Ferrari Mailing List: Re: The End of Speed -TV

[Rick Moseley (ramosel]

If you go to the SpeedTV.com website you'll see that Speed is just becoming Fox Sports 1.    From the disclaimers it looks like they will carry most of the same content.  I think losing F1 hurt Speed more than they want to admit.  

It may be a good thing; hopefully they will find some better content than showing 3 year old Monster Truck events when there is no live motorsports.

I agree completely!  Then I wondered if perhaps FoxSports now owns SpeedTV and are possibly converting from Speed to FxSports?   I am really concerned that we may lose Speeds amazing coverage of LeMans, Daytona and Sebring.   I wonder if Speed will still be available on DirectTV or DishTV?  Maybe programming can be downloaded from the Speed website?   Guess I'll go searching....  At this point i don't know whether to comlain to Comcast or FxSports....

for Golf and Tennis why do they feel the need one more generic Sports 
Channel?
