Ain't gonna happen. Petitions, e-mails, multiple threads on this.

Nothing.

Another boring Sat/Sun on SPEED. I noticed now that NAStyCAR is back, no more replays of Austrailian V8 or DTM from last season---y'know, the season we NEVER saw LIVE in the first place. Geesh, what a sad racing network. Most Americans hear "European racing" and turn away. Europeans were racing autos before we in the US were...Paris to Rouen, I believe was 1893.


oh well

That's exactly the reason a lot of the coverages are lacking. People turn away. No ratings. No ratings, no money.

And when all else fails, BLAME SPEED!

“Crap programs” are anything that I don’t like.

“Because I don’t watch it” means that nobody watches it either.

We Rally fans didn't turn away from SPEED until SPEED turned away from us!!! If you can't get your favorite type of food at one grocery store, you'd go somewhere else wouldn't you??? The problem really is too many mindless lemmings brainwashed by NASCRAP roundy round "racing". (which hasn't been interesting since about 1978!!) So... I'll go to http://www.wrc.com & other sources to get my WRC fix.

Another year of no WRC coverage.
Another year of me watching less and less SpeedTV.
I used to channel surf to Speed each time I had the TV on.
I can't do that any longer because I get too upset with all the reality crap and over-coverage of NASCAR.

WRONG ANSWER! WRC is not on SpeedTV since they don't want to pay the FIA the $ they were asking.
Ratings are not the issue. It's also a decision re: to whom they are marketing.
Bottom line is that I, along with at least a dozen or so friends really don't watch much SpeedTV anymore.
We only watch a very few select programs.
As a result, SpeedTV advertisers have lost the ability to reach out to about a dozen people who have tons of disposable income...
and who buy expensive toys.
Now, multiply this by tens of thousands.
Clearly, SpeedTV's strategic decision was (and is) to dumb down their programming to appeal mostly to Joe Lunchbox/Mouth Breather/Reality TV watching dolts.
Even the SpeedTV website reflects this.
It all began when they moved their HQ to Charlotte.
Long live SpeedVision!

...I miss SpeedVision. :(

That was a great channel with some great programming. Even their non-race event shows were great. Victory By Design was a fantastic production.

Maybe Bob, David and Steve should break-away and start their own F1 & WRC network. I'd hook up a colostomy bag to sit and watch that 24/7!

@XORPHEOUS & RASSIG: SpeedVision was a beautiful thing.
