Title: The end of motorcycle racing on TV?
Post by: Admin on November 30, 2001, 03:18:18 PM
Not exactly sure what this means, but the synopsis is 9 hours of Nascar a day on Speedvision (renamed to "Speed Channel").  Doesn't sound like there will be much room for anything else.

"NASCAR TV will air between 3:00 p.m. and Midnight ET on weekday afternoons and evenings."

Well, that means 2 wheeled tuesday is from ??? till 3pm? it's a good thing nobody that owns a motorcycle has a job!

"Hi, speedvision - please cancel my subscription."

Reached this morning for comment, Speedvision Production's Dan Murphy said the Speedvision announcement was all a big mistake.

"What was written was wrong," Murphy said. "It should have said that NASCAR TV will run on Monday and Wednesday nights, while the motorcycle programming will remain on Tuesday nights. I think they will have a correction on that out today."
