speed channel in US is useless

Speed Channel in the US and Canada lists the Czech MotoGP on their
programming schedule but what do we get instead? More effin NASCAR. As
if 20 out of every 24 hours kissing NASCAR butt isn't enough. They
should rename it the NASCAR station and be done with it.
This last minute pulling of MotoGP has happened too often.
I'm dumping Speed Channel from my Satellite package. Time to watch
MotoGP on the net. To bad it's controlled by Dorna, but I guess I'll
trade the completely incompetent morons for the somewhat incompetent
morons.

 

I was living in Canada when SpeedVision first started. Half the time
when they did show a bike race, it just went blank in Canada as they
didn't have the rights ot show it there. Then when they eventually
sorted it out they changed the programming to omit bikes almost
altogether anyway. Me and virtually everyone I knew wrote letters to
complain about the NASCARisation and were told they'd done the research
and were only responding to what their audience surveys told them folks
wanted to watch...

I found most North American tv to be like that. Loads of channels but
all any of them want to show is syndicated repeats of Seinfeld and
Friends. (Oh, and enough commercial breaks to drive anyone crazy.)

GAF?

Yes, actually. I watched WSB from Brno . I think MotoGP is on the DVR
but CBA to check just now.

 

I did wonder myself, but thought hey, maybe there are uk readers with
access to US channels, maybe USAF servicemen for instance. (Though why
they'd want to try and bother with SpeedVision in that case is beyond me.)
