I've been trying to watch all the NASCAR races this year checking the crowds. What I've noticed:
* Many NACAR races are now being held at B level tracks.
* There are always empty seats - sometimes less than a thousand people in the stands.
* NASCAR ran a race this year in Lima, OH.
* NASCAR is no longer on Faux Noise.
* Junior is still running his National Guard recruiting machine ($32 million a year from the Department of 'Defense')
I have DirecTV for satellite cable.
* Movies on premium channels (HBO, Showtime, etc) are becoming 70s, 80s and 90s movies.
* More pro sports are showing on cable channels rather than non-cable TV.
* Reality TV (think cheap) is taking over everywhere. Lockup, Real Wives, 19 Kids and Counting, The Batchelorette, Cops ad nasum.
* Many non-cable TV stations now run ads into Saturday afternoon.
Basically the folks who provide this content are trying to cut costs. (Hope you like watching Dirty Harry on HBO.)
