Speedvision

[Simon Tibbett]

So, what sounds better, the old Speedvision or the new Speedchannel? Personaly, I like Speedvision more.

 

[Jordan]

DEFINITELY Speedvision! I hate their new name...why are they changing it?

 

[Talentless]

speed channel. long hours on that one. no full coverage of the rolex 24

better not mess with le man

 

[Simon Tibbett]

There is not full coverage of the Rolex 24? I heard it will stay the same "great coverage" but with the addition with CART and NASCAR.

Boy, that's the truth. Judging by a lot of their promos for the Speed Channel, I seem to be noticing a lot more NASCAR footage than anything else...I hope they don't loose their European coverage and "feel".

 

[Talentless]

you must not have heard it during barret-jackson.

fox owns speedvision apparently. i sense more political commercials and nascar.

I like Speedvision better, but it would be better if I still had the channel, stupid digital cable

CRAP!!!
Why the hell can't they just leave the network alone. everytime something good comes up, a bigger company buys them out, and turns them into a P.O.S. Stupid fox....

"Speed Channel" Would not even confirm if they will still have formula one coverage anymore because of CART.....

Who needs ANOTHER nascar channel? On sundays, thats ALL fox shows... We don't need to change our pure british type sports channel into a snivilling crappy a$$ american channel....

AHHHHGGGG...

I'm with you Talentless. Besides, I don't want NASCAR 24/7. However, they WILL still host F1 races, even though I might be doing :sleep:.

 

[Klostrophobic]

Jesus, they really are going to turn this into NASCARvision.

I'm not watching unless someone makes a right turn.

 

[Klostrophobic]

And I used to like FOX, they brought us the Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, King of the Hill, That '70s showand a whole lot of syndicated shows like Seinfeld, Drew Carey and News Radio.

Shame on you FOX.

Boy, that's the truth! The same thing happened with TechTV (it was ZDTV back then) a few years ago, and the channel has never been the same since.

From a pure standpoint of name alone, Speedvision is a lot better. Say it just like the guy in the commercial.

Speed Channel just doesn't sound as nice.

On the plus side, there's more WRC coverage this year.

 

[MazKid]

they are going to still have the 24hr rolex, they will show like the first half, then stop for the night, and in the morning show what happened at night and the rest of it.

They are still going to have the motorcycle racing, WRC, turing cars, all of that. I just hope they keep MotorVision, Autoweek, Bikeweek, Test drives, all of that. They need to get rid of the "Automotive product showcases" that they have. Most of them don't have a single thing to do with Cars, bikes, Boats, planes, nothing. They have on Bowflex, this cooker thingy, those electrowhatever ab worker, all the crap they shouldn't have on.

We will have to wait untill the 11th at 7:59ET

 

[KevinPSX]

I believe they have "consumer product showcases" and "automotive product showcases."

 

[Talentless]

Maz, that isn't the same thing as continuous coverage.

 

[MazKid]

well yeah, but how many people are going to stay up to watch the whole thing. The way that they're going to show it is more than enough for me.

Did you actually watch the whole race?

 

[KevinPSX]

I enjoyed trying to stay up and watch Le Mans. It's a nice challenge.

 

[Talentless]

Most of it I think.

 

[Simon Tibbett]

The Rolex 24 is a great race to watch. Last year I watched it 24 hours straight. I recorded it all to. Plus, night racing is the best right?

 

[Deathhawk]

Grrrr... As long as they don't start killing small races (a la SCCA, and Aussie Supercar) to put stupid nascar....

IF i wanted to watch Nascar, I would get a ticket at our local track...

 

[MitsubishiLancer]

NASCAR will show from 12 noon to 12 midnight Russia time I hope.....lol
