Title: Speed TV
Post by: Dawn on August 20, 2003, 04:15:57 PM
Didn't I remember something in the press release from Speed TV stating that they would not be showing replay's of motorcycle racing?  This is why the total number of races aired will be decreased?

Is it just me or did they replay the Moto GP races on Tuesday?  I looked at the schedule on www.Speedtv.com and see more replay's on the way?

Did I miss something here?

Dawn   ??? :( :'(

Oh well, I guess you can chalk this up to one of life's dissapointments.

If you stop watching the channel altogether, where are you going to watch motorcycle racing? Not at all?

True.....

But Speed is heading that way now.  I am looking for someway to say:  Hey!  Neilson ratings are one tool to measure your viewership, but it is not always accurate.

Remember the saying about the squeeky wheel?

Apparently they've gotten lots of mail. I've heard White Greg mention it as well as Dave from Spain. You know what that means? They're ignoring the squeak. Question is: what will it take to become a roar?

That's the problam with Idiots, you can email them, write 'em snail mail, and call in to Dave from Spain, but in the end, they are still Idiots, because they just stare and drool when you hit 'em over the head with the brick. :o ;)
