Bye-Bye Speed Channel

[Bernie Cunningham]

Yes I'm dissapointed to hear this, however, do you all remember when Speed was really good!
We had F1, Rally, Le Mans, V8 supercars, lots of European series, and some really good follow up shows, then Nascar hit it with 'em and it's never been the same !!!!

I'm glad F1 moved on to NBC since SPEEDs now gone, hopefully they will add some of the other series, too. I started watching some V8 supercars last year when it was on SPEED and online, that's some awesome racing!

I have to agree with you guys on this one. If you remove all the NASCAR shows and the reruns from their current schedule there isn't much left. I wonder if the reason there are so many reruns on there now is because they (Fox) had this change in mind and stopped investing in new programming?

Add the fact that BJ has dropped their show summer show in Orange
County at the fair grounds. Must not have been a money maker for
them.

Tom Compton sounds like his typical self.....an *****. He needs to become a "have not" ASAP.

Philip,, Craig Jackson said during last weeks coverage, that the summer event you're referring to will be moved in 2014 to Hot August Nights in Reno, Nevada.

Sadly another example of people running a broadcase business , based on only money income alone and not on the content of the product . Which in this cass would be in the passion of televising auto racing . The poeple in charge of the speed channel lost there foucus and started to cover things that had nothing to do with racing . I miss the abc wide world of sports , and the corporate guys that had the balls to pay for the TV budget for Chris Economaki to cover auto racing ......I will suport Lucus's channel......Mr.Compton dose this mean we run video without being prosecuted , dosen't seam like anyone else is rolling that beautiful bean footage any how .
