ve never had cable and I don’t have any channels that I stream that carry sports, as far as I know. So I always watch the Indy 500 every year when it’s broadcast over-the-air live. I’d forgotten the Indy 500 is on NBC this year. So from looking at the TV Guide app’s listings, it’s airing this Sunday on NBC at 9:30am west coast time.
I’ve also seen a story on ABC that Formula One is now becoming big in the US. Kind of funny as it’s been so huge in the rest of the world, but I know that open wheel racing was limited to the US CART league for some time that did air some races on ABC. NASCAR is what has been big in the US. But the Indy 500 is the big one that airs every year.
So from what I can see, ABC will broadcast over-the-air the Monaco Grand Prix this Sunday morning at 4:30am West Coast time. And as I said above, NBC will broadcast over-the-air the Indy 500 starting at 9:30am. That will make for some great motor sports viewing all morning.
I wanted to ask you guys in the know, if i am correct to think both races are being broadcast free over the air? Or would I need to subscribe to one of the streamers to see both.
Thanks for your insights!
