USATF NBC Track scores an all time low on Numeris TV Ratings. The Great sport of Golf Climbing again in 2020 , with All commercial spots sold out on CBS last weekend ( Genesis Invitational - Hosted by Tiger Woods ) This was a 3 hour TV Block , Sunday CBS , 2 Hours on Golf Channel . Sunday's USATF track presentation was behind a Pay wall specialty Cable service , no ratings available for Sunday.
I'm not saying it had anything to do wih the poor ratings, but the guide on YouTubeTv advertised "Outdoor National Championship" It did not say track & field or what sport was being shown and to me, 'outdoor' means from last year whatever it is.
Numeris TV ratings are for Canada, not the USA.
Let's look at the Television options and which TV Channels did well this weekend:

yeah the Optimum Cable Guide said outdoor too - but I think it also said track and field.
Do you mean cable for Optimum TV? Or I miseunderstood you? I am just hesitating between few TV providers and don't know which one to choose, Optimum TV seems to be the most adequate provider + real reviews on their services are available in the web https://optimum.pissedconsumer.com/review.html
I'm not a huge golf fan but it is nice to tune in every so often as it is generally apolitical, no national anthems, etc.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Running for Bowerman Track Club used to be cool now its embarrassing
Rest in Peace Adrian Lehmann - 2:11 Swiss marathoner. Dies of heart attack.
Hats off to my dad. He just ran a 1:42 Half Marathon and turns 75 in 2 months!
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
