if speed channel not showing F1 race this week but has on fox why not give time.

chrislognshot · 07-08-2010, 12:46 PM

ever year when speed channel does not show F1 race but is showen on fox tv why do they not give time out for the race. each time they will show they are not holding it. but will not give time table for when fox or any other channel will be holding the race. its weird to see company not wanting to let viewers know where and when the race will be on. for some reason do not care to tell people where to find it when they are not showing it.

Because if they're not the ones showing it, they're not making any money off of you when you watch it on another network. Simple. If Speed channel actually cared about racing they'd show more than NASCAR 24/7... WHERE DID MY WRC GO?!?! Can you tell I'm holding a bit of a grudge?

i absolutely hate speed channel. it used to be good, but now if its not nascar, is freaking reality shows like the stupid nascar talent show. THATS NOT EVEN RACING RELATED YOU ****TARDS!!!!

I download rips of BBC coverage. I miss the Speed commentators, and I have to wait several hours for the BBC rips. But cable's just too expensive for what little I get out of it.

Fox delays the airing so Speed might not know when Fox actually plans to air it. Also, with Fox being a regional network, it may very well vary depending on what region you are in as well. I'd be more pissed about Speed telling me the wrong time than about taking two seconds to see when it is showing on Fox.

Does the BBC show the 1st and 3rd practice sessions?

MondoMor · 07-08-2010, 07:57 PM

I believe they cover everything. I only download the practices if I'm really jonesin'. Mostly I just watch the qualifying and races. Except for Spa.

I don't get them from the BBC, mind. They won't give anything to Americans. I depend on the magic of BitTorrent.

My thoughts exactly!!!

The only rally I get to watch is NEFR about an hour from my house.

Speed does a broad coverage of things. But the other day I did see a F1 race, I have no idea which one, but it was good.

chrislognshot · 07-08-2010, 10:36 PM

what happen was speed reach a deal with fox. and since fox owns speed channel they got for great price. would thought since fox own both channels they at least let people know where race going to be.
