Oh, I think e can expect to see MMA push everythin on the back burner. Like I said, cheap to produce.

I don't know why you say that. Time Warner didn't have the NFL Network for years and years. These carriage wars could go on for some time.

If Fs1 ever becomes premium, I'll dump them.

Already seeing where SPEED motorsports programming is moving to FOX Sports 2. As confident as I am about the direction of motorsports on NBC Sports Network and NASCAR being on FS1 and NBCSN, I'm not so confident about other motorsports programming and think a lot of it will be on the obscure FOX Sports 2 cable channel.

It's not that serious
Although the FS1 launch is still over 2 weeks out I'd feel better if DirecTV had a carriage agreement in place. I have a feeling they are also going to use FXX as a bartering chip in this. "It's Always Hot in Philadelphia", "The League", "Legit" and "Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell" have a very loyal following and they are all moving to FXX. (I am a big fan of all 4 of those shows because they are funny as hell)

I'm shocked FOX isn't moving the Truck Series to FOX Sports 2. FOX is famous for that stuff.

They probably would if not for something in the contract. NASCAR probably learned their lesson from when FX had low penetration and would show a couple of Cup races per year to make people call their provider to demand FX.

The first two weeks look to have plenty of NASCAR coverage.

I wonder what happens to the other SPEED properties as well. The SPEED Channel iPhone app is a damn good app.

They at least worked their college football time slots around the Truck Series races. If there's anything else on a Saturday that isn't being covered already it will probably be moved to FS2. Most practices and qualifying sessions are on Friday anyways, and the Saturday Nationwide Series stuff is obviously going to be on ESPN networks. You also have to remember they're not always going to have college football tripleheaders like they do the first weekend. That alone frees up at least four hours of programming.

Several weekends they're only going to have doubleheaders (September 21/28, October 19, November 2). But yes, ultimately the second half stuff will be on NBC/NBCSN so it's not too big of a deal.

Only a couple weeks until @SPEED ceases to exist
So if you have stuff to do on wheels that's dumb, do it immediately.

Dish as well.
After just viewing their guide I can understand why I haven't ever watched that channel. If they throw some NASCAR on there I'll be there.

I hope it blows a connecting rod on lap 10 and spends the rest of the race in the garage.

We went to one in Atlanta a couple of years ago, decent food and pretty girls in skimpy outfits. We saw it and didn't know what it was and stopped, made my eyes happy.

just watched 30 min fs1 promo on speed.
showed all fs1 broadcast teams ---all stick-n-ball sports....even ufc........ plus mike tyson....regis philbin...mush/etc
but ........no race broadcasters in whole group ? maybe no contracts signed yet ?
sounds like nascar's gonna get "red headed stepchild" treatment......just like at espn.
in fact...whole promo looks like fs1 is usin espn biz model.

Color me surprised.
