R.I.P. Speed Channel, Sad To See You Go

i've wondered why haven't seen pass time in a while

 

HAHA true story! I can't stand watching US commentators on Moto racing, GP or AMA. Anyone interested in a good d/l source for MotoGP races PM me, I watch all of the MotoGP races from BBC Sport, way better coverage!

 

Oh really , he moved to NBC ?

 

He announced for spa on NBC.

 

Oh interesting

I get the BBC feed in Canada and have only seen a couple Speed rebroadcasts of races here , they sucked compared to the BBC feed and no picture in picture during the commercial breaks either

I did however watch F1 Debrief religiously and really miss that show

 

OK, I did a little research (google fu), he apparently is filling in for Diffey when he is attending Indy races.

Another topic, did Ralph Sheheen marry the bosses daughter over at Fox or something? I can't understand how they keep that guy on the air. I used to be a die hard WRC fan before speed dropped it, and I couldn't stand to watch it with Ralph. Supercross is just as bad.

 

I think Varsha was still under contract with Speed to do other stuff like Barrett-Jackson and stuff so that's why he didn't move over to NBC. He has sat in for Diffey at least twice now so I'm sure it will be a matter of time before the moves over as well. Agreed that Sheheen is painful to listen to.

 

What about dumb and dummer on TRUK U?
Their EXCESSIVE hand jestures are so annoying, they go out of their way to flail their hands around. I had to quit watching the show.

 

Barrett Jackson auction will live on. On 3 of the fox networks

aw that sucks. I used to watch the offroad racing every now and then on there. Was cool.

 

I think coverage of MotoGP has been better since it's gone to Fox Sports 1. IMO.

 

I watch Velocity on Xfinity, I like it but it doesnt have much racing coverage just car shows and auctions

 

{Rant ON}

This Irritates the SH!T outta me.. I mean we still have Velocity, but Like you, I had a Saturday routine, of watching shows like Gears in the morning on Speed, then switching over to Spike for the Power Block... Although it seemed Gears was a bit "dated"... (Stacey! The 80s called and they need their mullet back!! lol), it was still good to watch projects. Now I have a gaping hole in my Saturday routine..

And while we are on this subject, I'm really getting sick of all the d@mn channel movement on Comcast these days too! I really don't need anymore friggen Spanish channels added. I'm not real fond of paying for things I don't need or watch..

Lol, I watch shows like overhaulin, wheeler dealers, etc. I just like seeing what can be done with a few man hours and how they do it

 

Mike does nothing lol. and yeah Overhaulin is less cars more show.

 

Good Call! I haven't seen this! Ill look into it.. Thanks..

Lol

 

Exactly.. I really enjoy these types of shows. lately I have really enjoyed Fast N Loud.. at least these guys are reasonably entertaining!.. wheeler dealers, is a little quirky, but neat to watch.

 

Its kinda funny, Idk how they find the cars they do though. I realize its in Britain but if you look at those same cars here, they are at least 3 times the price lol.. I more watch it because Edd really knows his stuff and its pretty cool to see the steps he takes to fix them IMO
