Talk:Speed (TV network)

message: Speed and upcoming all sports network Fox Sports 1 have distinct differences. Giving Fox Sports 1 a new article instead of simply renaming (or "moving") this one would make more sense.  This is a complete overhaul and replacement of the channel.  FS1 will have a broad focus on all sports, while Speed had a single sport focus. Feel free to add opinions.

thread_title:  Proposition for new separate article for Fox Sports 1 

message: I didn't know there was already a SPEED article in this encyclopedia. Can this one stay? It has more info than this one: SPEED. Mike Hackney
:I just changed the SPEED article to redirect this article, so it's all good now.--SonicAD 00:21, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redirection 

message: As many of you who write this in the US, can any of you be able to provide proof that if SPEED still screen the British Touring Car Championship as I still got a copy of a JAN '98 issue of Racer magazine and the BTCC is listed on the channel.
I can provide proof with my eyes, anyway, and there was no BTCC coverage this off-season (2007-2008).  They did show V8 Supercars Australia and DTM as usual, but no BTCC.  Anyway, I torrented them throughout the year, so at least the channel, in the past, opened my eyes to the series and I found the action myself.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Senna27 (talk • contribs) 15:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

:After all, the page doesn't currently start with "SPEED Channel is a channel ...".  I'll think about what it is, and try  to avoid sounding inane.--SportWagon 19:30, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lead section 

message: Bleah.  So I made it say "SPEED Channel is a channel.   I've hidden it a little bit, so it's not too inane. Right now the article reads inconsistently, since I can't really see how the entity is a television network rather than a television channel, since no local affiliate content is ever added.  But I don't feel strongly enough about it right now to unilaterally remove the inconsistency.
With respect to:
:In late 2005, SPEED Channel rebranded themselves as SPEED, cancelling some TV shows including NASCAR Nation.
I don't know it that was a legal organizational change, or just a change of company conventions and standards. See  now simply SPEED above.--SportWagon 22:53, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Channel or  Network? 

message: What does this mean? I seriously doubt that NASCAR forced Speed to stop showing WRC events, but that's what's implied by that statement. 169.233.38.156 (talk) 05:28, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "it quit coverage of WRC, due to its current NASCAR contract" 

message: The program lists are outdated, the shows (although most are vaguely related to the sport- note the quotes in the heading)have not been added or even have pages; really the whole program list needs a major overhaul.--raganbaby_6 20:50, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Current 'NASCAR' Monday night lineup

message: Does anybody out there have a video of Speed's farewell speech from 6am on 8-17-13?
If so, I'm sure some, like myself, would like to see it.
I'm just asking this out of curiosity, after having seen a video of the final moments of the Fine Living Network involving the Grim Reaper back on 5/31/10 before it changed to Cooking Channel.

replies: text: Thanks for the help. I had been looking everywhere for this. I cant stand stick and ball sports and will miss Speed very much. It brings back memories of them ruining MTV and Headline News. RIP Speed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.23.40.195 (talk) 16:12, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
