Ok Speedvision fans you can now breate a little easier

Looks like things might not be as bad as it first seemed....Everything that I like is still going to be on. But it seems as though the F1 thing is still in the air. CART really needs Speedvision. The CART coverage has been lame for years on ABC and ESPN IMO. http://speedvision01.e-media.com/pub/articles/racing/08inews/011027b.html

No SCCA runoffs..? ;( They'd already announced most of this already so it's not a surprise, it's 2003 that might change....

Several of the series like the ALMS most likely had multiyear contracts. It will be interesting/critical to keep the pressure on Speedvi....err Speed Channel to renew as many NON-nascar series as possible. Did anyone notice the LACK of FIA GT or Touring Car series. Both of those didn't even make it through the 2001 schedule. But since the Almighty Dodge/Chrysler Viper took 1-2 in the FIA GT series...it would have been nice to see. And DTM/Aussie V8 touring....Speed Channelvision NEEDS to get on these products. keep those emails flowing... dave henrie "Jay J" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:7CmD7.41989$[email hidden]...

Lame or not, there's one huge advantage I see of the ABC/ESPN coverage over that of Speedvision ... I GET abc and espn, and I DON'T get speedvision :( I can't recall seeing the number of homes having access to speedvision, but it must pale in comparison (at least in the States) to the number having access to abc and/or espn. Although now that Fox is involved, the likelihood of individual cable systems picking it up is probably much greater than before.

Just off the top of my head, and this could be way off, but ESPN gets something like 80,000 homes and Speedchannelvision gets 45,000. That could change some if the DirectTV buyout of the Dish network goes through. dave henrie "Don Jennings" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9rmhj1$v4kkv$[email hidden]...

I left all the to's, froms, and forwards in be cause it looks like the response was some kind of memo from Jim Libertore, I think he is like the head honcho and stuff.

Our major changes with NASCAR will happen M,tu-fr. Our weekends will remain almost free of any NASCAR programming.

Yahooooooooo, it's great to see that as far as next year goes not much will change. The thing that was coolest about Speedvision was it's diversity. I hope that you guys win the battle for Formula 1 as well, that is my number one item on the Speedvision programing list, as well as all the other road racing events, LeMans, ALMS, Trans-Am, etc. and last but not least World Champianship Rally. Oh yea, I also enjoyed all the vintage coverage like Legends of Motorsport. Thanks Speed Channel Gerry Sweetland
