Speed TV owned by communist

[proechel539]

That's the conclusion I have come to, how could you not have AMA racing on TV, on a race weekend. Either Speed is screwin the pooch or DMG has it all screwed up! This is some frustrating shit. If only I was a NASCAR fan I would be in heaven. Speed really really sucks this year. It sucks worse every year!



I feel a little better now.

Remember Two Wheeled Tuesdays?  Yeah, they replaced that wiht a bunch of crap.

You are correct though- NASCAR fanatics probably jiz when the station comes on. Good grief....left, left, left, left, left AARRRRGGGHHH!!!!!!

Come on guys, pool together your money, make your own network, and put AMA races on live for free to the AMA and other motorcycle racing programs.

I think its the DMG not speed. besides most of the AMA races on tv the last few that i watched sucked anyway. idiots for anouncers who you would have never guessed they even rode motorcycles let alone knew anything about racing. they showed the same top bikes the whole show. and if a factory guy crashed or didnt finish well they mentioned him and showed him. only mentioned one or two priveteers the whole season.
same thing with that shitty magizinge road racing world they would talk about the top few then jump all the way to the back to talk about the factory fags who didnt finish the race and skip the priviteers.

Races will now be shown on SPEED every Saturday night with a 1-3 week delay from when the event actually happened, the new show is called 'AMA Pro Prime Time'. Ironically tonight (3/21/2009) is the 1st night of that new schedule and according to the info I'm seeing on Directv they will be playing the Sportbike and Supersport races from Daytona.

DMG was indeed responsible for the change because so many people were complaining about the randomness of when the races were being shown on SPEED and the inconsistency of which classes, I read somewhere that they are going to show the same classes from every event. DMG was also able to secure the same time slot every week for (I believe) 22 weeks straight on SPEED so people could set their DVR's to record the programs at the same time every week if they weren't available to watch (coverage should always start at 11pm EST). The only variation I remember in the programing schedule will be the amount of races shown per week, for example this week is only 1 hour long but some weeks will be 2 or 3 hours long.

Who the hell wants to watch a race 2-3 weeks after it actually happened and you know the results?  This is just stupid!  This is why I love Europe (EuroSport) they show all of the practice and qualifying for all of the classes as well as all of the races.

Remember back in the day when TNN covered the races, Hell those rednecks did a better job than Speed, from what I can remember!

[tzracer]

My DVR had no problem last year finding all the races and recording them. If I wanted to know when they were being shown, I just checked the list of shows to be recorded.

I like that the show on the 21st is 1 hour. So 2 races in a one hour show.

Anyone know who is hosting the show? Probably Ralph Shaheen and Greg White, I can hardly wait.

BTW I think you have succeeded in insulting the communists.

[proechel539]

My bag, I probably did insult them ( they would probably do a better job) bottom line is Speed really sucks and I wish someone else could take over the broadcasting! Last year my DVR did just fine also, Hell they could have all the races on from 3am till 6am and that would be great, then I could zoom zoom with my DVR.

Apparently Directv's info was wrong, they actually showed the Superbike race tonight.

  Whoever made the deal that gives us Sat. night motorcycle racing two weeks after the fact, failed at their task, it's not a good thing, and it is communist like.
I ain't happy about it, but that's the way it is.
20 million nascar viewers vs 100,000 motorcycle fans, can't be real shocked, but what a crappy deal. Last few seasons they at least pretended to care about same day delayed or at least the same weekend.

Another communistic outfit I think is superbike planet, these guys seem to really hate DMG and all their trying to do, no support for anything DMG.
Every article I read over there is so obviously biased it makes me wonder who or what entity is behind all of their BS.
Never any info on CCS, sometimes on WERA etc.
There's something wrong over there.

I saw one of their stupid poles tonight, 4 stupid choices to their smartass question about the Buell winning at  Fontana, downright un-American I say.
  some folks don't like the new rules, but that's what is, deal with it.

  I have a suspicion that MIC is behind all of their snidely remarks, dogging DMG at every opportunity, cheap attacks, poorly hidden amongst the flurry of wise ass words.

I look for a email address or contact page, can't find it, their hiding out.

They are damaging the sport in America in my opinion.

Damn.

I do find the communist reference humorous. Totalitarianism is probably a better description.
