Additional Info as a follow up to my post above. As mentioned "Prime" comes with Amazon Prime, so if you have Amazon Prime, you'll have "Prime" streaming.... however, what I see happening little by little with most of the streaming channels is that they'll give you basic stuff, but if you want better content, you'll have to pay extra for it. My commitment to Nascar watching is simple... If it is on something that I am already able to view, and there is no extra charge involved, then I'll watch it at my convenience. However, the second they think they have a premium product that is worthy of a monthly/yearly subscription charge, I'm out 100%. I just really don't enjoy it enough anymore, or enjoy listening to their announcers enough to really feel like I have to watch it, or certainly not enough to have to feel like I have to pay extra for. This year, I DVR'd all of the races, and then found them not important enough to go back and actually watch most of the time... and when I did, I did the Evelyn Wood Speed Watching version... zipping through a 4 hour race in about 20 minutes. I don't know any of the details, but if NASCAR is offering a few races in the middle of the season exclusively on Prime, I think it'll be probably part of the basic "Prime" viewing package, without an additional subscription/fee if you already are getting Prime. For what it's worth, I think my household/household members are paying for the following streaming channels: Flo, Peacock, Paramount and Discovery. I also see NetFlix as being available, but not sure how we're getting that unless one of my kids has a subscription and watches it when they are here. I have some other non pay streaming offerings such as TCM, ESPN, Fox Sports and a bunch more because I still have a current cable $ub$cription..... At some point I will drop cable altogether and just find another way/less expensive way to get internet to the house. Right now, I still like watching some of those mentioned above that I wouldn't have, or would have to pay extra for if I got rid of cable entirely. Once I do get rid of cable... then on it will be 100% streaming - no cable/no cable bill.
