what networks carry nascar?
Two separate radio networks provide coverage for NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series - Motor Racing Network (MRN) & Performance Racing Network (PRN). PRN is controlled by Speedway Motorsports Inc. (SMI) which owns 8 tracks on the series so PRN covers those races (plus the Brickyard 400) while MRN covers the rest. The vast majority of affiliate stations carry both networks. On PRN's website, it lists 410 stations as carrying its Sprint Cup Series programming. http://www.goprn.com/affiliates/...
ESPN, TNT out as Peacock inks $4.4 billion-deal to bring sport to the net for first time since '06. NBC is back in business with NASCAR, inking a 10-year deal to carry more than half of the popular Sprint Cup Series starting in 2015. The rights, for which the Peacock shelled out roughly $4.4 billion or $440 million annually, would replace those currently held by ESPN and Turnerâs TNT.
