WSBK Who's Watching this year?

Ever since WSBK disappeared from TV here in Canada I have struggled to give a crap about it. There were fewer and fewer big names and no N Americans involved.
However this year looks to be quite different. MotoGP World Champ Nicky Hayden will have a chance to be the first MotoGP / WSBK World Champ ever, and as well our friend Karel Abraham has moved over to WSBK from MotoGP, so we kinda have to watch.
Video passes for both MotoGP and WSBK total nearly $250 for the year but I don't mind paying as the coverage is excellent and we actually get to see something we want to watch, unlike current TV offerings in Canada. Previously we were paying about $100 a month for Shaw cable and they didn't show anything I really wanted to watch. The mythical 500 channel universe had turned out to be 500 channels of mindless crap.
