Hell I remember the days of totally NASCAR on my local fox sports network. Crazy that its now owned By Comcast. As for fuel I remember when it was surfing and skateboarding. I never really watched it but its a shame that NASCAR may be relegated to what is pretty much the UFC network. Hell even speed has ufc programing which in my mind is the most ridiculous thing.

The only thing that kept me hanging on was the Monday night show when I first got SPEED...then they changed it and when they changed host and later, dumped Schrader, it stunk.<br /><br />I felt like friends were on my couch yakking about races, with some teasing. Now everything is so "sterile/forced" on Speed.

Any FOX programming can be pre-empmted by a local sporting event or such. This is why Radeday and the NASCAR show Byrnes did were moved to SPEED as there was not 100% clearance. Also FSN's do not cover all markets.<br /><br />Fuel is not on as many cable systems as SPEED so that may not be the best solution and no guarantee it will happen anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-24965881372784226352012-08-03T20:16:39.093-04:002012-08-03T20:16:39.093-04:00I've said it before, and I'm saying it aga...I've said it before, and I'm saying it again. <br /><br />"Nascar's downfall is directly connected to its screwing with "Inside (Winson, Nextel, Sprint) Cup" TV show".

Perhaps they will land elsewhere however.<br /><br />As to the decline in Nascar programming, how much of it is strictly a dollars and cents issue? The networks have to show something 24/7/365, they have no choice. So is it that reruns of "Pimp my Ride" are more profitably than the racing shows? If so the future is dim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-22546848033627946852012-08-03T12:54:02.815-04:002012-08-03T12:54:02.815-04:00I'm aggravated they have removed all replays o...I'm aggravated they have removed all replays of Wind Tunnel. With the time the show comes on being moved around from one week to the next, it's hard to keep up with when it's on. I could record it and may start doing that.

I used to listen to the half hour online afterwards as it's commercial free but have not done so anymore.<br /><br />WT deserves MORE TV TIME.

Many of the changes in timing and/or style of programming have resulted in my decision to watch less of what is left of NASCAR programming on TV.<br /><br />So now they will get rid of speed and maybe put something else on another cable channel? Hmmm, is that something I'll have to pay another fee to see? I upgraded years ago to get Speed AND ESPN classic (when they used to show the old races). Many of my friends have cancelled their cable service altogether preferring to use online services like netflix and hulu (even though they pay for those too) to keep up with any TV programs they might want to see.<br /><br />I have to say that I am also thinking about it - there is less and less actually ON that I want to watch. The race coverage is so poor that I use trackpass and twitter and this blog to follow along so my biggest reason for having cable is less compelling.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-12963933575975610112012-08-03T10:42:26.934-04:002012-08-03T10:42:26.934-04:00Loose Wheel, part of the problem with the FSN syst...Loose Wheel, part of the problem with the FSN system is distribution, Here in Eastern Pa, we are Comcast driven, and until we got Root from Pittsburgh this spring, we only got FSN programs as Comcast filler, never had the original Totally NASCAR and stuff like that. We are also as far East as Root goes, so there is no FSN in the Philly region, plus regionals have first loyalties to their local stuff, which creates conflicts too. <br /><br /> 200 channels I have and Fuel is not one of them, so if they end up with the Racing packages I have issues i guess.17972 B.
