Where? I am in Canada, so we get the British feed on TSN, which is good coverage, but I have been expecting to see the races on NBC. I've got NBC east and west, CNBC, MSNBC and nothing. I like Hobbs and Matchett, and would like the option.
Last year Speed was blacked out during the races, since TSN has the Canadian rights, but I thought I'd at least see a blank spot on the guide somewhere.

The F1 broadcasts are on NBCSports and it's a completely separate channel from the other NBC affiliates you mentioned. It may, or may, not be included in your CDN cable package.
A Brit feed on TSN seems like an even better alternative, no?
Ah. That would explain it. The Brit feed is excellent, and would be even better if we got the hour or two of pre-race show included. I liked the Speed coverage, and an option is always nice.
Yea I had to upgrade my Dish plan just before the first race just so I could get NBC sports.
It is amazing how the coverage hasn't changed from Speed.
I've been watching some of the online highlights from NBC. How did Bob Varsha get there? I though he was tied to Speed for another year.
In reply to Streetwiseguy:
Likewise, I was pleasantly surprised to hear Varsh's voice. I'm thinking Speed/Fox have little to offer Varsha in the future and are letting him ease out of what's left on his contract.
With Diffey announcing the IndyCar event, it was a natural choice to insert the portly, sometimes gaffe-prone lawyer. In spite of his faults, he's more palatable than the excitable-boy schtick coming from the Aussie.
NBC Sports used to be called Versus
