You saw it here (http://www.speedvision.com/pub/articles/racing/08INews/011129a.html)


And so it begins..  Its a shame really, I heard so many good things about that channel...

Too bad.  Left turns are what racing is all about....

I thought I already told you guys that.  Rupert Murdoch owns Speedvision and he needs a place to put his suplemental stuff for Nascar.  IE all the truck races, etc that he must carry do to the Nascar arrangements.

I don\'t think they are moving away from the euro stuff they do though.  They will also be adding a lot of fix it shows as TNN loses us.  We are moving our show over I think in May when our agreement with TNN is up.

No, Fox is just taking a stronger roll in the programming.  They are also changing the name to speed channel.

Fox owns Speedvision? I didn\'t know that. Speedvision is better than Speedchannel. I don\'t like the new name. As long as they keep showing my races, I\'ll be happy.

Fox uses Channel at the end of a lot of their channels.  FOX News Channnel, etc...

Keep that trash on TNN and NBC.  We don\'t want it on every channel.  It sucks.  That\'s why people watch Speedvision b/c it doesn\'t have N-ASS-CAR.

If I wanted to watch people drive in circles, I\'d go to a Wal-Mart parking lot.

TNN is affiliated with CBS (Viacom).  That is why they lost Nascar when CBS lost it.
