TNT looking at no commercial breaks in 2007? UPDATE Pepsi 400 only?: Sports Business Journal reports that TNT is floating a package to potential advertisers that would allow advertising during the race broadcast and eliminate commercial breaks. The advertising would take place on the screen during the broadcast and allow continuous race coverage. TNT will broadcast six Nextel Cup races next summer. The story reports that officials from Turner and NASCAR would not comment. The story also reported that TNT's Cup ratings are down 8.3% from last season.(Roanoke Times)(10-18-2006)
UPDATE: hearing that the Pepsi 400 at Daytona will be shown with no commercials by TNT [in primetime] and the coverage will be sponsored by...Pepsi, but the other five races, as of now, will be shown with commercial breaks.(1-4-2007

Awesome. Might be going to that race though.

I need a break every once in a while from the race anyway, so it's not that big.

I'm most likely going to go. Right now I'm planning to go to Texas Motor Speedway, Kansas Speedway and I'm trying to go to Bristol or Richmond. I wanted to go to Las Vegas but I don't think I'll be able to go.

Me too. Something is better than nothing. And I'm sick of hearing about how we wouldn't have piss breaks. If you can't hold it for 4 hours, you need to start wearing diapers.

So should we wear something for the 4 hours of constant Bill Weber talkathon, too?

I'll probably go to the Day Bristol race too, and both Atlanta races and then the Pepsi 400....

UPDATE 2: TNT, for the prime-time July 7 Pepsi 400, wants to add some wrinkles. Trish Frohman, TNT executive vice president, hopes to enlist 12 advertisers — she says Pepsi, DirecTV and pain reliever 360 OTC are in — to air commercials, running up to two minutes, in about a quarter of the TV screen as race shots continue. Correction. Those "won't be commercials," says Frohman, but rather "branded content" that's "organic to the environment." Meaning, she says, that TNT's production staffers will work with advertisers to make ads — er, "content" — specifically for the race. TNT announcers, she says, will "absolutely" be "as engaged as anybody" in the effort. Which shouldn't surprise anybody. TV networks, paying millions or even billions for big-time TV rights, already seem like ad agencies for sports they cover. While Pepsi 400 coverage will still include local cable ads beyond TNT's purview, Frohman says the total time devoted to marketing messages will be less than normal NASCAR coverage.(USA Today)(1-12-2007)
