Most liked posts in thread: RIP - Speed Channel

It seems like SPEED has been gone for a while though (at least the SPEED that I knew and loved). I lost interest when they wound down their coverage of WRC, and then they transitioned to a largely NASCAR-centric format which is OK but not my cup of tea.

 

They already had Fox Sport South, ( here in the south atleast ) How many sport channels can they keep programs on at a time? Before long it will be like MTV,VH1, and CMT which hardly have videos on any more and show unrelated tv programs..

 

Just heard this too, already got enough sports channels that I don't watch. Don't need another!

 

Oh snap... No more constant NASCAR coverage... What am I going to do with my weekends now?

I say good riddance! They haven't had a good show on that channel since... Well EVER!

 

FOX ruins everything they touch...How much NASCAR coverage do you seriously need? I too lost interest in the channel once they became NascarTV

 

First Firefly and Futurama and now Speed. Fox is horrible people and they should feel bad.

 

Not only does it suck completely, but it also costs - at least those of us on Time Warner. Since Fox split Speed into FS1 and FS2....I get FS1 but to get FS2, which shows the live broadcasts instead of delayed, you have to ante up for yet another expensive premium package!

So the only way I can watch our local Rolex Grand Am is to wait a day, or a week depending on what whim they follow. (or spend $60 each for race tix, of course )

Way to build excitement, Fox.

And Time Warner......you guys suck so much that I cannot wait till Google Fiber hits my 'hood, I will throw you out so fast and so far.......

So I watched the Rolex race this afternoon from Kansas. Good coverage on FS1 but far too many commercials..... At least I got my fix. Not what I've been used to but I'll take it.

 

:cryin:

 

Did not watch TV much, only caught speed off and on, I really do not like (hate) FOX news in any form!

So, guess I will not get any great racing coverage on TV, I will have to see what I can see via the net, maybe ABC and NBC will wake up.

Sad very Sad! :frown2:

 

I used to pay extra just to have speed channel

 

:frown2:

 

What'a load'a CaCa!!! Speed was a regular staple in my TV diet... Two Thumbs Down.

 

I cannot express my disappointment, nor use the kind of language here that I would like to, as I have just flipped to my favorite channel, which is Speed and find UFC Fight Night......

I agree with Cam. I started winding down the WRC coverage. Now I just watch BBC American for top gear. But it's a shame. And like fix will be able to do sports better than espn.
