[FIAT1]

Tommy Kendall, Jon Beekhuis, Parker Johnstone. (BTW where the hell is Parker these days?)

ESPN: Paul Page, Tommy Kendall

NBC sports: Bob Jenkins, Jon Beekhuis, Wally Dallenbach

[heliocastroneves#3]

Paul Page has to come back! And for NBC I totally agree with 00steven!

[FIAT1]

I love Paul Page ,Jon Beekhuis,Parker Johnstone and Rick Benjamin because they have great ability to create exciting story, and the way they deliver it , makes me forget obout long boring yellow's. Bob Jenkins and Scott Goodyear are nice guys ,but they put me to sleep.

[garyshell]

Just say NO, to Scott Goodyear.

How many races are going to be seen on NBC Sports and ABC? Is it going to be 50/50 or is NBC going to do the most races, like Versus did in the last three years? (I know NBC Sports is the same as Versus anyway)

ABC will have 5 events including the Indianapolis 500, while NBC Sports Network will have the remaining 10-12 races depending on if there are any more events to be announced.

[Terry Labonte]

For ESPN: Jack Arute and Vitor Meira.

For NBC Sports Network: Rick DeBruhl and Michael Waltrip (he attended an IndyCar race once).

Derek Daly, Mark Blundell and the guy (American) that called Champ Car for Eurovision.

[Will Rogers]

Please, not Derek Daley--after his performance during Champ Car broadcasts, he doesn't deserve more time at the microphone. Jon Beekhuis is a must---he explains what's happened better and more concisely than anyone.

Bring back Rick Benjamin---he had a great voice and knew how to call a race with skill and enthusiasm.

[Dr. Krogshöj]

NBC Sports: I like Jon Beekhuis and Wally Dallenbach but I think Bob Jenkins is past his sell date. I'd rather see Bob Varsha as the play-by-play. The host and the pit crew is okay, and Miller was a great addition.

ABC: I'm not particularly fond of Marty Reid or Scott Goodyear but I don't think they're terrible either. How about Paul Page, Eddie Cheever and Parker Johnstone? I'd like to see and hear more of Jamie Little too.

P.S. the best scenario would be one where I don't have to listen to American commentators in the torrrent file because there was a TV broadcast in my country or at least IndyCar brought back the official stream. I can understand the lack of streaming in countries where there is a TV deal in place but as for the rest of the world, it's sheer idiocy.

Wasn't Hinch the guy your talking about? I thought he did international commentating for Champ Car.

[DanicaFan]

I would like to see Davey Hamilton calling the races.

[SoCalPVguy]

Does Indycar even have any broadcasts at all ? Oh wait- they are on channel 1256. Broadcasters ? We don't need no stinkin' broadcasters, heck at 0.3 ratings every viewer could be 'broadcaster of the week'.

[garyshell]

Just say NO to Eddie Cheever. He's a pompus A$$.

Gary

[00steven]

Lindy Thackston is out and Townsend Bell is in at NBC Sports.

[garyshell]

Congrats to Townsend, but I wish it had been Tommy Kendall.

Lindy Thackston is out and Townsend Bell is in at NBC Sports.

Good move!

[heliocastroneves#3]

Good move!

+1!

[FIAT1]

I never heard TB speak , I hope he brings energy in the pit reporting and some storylines.

[Marbles]

I always liked Ben Edwards:

I think he did the ESPN international feed.

Paul "Woh!" Page would also be welcomed back as play anchor. Sometimes it's what he didn't say that I appreciated.

Kendall, Dallenbach and Beekhuis; take your pick, I like them all.

I think it was indeed Hinchcliffe who did the Champcar feed with Ben Edwards former partner Jeremy Shaw, who I also like. Play by play from the cockpit?
