Speed won't show WSBK in '13
 
According to SuperBike Planet Speed has no plans of show World Superbike and only 3 AMA/DMG races. Not even sure about MotoGP other than US rounds.

I emailed them yesterday and so should you!!

smokinjoe73 02-16-2013 04:00 PM

AW MAN!!! This better just be a stunt & not be true! I need my WSBK/MOTOGP!

Tebs 02-16-2013 05:56 PM

Not sure what fool(s) is running that place but they managed to lose their Formula 1 contract too.

Such a shame - it was ALWAYS better when it is was "Speedvision" anyway. Just gonna have to watch it on Youtube I guess. :D

Don't think they're broadcasting MotoGP or AMA either...only NASCRAP for the hillbillies...no offence to any of you hillbillies out there...:rolleyes:

+1 agreed, NASCRAP it is, nothing interesting to watch anymore... you may as well watch American Chopcrap, kinda goes hand in hand...

Tweety 02-17-2013 05:53 AM

Buhu... Just like in the rest of the crappy world then... I get ten friggin re-runs of whatever his name is wrecking an F1, which i couldn't care less about... And then a one minute "re-cap" of the WSBK... And a two minute re-cap of MotoGP...

Tweety, Thanks for the link!!

smokinjoe73 02-17-2013 10:05 AM

Well, I just huffed off an email to those gents down at speed. I suggest you guys do the same. That oughta show em.

They won't care, Speed is going away and is getting rebranded as Fox Sports soon and most of the stuff they show either get moved to Fox Sports 2 or (more likely) disappear completely. No great loss when half the programming is pure crap like Pass Time and Dumbest Stuff on Wheels.

smokinjoe73 02-17-2013 01:51 PM

True, but that makes it all the more painful. I get its corporate & its a country of RUBES that apparently love to see lowlifes yell at each other. Just leave me my racing! Dont make me go postal......

That's funny, really. I make jokes about hillbillies all the time, my S.O. is one (was). She hates nastycar.

Your very right.
I'd also like to see Fox everything go away as well.

I am actually pretty happy about this as I torrent all the WBSK races, and now there won't be any stupid SPEED uploads intermixed with the others.

I am sorry for those of you who were relying on speed to watch the racing :(

HRCA#1 02-18-2013 06:42 AM

OK I have to ask what is "Torrent"

Hopefully the OP will chime back in. In the mean time

This is a new one on me, but I like it.

OMG, just read that Al Jezzerra may acquire the TV rights for WSBK in the US!! See SuperBikePlanet.

smokinjoe73 02-19-2013 12:23 PM

What the heck does that mean?

CrankenFine 02-19-2013 02:04 PM

Al Gore sold his cable tv network, Current TV, to Al Jazeera. If they have the rights to carry this in the US, it's where you'll end up watching it.
So hope your local cable company continues to carry Current TV in their lineup if you want to see SBK. (Time Warner dropped CurrentTV from their lineup on news of the sale.)

What about AMA? That was some of the most intense racing last season. We may just have to egg the speed channel building instead of torching it.

bostonhawk 02-21-2013 03:39 AM

That sucks! I was counting on watching Phillip Island this weekend... :(

smokinjoe73 02-23-2013 09:54 AM

Yes

I read U can watch for FREE here

North America

might have a problem w/ Firefox browsers - so I read so I'm using IE.

8pm EST tonight

I'm using my HDMI & running it thru my TV - Eppa!!

smokinjoe73 02-23-2013 07:49 PM

Wow, just watched race 1 & supersport on bein sports network. I just called directv and asked if I could have it free for a while to try it and they gave it to me for 3 months. At least 10 times better than speed (I really despise speed now). Why even have a speed channel then drop bike racing? Oh yeah, cuz they suck.

+ 1. BeIN sports coverage was great :)

Caffeine 02-24-2013 05:22 PM

I didn't find much on speed related to motorcycle racing in the TV lineup, 3 events listed for the summer.. I posted "Feedback" very bottom of the speed page.. it can't hurt if we all do it! nothing to loose..

Race 2 was even better...felt really weird though, not having to fastforward through commercials...
