It's not the provider. Fox bought out Speed altogether. Nobody has it anymore.

I never really watch Speed, but I recently cut the cord, I got rid of Dish and went with all streaming services.

What are some of the shows you guys/gals watched on speed?

upflying · 08-18-2013, 06:11 PM

The change has to do with money. More money in sports than cars.
No one except us watched Pinks.
The young millennials don't even like cars...and if they do it's a Prius.

oh wtf!

I remember when it was called Speedvision... then I think for a time it went to the Speed Channel, then just to Speed... each time it seemed like the Nascar increased, and the other stuff diminished... Now its ALL gone, and that sucks! Remember the old TNN shows? They had some cool car programs back in the day that we lost too... Nothing for a gearhead to watch on TV anymore.

Now what will I watch when I am doing things around the house???????????????

dixonk · 08-19-2013, 01:27 AM

I am currently watching Velocity. Not a bad channel. Guess it will due.

FenwickHockey65 · 08-19-2013, 01:56 AM

Velocity is pretty good but they show a lot of non-automotive related things from time to time.

dixonk · 08-19-2013, 03:02 AM

Well if you count the Unique Whips show on Speed the Tech show that Velocity does equals out LOL. Always so disappointing turning on Speed only to see a show about big chrome wheels and speakers. I do admit sometimes they did some interesting things. Most of it out of taste though.

I can't help but think that somebody will pick up most of the shows that are gone...

2010SSRSM6 · 08-19-2013, 10:02 AM

Like we needed another BSPN type channel. Thanks Fox you F$&?ers!!!

I want pinks, pass time, le mans, australian v8 supercars, motogp, and GT racing.

Don't care about NASCAR (that's still there anyway) or unique whips, and really don't care about the mecum auto auction show.
