In TV land, viewers = coverage. Nothing more, nothing less. This is why some people call Speed TV the "NASCAR Channel". The generally poor coverage of F1 is simply a reflection of the low viewership here in the US.

I think that once the US has an F1 race (either NJ or Austin -or both!), then the level of interest in F1 will rise and the coverage will expand and improve.
