Five ideas for for growing NASCAR TV viewership:
1) Abandon exclusives. Multiple broadcasts for the same feed (think Manning-cast or National Football Championship flavors of main broadcast/coaches corner/Team A/Team B). One-size fits all products inevitably leave many unsatisfied. Playing down to the lowest common denominator bores loyal fans to tears.
Not all announcing concepts will be smash hits but have patience to try things. But don't pander. Make each feel like they're part of the bigger story and not segmented by demographics.
2) Make it easy for people to watch. Abandon paywalls (direct or indirect). Limiting supply in the name of growth hopes the hard core fans will pay and gives casual fans reasons to stay away.
3) Ban broadcasts from using history as a crutch. Force broadcasts to show why this race right now is awesome on its own merits. Don't tell me how big a deal the race is because of its history - show how the current race earns its own chapter of the race's history.
4) Use tech to illustrate how cars and drivers are faster or slower than others at different parts of the race. Twitter users have become better and better at analyzing lap and segment times. Want people to appreciate the skill? Show the clever lines to give running around in circles more texture.
5) Give broadcasters a limited number of "points as they run" graphic tokens to use. There's a time and a place. There's difference between telling the storyline of advancing to the next round and showing the graphic when the end of the race is literally hours away. It is a crutch.
I have thoughts on tracks, schedules and equipment, but that's another thread.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
