The "official" demise of SPEED TV

Looks like it's happening for Indy.

That will keep me from watching it.

That guy must suck a good dick.

 

just fyi, current as of last Thursday.

 

More a re-naming than a demise, with added programming.

 

Did I miss something on where Elbowz is from?

"Tennessee native and MotoGP regular Ben Spies" returns to competition at the Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix."

 

I like Bob Varsha as a host, but their choice of announcers just plain horrible.

 

Spies was born in Tennessee.

 

I agree, Sheheen makes me want to go Elvis on the TV.

I do kinda like Greg White but what in the wide, wide world of sports makes him a "series expert"?

 

who's that new girl doing the pit reporting for AMA? I wouldn't mind seeing her in something other than a polo.

 

Danielle Teal (pretty easy to find her in less than a polo)

 

He was born in Memphis.

Speed has been dying for a long time now. I'm mixed on Fox fianlly putting a bullet in the back of it's head.

 

Things would get pretty complicated if they made a decision for each racer on whether to go with place of birth, where they grew up or current residence.

 

From a friend that works there:

 

A couple WERA national championships and former AMA privateer. Plus knowing pretty much everyone in the paddock.

 

Going from motorsports only to including stick and ball sports makes it another 'don't bother watching it" channel.

 

The MotoGP paddock? I doubt that.

Like I said, I kinda like Greg but I don't consider him any sort of expert on international motorcycle racing, that's all.

 

Ralph Sheheen!

I can't be the only one that has to hit the mute button everytime I hear his voice. PLEEEZEEE anyone but him!!! arrrrggghhh my ear's!!!

At least Greg White is not so bad.

 

The original acquisition by FOX was the start of the demise. It pretty much became the NAPcar channel over night.
