Soup :: World Superbike No Longer Televised on Speed? :: 02-12-2013

"Speed is undergoing dramatic change in 2013 as it morphs from an all-motorsports network into a Fox-branded multi-sport network which will try to leverage NASCAR and mainstream sporting events so that it can do battle with ESPN. Speed let F1 go from their schedule last Fall, and as it stands now, according to one insider, "all motorcycle racing is in trouble on Speed, now and in the future"."

I grew up in NASCAR Country, but the sport left me 20+ years ago. I'll never forget Bill Elliott being held in the pits for 3 laps so the rest could catch up, and I'll never forget the years that NASCAR raised the roofs on the T-Birds to slow them down. Now a days all the cars are identical except for the decals and paint.

It's sad I use to enjoy catching the various types of motorsports that you use to catch on Speed. Don't hardly go there these days.

They lost me when they quit using stock cars as a base, I don,t care for NASCAR at all , I would rather watch darts, bowling or the cooking channel.

I agree... You can't argue with it's success, but it's not about the best innovators, mechanics, or cars. The only real variable is the amount of sponsorship money and the driver.


The big three car companies used to say win on Sunday - sell on Monday. Big muscle car era... Yeah Baby!

It's been formally announced that WSBK has been dropped from Speed. Not seeing anywhere that is broadcasting it, other than day or 2 after the races videos and torrents. No mention anywhere of the AMA/DMG series either. Looks like Speed and Speed2 will be showing most (think CBS is getting 3-4 rounds again) of the MotoGP season, but that's about it.
