You think? Nothing will reach a wider public than TV. Internet is not like TV that you can walk through the limited channels to see what is on. Look at F1, many TV channels start a preview 1 or even 2 hours before the start of the race and some use the time to walk through other motorsports as well. These programs are not available on the internet unless you pay for such channels or know how the start up an illegal stream.
You can try to transmit the most interesting RC TV programs on a youtube channel but for the non RC public it will never be found.

And yes, the Internet TV shows are find by youngsters who hang more on all kind of social media mostly promoted by famous video bloggers but the current dad's in the search for a hobby/sports to do with their kids are still "simple" people not that busy online but switching on the TV to watch sport channels. I truly believe that a whole year competition getting a monthly item on a TV channel for just 10 minutes an item will do a lot more than 10 hours on a youtube channel.
