KTRK-TV 13 in Houston-NO NASCAR

Jesus freakin' Christ . . . channel 13 is showing a preseason freakin' football game instead of the NASCAR race from Bristol. I've got no problems with people that like football but come on. A preseason game between the Saints and the new "Aints" (Texans).

I like football, but really, preseason games are a joke even to hard core fans. I figured they would at least show a replay of the race around midnight or so, but they're re-playing the freakin' football game again.

Sorry for the rant . . . maybe someday I'll unblock channel 13 so the family can watch it again . . . but then again, ABC really doesn't have anything worth watching anyway.

Maybe their next move will be to buy the Chronicle that no one buys or reads unless they find it in the bathroom or laying on a chair somewhere. That was real good planning by both Nascar and TV 13

I'm not too crazy about NASCAR or NFL but I agree that it's silly to show a preseason game over a late season race.

This is late but the race was re-broadcast at 2:30 a.m. but I can't recall what channel. We recorded it and watched it the next day.

I'm right 98% of the time..... Who cares about the other 3%

The email reply I got from KTRK also explained that (after the fact for me). Something like channel 685 I think. Of course they were probably talking about Comcast channels and I use DirecTV (at the moment)

You would have thought this information would have been made available online and during the pregame/game. I looked and didn't see any notice whatsoever. Understandably, the more eyes on the game, the more ad dollars, but still I thought what KTRK did bordered on dishonesty. As it turns out, the race wasn't near as exciting as I hoped it would be.
