ABC Sports won the rights to broadcast all three races, as well as many prep races. Ratings went up after the package was centralized. Other than the <a href="/wiki/Kentucky_Derby" title="Kentucky Derby">Kentucky Derby</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Preakness_Stakes" title="Preakness Stakes">Preakness Stakes</a> and <a href="/wiki/Belmont_Stakes" title="Belmont Stakes">Belmont Stakes</a> were considered the two "other" races. <a href="/wiki/ESPN_on_ABC" title="ESPN on ABC">ABC Sports</a>, which had broadcast the Derby since 1975, wanted to televise all the races as a three race package. <a href="/wiki/CBS_Sports" title="CBS Sports">CBS Sports</a>, which showed the other two races, had much lower ratings for them, with the possible exceptions of years in which the Crown was at stake like <a href="/wiki/Secretariat_(horse)" title="Secretariat (horse)">1973</a>, <a href="/wiki/Seattle_Slew" title="Seattle Slew">1977</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Affirmed" title="Affirmed">1978</a>. </p><p>Combined broadcast arrangements with ABC continued until <a href="/wiki/2001_in_American_television" title="2001 in American television">2001</a>, when <a href="/wiki/NBC_Sports" title="NBC Sports">NBC Sports</a> took over. Under NBC, ratings continued to go up, by as much as 20 percent in some years. It did not hurt that many horses, like <a href="/wiki/Funny_Cide" title="Funny Cide">Funny Cide</a> and <a href="/wiki/Smarty_Jones" title="Smarty Jones">Smarty Jones</a>, were making Triple Crown runs during those years (although all of them failed). From <a href="/wiki/2002_in_American_television" title="2002 in American television">2002</a> to <a href="/wiki/2004_in_American_television" title="2004 in American television">2004</a>, the Belmont had the highest ratings of any horse race on television. </p><p>After the 2004 Belmont race, the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Racing_Association" title="New York Racing Association">New York Racing Association</a> ended its deal with NBC, citing a conflict over profit-sharing arrangements. ABC won the rights to the Belmont, and <a href="/wiki/Triple_Crown_Productions" title="Triple Crown Productions">Triple Crown Productions</a> was effectively dissolved related to bonuses and broadcast rights. The only function that Triple Crown Production still oversees is joint nomination fees and a small joint marketing effort. </p><p>In 2011, NBC Sports once again became the broadcaster of all three Triple Crown races in separate broadcast deals; including an extension to its existing rights to the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, plus establishing a new 5-year deal to broadcast the Belmont Stakes after <a href="/wiki/ESPN_on_ABC" title="ESPN on ABC">ABC</a> and <a href="/wiki/ESPN" title="ESPN">ESPN</a> declined to renew their previous contract. All three deals last through 2015, and include supplementary coverage on <a href="/wiki/NBC_Sports_Network" class="mw-redirect" title="NBC Sports Network">NBC Sports Network</a> for all three races. The additional coverage included 14-1/2 hours of Kentucky Derby pre-race coverage including an hour and a half live special for the <a href="/wiki/Kentucky_Oaks" title="Kentucky Oaks">Kentucky Oaks</a> and six and a half hours of <a href="/wiki/Preakness_Stakes" title="Preakness Stakes">Preakness Stakes</a> pre-race coverage including a one-hour live special on the <a
