TV for 2009/2010???
 

As most of you know, I am a sponsored based team and continuously work to get them. I am close on a primary and have several associates lined up and I was curious as to what television is confirmed for the upcoming season within the three major associations.

Most of the rejections I have received in the past was due to lack of television. The primary I am working with is requiring reaching 80 million homes and is very interested in buying commercial time. As much as I know it would benefit my two boats, I know this knowledge could help several others get back onto the race course. I am also very aware of the streaming video that is offered via "SuperCat Racing.com" and Reggie's network, but this is not the direction they want to go in.

Thank you for your time and in advance for your responses.

Trent, we took a shot at it with the help of Haggin. Not enough return for the investment. Off network is less expensive, but not much more exposure than internet.
Still trying, but big Bucks. Smitty

Trent,

We will have TV again for most races this year. Biloxi will be shown to 80+ million homes and we are no longer part of a Reggie show. Just a half hour of OSS racing.

You should join the Pro/Am fleet in Biloxi. Give me a call to discuss. 732 552 0669.

Thanks

Smitty you r so right it is a HUGE cost to do TV the right way.

Trent,

Sorry I missed your call today, my phone was on the desk, and I was elsewhere, I realized when I got halfway to Boca I left it at work, I'll call ya tomorrow.

internet is the #1 entertainment in the world. who watches tv any more these days

That's right. Sponsors need to be educated--they will get better-targeted, more cost-effective exposure on streaming web networks. More and more people are watching online - places like Hulu, etc. A lot of the online networks are hungry for content - and the world of offshore racing - from the boats to the babes to the lifestyle, offers plenty of eye-candy.

You still need quality media production, but there are more people being trained to do that every day.
