Those numbers were published by Jim Liberatore.

Is he back at SPEED? I thought they fired him years ago in a dispute over reality progrsmming.

Do the research and I think you'll find he quit over the amount of NASCAR programming that was being done.

Speed, with all of the racing going on around the world, surely there is some exciting racing series going on somewhere to show. I don't watch these reality series, so the more you show these, the less I watch. Variety in racing is what we need to see.

I'm a firm believer in HDTheater. I've had it for about three weeks now and I've seen WRC, the Isle of Man, some vintage GT racing and genuinely good car programming as opposed to the tuner stuff and such reality shows as Wrecked and the like.

YOU SOMEHOW THINK THAT SITTING ON YOUR COUCH WATCHING RACING ALL DAY LONG MAKES YOU AN INTELLIGENT PERSON OR A REAL GEAR-HEAD?? SORRY BUBS!! REAL GEAR-HEADS LIKE ME DON'T SPEND ALL THEIR TIME WATCHING RACING ON TV. THEY ACTUALLY SPEND MOST WEEKENDS BUILDING THEMSELVES A TIRE SHREDDING DAILY DRIVER OR A WEEKEND BRACKET RACER!! THAT IS JUST A PIECE OF REAL INTELLIGENCE!!


SO WHAT HAVE YOU BUILT LATELY?? OR ARE YOU GUYS SATISFIED WITH DRIVING YOUR BONE STOCK $500.00 A MONTH CAR PAYMENT?? I MEAN WHAT'S THE FUN IN THAT!? P.S. COST VS. RATINGS = RATINGS WIN EVERY TIME!!

"You ask for more racing and you get. . . Apparently the racing fan doesn't exist among Speed's viewer base anymore"

If all you guys can do is whine and complain, then I don't feel sorry for you!! Why?? Because I bet your probably the same whiners I used to deal with who couldn't pay the bill on their new 300 dollar I-Phone!! Those people thought they were real cute!! They always demanded that we turn their service back on after AT&T;shut it off for being behind on their payments!!

Of course I had to nicely tell them that once the bill is paid in full, then they could have their service back on, but not until then!!

P.S. SPEED TV shows more racing than any other network in America!! So I'm not sure what network you are referring to, but it's obviously not SPEED!! And again: COST VS. RATINGS = RATINGS WIN EVERY TIME!!

You really need to provide some reputable links, instead of posting what you claim is true.

Got any viewer number data that is current, reputable and accurate (like Nielsen ratings) regarding Speeds reality show vs. racing viewership on a weekly basis?

I'll hazard a guess and say probably not, since Liberatore hasn't worked for Speed for what is it, five years now and Speed Nielsen data and viewership numbers only seem available when Speed webpage headlines tell us that Nascar truck racing viewship increased some percentage points.

My gut tells me that Nascar subsidizes Speed. It's the only theory I can get to make sense because I can't believe anyone watches the reality dreck that Speed constantly ponies up.

I think I could dispute the idea that nobody watches the reality dreck, since reality shows - more accurately, quasi-reality shows, since they're all pretty much staged - are among the hottest properties on TV right now, like it or not. Right now dreck sells.

NASCAR revenues cover a lot of money that might be lost on other programming, including the reality shows that haven't taken off, no more or no less.

tv has always sought the lowest common denominator and now its found it and caters to it. so essentially its dumbasses as depicted in numerous commercials watching frauds faking reality' if YOURE watching it you ARE it.

Well you know this really gets on my nerves... I am one of the stars in this series and we worked very hard for the show. I think that you are being pretty simple minded by thinking this station should only show what the few of you want. Now I am a NASCAR and racing fan just as much as the next guy, and I realize this station is about DRIVING. it represents all types of driving. Be it NASCAR, F1, Rally, Dirt track or occupational. So I thank you in advance for NOT watching my show. You are not the people we want to see it, maybe be in it.

you arent a star. you will never be a star.

I noticed something on tonights episode of dangerouse drives heavy haulers. They said that the windiest city is dodge city, Not true at all. I live in casper wyoming and it is the windiest city. Thats evan the citys nick name. We have average winds from 40 up to 75 mph winds. Most of the time. Ive see lawn furniture air born and tents, tarps, anything that will catch a breeze as we call anything under 60mph , lol. There are evan people in the local nut house because the wind blows so much here it drives people crazy. This is the truth. But i dont think its fair that 30mph winds in dodge city are concidered the windiest. Kinda funny.

I work in the oil patch in Alberta and if they want an interesting episode thay need top come watch how we move rigs and keep them supplied year round in the Rockies
