Are they still going to air the same crap that they have been airing? Ya know, 2 hours of actual racing, 18 hours of Pinks or pre race analysis shows and 4 hours of infomercials.
Looks like the wizards at Fox Sports think they can get more viewers [$$$$] showing baseball, college football and general 'talk' shows than car racing. There will be less NASCAR coverage and probably less coverage of the Rolex/Continental Tires/ALMS merge races. Formula 1 is already gone. What happens to the 4 times a year Barrett-Jackson auctions?
Can't get a new channel on cable/sat systems? Easy fix. Buy an existing channel and change the format [court tv to Tru, TNN to Spike]. Maybe Fox Sports 1 think they will be able to demand the $5.15 that ESPN gets every month.
A lot of the stuff Speed shows is garbage, but I hope they keep stuff like My Classic Car and some of those other Saturday/Sunday morning shows. There are so many sports channels, why do we need another?? I hope someone steps up someday and creates a new racing channel devoted to NASCAR, USAC, WoO, IndyCar, and some of the other series Speed carries. I also miss when they showed classic races. Sure I can watch on youtube, but the picture quality isn't that great and I'd rather watch on a bigger screen anyway.

C'mon. What's not to love about "Are You Faster Than A Redneck?"
Fox Soccer is going away too I hear. I hope they make a better go of Fox Sports than they did FS1 and FS2, both were pretty amateurish at best most of the time.
I stopped watching Speed other than a few fleeting times here and there around 2006. Once it became dominated by all the Nascar nonsense and Pinks and other crap like that, I left. So no real loss to me.
Me too. Greed channel can go suck it as far as I'm concerned. To much non-racing and not enough racing.
