| Yeah, you're right. I mean we could be watching this on the CBS sports network where everybody else in the world gets to watch it live while here in America we had to endure a time delay for a sport that originated IN America. I'll take the hiccups over the time delay any day. Couple a years ago I spent the money on CBS Sports Network thinking I would get to see live coverage. WRONG! One of their customer service representatives got an ear full and I ended up getting a refund. I mean how the hell can you have an American Made sport and it's the Americans who have the time delay? I'm sure a show like the WNFR takes a lot of planning especially during a pandemic. I'd say the Cowboy Channel has done a fine job so far AND they're not stingy with their coverage. I agree with who ever said they hope the Cowboy Channel gets to keep the WNFR. I think they're doing a great job. |

| I have loved the coverage. I like the buckle ceremony at Texas Live. I feel like I may get flamed for this, but I wouldn't mind if this continued and the NFR stayed in Texas. |

I agree, the NFR was born in Dallas Texas and I think it should just stay here in Texas. The Arena is so much better, the ground needs a little improvement for the barrel racers, but with all the Barrel Races thats held here I bet one of the ladys that puts them on would be more then happy to help with ground. I'm just so impressed that they even use a tractor with rake to smooth out around the barrels after so many runs, never ever seen this in Vagas. I love the sky cams, we get to see a birds eye view of some of the rounds, this is so cool. Texas is doing a wonderful job with the NFR..     |

| I LOVE the fact the rodeo is on earlier! It was tough trying to stay awake to watch the rodeo when it was in Vegas! |

LOL, YES!!!! I love that it comes on early, its starts up about 6:45 and that is GREAT, A lot of times I would miss it because I would fall asleep waiting for it to come on when in Vegas. And I love it here since they have the buckle ceremony after the rodeo and thats fun to watch, when NFR is in Vegas never seen the Buckle ceremony, they would just do a rerun of the NFR. Good Job Cowboy Channel     |

Yes, totally agree. At Vegas, they had a sign with the contestant's name kind of over the roping boxes so that you would know who was roping or steer wrestling which helped a lot. But yes, I would like to know who the contestants are. Sometimes I have to roll it back just to find out who the contestant is. |

| I agree! Very impressive coverage and I love how quickly the rodeo moves with less commercials. Kuddo's to Cowboy Channel and the PRCA! |

        Location: SE KS | Love it, for putting a production of this magnitude together in 90 days, with the restrictions on top of that as a daily moving target. Kudos to the Cowboy Channel (that is all that we watch anymore) , PRCA, WPRA, The Texas rangers, state of TX.... I don't miss those wrangler commercials.... don't miss alot of those commercials... Yes, some things may be missing, you know what, we will all survive , this event could not have even happened. THe annoiuncers say the name of the contestant. I hope in 5 years when Vegas's contract is up - that Arlington will go for it.... They could fill those stands, to 100% capcacity and I think the area (state) could come up with the add $$$$. appreciate what we do have folks,,,,, it could not of even happend. I'm for one I'm thanksful..... it has been my bubble for the 10 days away from politics, and the world events. This is somewhat back to normal. Y'all have a good day ! Enjoy every night of the finals..

| I don't have the channel. Last time I checked it would cost me about $100. Wonder if it is worth it. I don't watch much TV. |

I don't watch much TV. One channel is NOT worth 100.00 in my opinion, thats just crazy!! Edit to ask, do you have any cable or satellite TV at all? I have Dish, the Cowboy Channel and RFD TV they both were in the package we got with Dish among all the other channels we have with this service.
