Breeders Cup on NBC

Postby Bast » Mon Jan 23, 2012 2:03 pm

The 2012 Breeders Cup races are moving to the NBC Sports Channel (formerly Versus).

How commonly is this channel found in cable/satellite packages?

I'm not even sure I could have functional satellite tv. Trees on the neighboring lot might be a problem.

I'm pretty sure unlike the derby and stuff you can watch the races live on your ADW account. I know the TC races they black out at least the derby I know they do don't know about the other two.
