Speed TV, Speedvision, Speed Channel...whatever you knew it as, RIP.
Knew it was coming...but seeing baseball highlights right now on Fox Sports Network, on the channel where Speed lived last time I clicked on it...it is a sad day :\.
Really? it's easier to sell commercial slots for sports "news" 'round the clock? Anyone who has watched Speed over the years knows of their questionable programming choices over the last few years.
Yeah, they'll still have some motorsports coverage, we'll see.
I guess I'm as guilty as any of the demise...already downloaded all Moto GP coverage from the weekend (fantastic race! At one point I planned on going to Indy for it, but a family wedding this weekend prevented that), rather than watching on TV. If only a satellite system in the US offered EuroSport channel...they'd have a new customer.
Oh well, maybe something better will come along?

This may actually be the best thing that could happen. Now there is a market that is no longer served, waiting for someone else to step in to provide 100% motorsports coverage. The biggest challenge will be to make the rates reasonable to the cable operators.

lol @ Paul :P
I agree Wade, it definitely is a bummer for the time being.

Barstools were built for dreamers Greg. :D

I'd say paying to watch commercial TV is a big rip off in the first place. A few more should be laid to rest, double dipping by these companies should be outlawed if you ask me.

My mother was in the same camp. "Pay for TV?!?!, Never .... "

Is it ever coming back or is this permanent?
