Speed Channel is Dying

[suprageezer]

As if nascar 24/7 wasn't bad enough, tonight its a fing national geographic show on fing john deer tractors. I say it's time to boycott their sponsors until they fire the programming managers. Sorry just had to rant I miss the days of turning on Speed and watching a fing car race somewhere in the world.

Yep..Speed really sucks now..They wont show a real race other than Nascar to save their ass.

I sure as hell don't like watching Monster Jam or School bus figure-eight racing..

I'd also like to add that I would rather shoot myself in the foot than watch a Nascar race. Unless they're racing at Watkins Glen or Infineon...

there good programing was few and far between.....i dont know f they still do but they used to air the wrc and they aired formula d this year......they still suck though

Speed has been dead for quite awhile. The only thing keeping me watching ever is motogp and WSBK

every once in a while you can catch something good, like the other night i saw some scca racing which was ok. they show HIN now too so you can keep up on all the rice going on.

I was on that HIN show for a brief second. My friend was interviewed on it too.

 

[supra1642]

thats cool, some of the cars are pretty sweet on there. i've seen some mkiv's on there but no mkiii's. what did your friend have on there?

 

[BorHor]

He got interviewed for the drift portion for HIN Pleasanton. I can be seen on a truck blue moving or changing a tire (I forgot).

 

[wooooosh]

There motorcycle racing coverage is practical gone.

 

[WhtMa71]

The only real racing they have is usually aired in the early morning like 2-4am..if that.

Yeah, SPEED sucks now. It's never really been that good, though.

 

[zambini]

yeah i am in the latter phase of an all-nighter right now (its 11 am)

this morning at 4 i turned on speed and watched like an hour and a half of mesmerizing supercar porsche racing!! and i had that exact thought- speed channel sucks now! MOAR RACING!!

you know, its like mtv playing music videos. pretty soon theyre gonna have reality shows with teenagers and the pinks guy teaching gymnastics or doing 30 minute workout videos. then theyll have speed channel 2, which will start off awesome, with real speedy stuff on it.. and a matter of 6 months later theyll have dale earnheardt jr's wrangler jean co. factory tour.

sucks.

That's because it's off season right now.
