More quality from fox. It was better before they bought it to promote their other interests.

They have a special on the Hooter's Girls tonight before the supercross race :8: Step up from the UFC.

But in all seriousness, Speed went downhill as soon as Fox bought them to fill in the required hours of NASCAR broadcasting to fullfil their television rights contract.

Re: I May Be Done With Speed Channel For Good
 

If it wasn't for SpeedNews & the F1 races I wouldn't watch Speed at all. Just more Nascar.
And when NBC gets done with Versus that will be another one to remove from my favorites list.
Maybe we need to start a pool to create a new All Open-Wheel Channel!
USAC, WoO, All-Stars, Must See, IndyCar, F1, SuperMods & SCCA. Even Formula Vee would be more entertaining than Plmp My Ride or Nascar!

Anyone have dish network w/mavtv? Any thing on it worth watching? They r here in tulsa

I've been dreaming for years about writing a column called "TRS" or the The Racin' Station." I'd think up 168 hours/one week's worth of programming.

I thank ESPN and Fox/Speed for inspiring this idea. All I gotta do is sit down and write it. :11;

Fox owns rights to UFC and Fox owns Speed .. Question answered

Having said that Fox owns Speed and rights to UFC and yes they do use it to build their NASCAR package it is worth letting them know you want more grass roots racing .

On another note our new company Three Wide Networks will be streaming several live USAC races and several regional and local tracks and series . Some will have to be Pay Per View it all depends on the sanctioning body and the promoter. We did do Turkey night free and Tony Stewarts Kart race free and had about 5000 viewers for each .

I'm kind of enjoying the AMA Monster Energy Supercross live from Phoenix at the moment.

Re: I May Be Done With Speed Channel For Good
 

I call it SPUD, I'll go to it when I turn TV on but rarely stay there. About the only show I watch consistently is PASS TIME, haven't won yet. SPUD CHANNEL quit watching WIND BAG TUNNEL too:10:

Lucas Oil Late Model races and the World Finals at Charlotte are the only things anyone should ever watch on speed

Pinks = Boring
NASCAR = A bunch of guys just making laps to collect their money
Monster Jam = does anyone actually care? Lol
All the other pointless, repetitive shows = another channel I just flip past 99% of the time

Maybe when the race fans stop watching Speed they will rename it Seed and turn it into a farm show? ;););)
