Fox 1 u suck balls… bring back speed..
Can someone explain to all of us race fans why we must endure another stick and ball channel along with the other sports that the few care about. I would really like someone in position at FOX to step up and explain it. Yea I know good luck, I for one will not be entertaining the FOX follies FS1.
My husband LOVES the SPEED channel! He wants to cancel our cable!!!
This stinks!!! We love SPEED channel. Now we can’t watch any of these car repair shows!!!
Fox you suck
DOES FOX REALIZE THAT AUTO/MOTOR SPORTS IS THE LARGEST SPECTATOR SPORT IN THE WORLD MUCH LESS THE U.S. MORE PEOPLE GO TO THE RACES EVERY WEEK IN THE U.S. THAN ALL THE OTHER SPORTS PUT TOGETHER. DON’T BELIEVE ME, LOOK IT UP YOURSELF. AND THEN THEY ELIMINATE THE ONLY MOTOR SPORTS CHANNEL. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? NOW THEY HAVE ANOTHER RUN OF THE MILL, TALKING HEADS SPORTS BROADCAST JUST LIKE THE REST OF THEM.. CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE BIG DOWNGRADE..
WHAT THE HELL ARE YA THANKING O WAIT YOUR NOT THIS IS THE DAM O IM GOING TO BE SOMEWHAT NICE BUTT U SUCK FOR WHAT YOU DID TO SPEED I AM A RACER LOCAL SHORT TRACK SO STOP F ING WITH THE DAM TV NETWORKS THIS SHIT SUCKS
Wow…the Hubs is gonna loose it…..no speed?????? Why pay for cable…that’s the only reason I paid for big ole cable package, so he could watch speed channel. It’s the only channel he watches….guess I can drop my cable package to basic now. Not fair, there are soooo many channels already that cover all the other sports….the one channel for car people is gone!!!!!!!!!
This figures, the only channel for racing and car guys in general is history? I watched speed channel about 80% of the time and only 20% for everything else. Like we need another channel for soccer (a game for foreigners and pussies), football (on every other channel), Baseball (boring and on multiple channels), UFC (already on two channels that I know of) and hockey (does anyone still even watch this sport). Fox Sports 1 sucks!!!!! Unfortunately it is now the only way to watch Nascar? Hey big executives, suck my big one….
boycott foxx not just for a week or two why we are mad but months years from now.don’t forget how they took speed away
It looks like speed became fox sports. That blows it was one of the few channels I watched. Now it’s all UFC ( ultimate fondling club). I have no desire to watch 2 men roll around together in there underwear
The American way, big money determines everything that we the less fortunate do. Pretty soon you won’t be able to buy a cup of coffee without getting somebodies ok Got to love it
what about Race hub is it gone to guess we will be getting rid of our directv now because it all sucks.
Fox Sports only has fighting and the same mess all of the other sports channels have. Now Fox has ruined the only channel we had to watch our car shows. I will not watch anything on the Fox Sports channel and I am even thinking about getting rid of my Direct TV. I already have over half of the channels with football and crap that I don’t watch. Now I have to add more channels to the list.
This Really sucks no more pass time, car warriors, pinks????? theres nothing left on Cable
Why did the Speed channel switch to Fox Sports? Fox doesn’t have anything good on. We already have enough channels with fighting, baseall, football, etc. Speed was one of the only channels that had shows for car people. Bring Speed back!
I have Brighthouse now. They dropped SPEED CHANNEL for FOX sports. Now there isnt a channel worth watching on TV. BYE BYE Brighthouse! ! ! ! !
Speed channel really made a mistake moving / switching to Fox Sports. I agree with everyone else “There is already enough baseball, football, boxing, etc. channels on. The car people only had Speed and Fuel channels to watch. Now what do we have? It makes no sense! What is the use in paying for TV if there is nothing to watch.
fox1 sux give me speed
Spent 1 hour on hold yesterday with the concerned folks over at AT&T,my cable provider, to inquire about the loss of SPEED. After WASTING one hour of my life that I’ll never get back, these “concerned folks” at AT&T basically told me to go pound salt. ATTENTION FELLOW GEARHEADS: These Execs don’t give a RATS ASS about us.
