    No NASCAR Race 6/01/08? Telethon? What the Hell?

    I’ve got nothing against Telethons but why blackout the NASCAR Race for thousands of capital region NASCAR fans? Fox and Fox23 broadcasts hundreds hours of crap so there’s plenty of other time slots that the Telethon could have been scheduled for.

     

    (((Edit))) I emailed fox23news.com and the race is not being blacked out for capital region. This was there reply.

     

    We realize that NASCAR is a sporting event enjoyed by many in the Capital Region.  Due to the coverage of the Children's Hospital Telethon on Sunday June 1st, the Sprint Cup race scheduled for WXXA FOX23 may be viewed as shown below:

     

    Sprint Cup Best Buy 400 - Dover

    Ch. 23.2 - Over the Air
    Ch. 423 - Time Warner Digital Cable
    Ch. 191 - Mid
    Hudson Digital Cable

    Ch. 3 - Time Warner Cable

    Our viewers are important to us and we have taken every measure to provide coverage of the race to everyone.  Thank you for watching FOX23.

     

    Best regards,
