The post time for Saturday’s Preakness Stakes is just after 6:00 Eastern. NBC began their coverage at 4:30, because if they didn’t, they’d have no time to broadcast puff-pieces about people with a lot of money who would like to make even more money.
Between Now And The Preakness Post Time, NBC’s Coverage Is Painful
↵The folks who put together NBC’s promotional packages are astoundingly good at what they do. Stop and think for a moment. The narrative they’re espousing is this: “Calvin Borel and company are in pursuit of their life’s dream -- the Triple Crown.” Set it to the tune of some sort of mutant easy-listening incarnation of NFL Films, and instantly, people care.
