Bad news for Horse Racing Industry: Fanduel TV(Used to be TVG) will stop airing the races sometime 2027

Emerald Downs is a nice little track. There was rumors they were in financial trouble because of the taxes to the industry not because of the actual business.

No surprise at all; I knew this was coming as soon as f a gduel bought TVG. I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.

A lot of people had cushion jobs. All those media people are gonna be gone.

Some of them might get jobs at the racetrack, but they’re not gonna have all these perks anymore

 

[drunkenhorseplayer]

They might be able to continue it if they eliminate the studio work and just show the races, nothing more. It wouldn't affect me one bit because I don't listen to any of the commentary, analysis or predictions. If not, maybe America's Day at the Races can start showing some more tracks.

Capitol OTB is not a bad network

I would think not many people watch FanDuel TV other than racing that’s why they’re getting rid of it. They want people to watch sports it’s gonna fail.

FD TV shutting down the races should be good for RTN Business model.
