Nike Beaverton buys the time on NBC Broadcast and/or Peacock Streamers and has the Penultimate Guy's family in BC Canada do the TV show for no cost. We should be grateful. For the Love of the Sport.
Yes, you're correct. These events take place in the first two days, and they won't be shown live on a major television network or major streaming platform:
Men's 100m
Women's 100m
Men's 10,000m
Women's 10,000m
Men's decathlon
Women's heptathlon
Men's and women's javelin
Men's and women's hammer
Men's and women's long jump
Women's high jump
That's a total of 13 events, including track's marquee event for men and women. It will be a missed opportunity to build off the momentum of last year's Olympics and showcase the talents and engaging personalities of athletes such as Anna Hall and Tara Davis-Woodhall.
Meanwhile, ESPN has coverage of NBA summer league games, little league softball regionals, and Savannah Bananas baseball. Very disappointing.
I wish ESPN just had the track rights…at the very least they’d be comprehensive.
For all of you track haters ( e.g, Grand Slam Track) you now are reaping what you have sewn. We said the hell with TV and decided to go to Eugene for the Championships- Still know as Tracktown until you come up with a replacement !
Now clear that Peacock/NBC only care about the Olympics. I guess we already kinda knew that, but they seem to be making a point of covering as little as possible between the Games. Wont even use cost-free Peacock real estate.
You're barking up the wrong tree. this is on USATF. Let them know.
"ripping what you have sewn?" How bout "wearing what you have sewn?" or "ripping what you are wearing" or "tearing what you are wearing" i.e. the self-destructive actions of some outfits involved with track and field.
I’m getting excited to watch a bunch of distance races where they don’t keep the camera on the finish line. It’s gonna be great!!;)
...and I'm getting excited to see an incomplete 5000 due to 4 slo mo replay's of a high jumpers miss and pharma commercials touting a relief for farts. /s
That is embarrassing that they don't have it on Peacock. I understand that T&F is not nearly popular enough in the US for NBC to show two days of mostly preliminary heats and expect people to watch them rather than watch their typical talk shows, game shows, and soap operas. People will watch the Olympic Games but they will not watch the prelim round of the USATF women's 100m at 3:47 on a Thursday.
However, Peacock is another story. People can watch any program they choose at any time. It is not like cable TV where everyone will have the same feed for NBC and it needs to be something that interests the masses. Put it on Peacock and let the people decide if they want to watch it or not. My guess is USATF wants to try to get 100% of the money for the first two days before splitting the rest with NBC. Gotta pay Max's well-deserved salary.
In like 10-15 years whenever someone an entity or organization is brave enough to pour money into track again. When there's a new Grand Slam I hope you guys don't poop on it. Who even knows if the diamond league will still exist by then 😭. It's down hill from here the way I see it

Lmao and being forced to go to Eugene for the next who knows how long is icing on the cake lol.
Please keep broadcast details updated, including any pirated YouTube transmissions, esp for those of us outside North America. Watch Athletics used to publish pirated transmissions just an hour or two before the events, but apparently they have stopped doing that?
I don't know if you noticed, but NBC and Peacock are only showing 2 hours of each of the 2 days they're covering the trials. That's really depressing to me. I signed up for Peacock a while back thinking they would provide good coverage of the trials and worlds.
On the plus side that is that much less time we have to endure Leigh Diffy
Are you sure he's not on the USATF call as well? He sucks so bad. If the USATF feed is at least Paul Swangard, he's at least tolerable.

Could be worse. The USATF Para Nationals are occurring simultaneously. We could get a long interview with the winner of the women's wheelchair 100m while the 5000 is going on.
Unless I've misread something the 100m final is Day 2. The 100m US championships won't be televised, outside of USATF's own streaming service.

You know what I just realized?
Bloody hell, the event is over two months. So if you want to get just a month subscription whelp, too bad. Gotta get 2 months! Lol.

Damnit this stinks.
Nah, I believe it's 30 day increments starting with the day you subscribe.
