I sent them a request for more Road Racing and WRC action. Thanks for starting this topic!

One more for Georgia!
MattJP 01-04-2005 06:25 PM

I replied to the feedback there....I asked them to add more WRC and ProRally coverage or programs. I mentioned that many people are interested in the purest form of motorsport :)

Well, thats how ESPN started out.

Its all about having a large enough market out there. ESPN saw an exploding sports market, so they introduced "ESPN Classic, ESPN in Spanish, etc" to cater to it.

As long as there is a *big* group of people out there who want something, TV channels will provide it, because that's how they make their money. Leaving feedback is one way of letting those TV channels know how *big* oru particular group is.

Carry on!!! We may have surpassed the 200 mark!! :disco:

Another polite message from Canada, thanking them for the year in review late
night rerun shows over the Xmas break. Though I sometimes watch on RDS.

Very true about ESPN. Man would I love to get ESPN Deportes (all soccer, all the time).

But Speed Channel will always be a niche, because there just aren't that many people interested in motorsports, as a percentage of the population. The highest rating ever garnered by an F1 broadcast, was smaller than the numbers that ESPN gets by accident.

Further, cable is an odd little beast. Networks make money based on ad revenues, which are tied to viewership numbers. The more people that watch a show (presuming it isn't hitting an extremely desired demographic), the more money they can charge. That's why the Super Bowl gets staggering per-minute dollar amounts for its ad blocks.

Cable, however, is different. Some channels are "go-withs." That is, they are started by another channel with actual clout, and carried in exchange for, say, a discount on the major channel. Others, such as HBO, charge a LOT for the privelege of being carried. Still others actually pay (vs. charging) to get on a cable lineup. We don't know which Speed Channel is, but based on its being part of the Fox family, and what happened to its subscriber numbers not too long after it was acquired, I'd bet it's verging on something of a "go-with," but not fully. Suddenly, Speed has a sugar daddy.

So the odds of Speed sprouting tentacles is nonexistent. Continue to make your voices heard, but don't forget to speak even more eloquently by watching your favorite programming, whenever it's on. If you have digital cable, or some sort of digital video recorder (TiVO, Replay TV), what you watch, in some systems, can be registered.

Feedback Posted.

Told 'em more WRC and rally racing in general.

edit: just got a response:

[quote]SPEED continues its coverage of the World Rally series once the new season
begins later this month.
[/quote]

Not exactly a response to the feedback I posted on their form requesting more frequent programming (more than twice a month), but I guess its better than nothing.
Flea 01-11-2005 11:51 AM

New Hampshire Representing...
Checked in and sent feedback (2x) telling them to show more WRC and rally racing in general.

No feedback yet...just a form saying they get so many emails I might not get one.
bigcale 01-12-2005 02:00 AM

I did it I wanna be on a list!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Midnight_Gold 01-12-2005 11:08 AM

I filled it out as well..

Though I can't believe that more of you did not mention to them how bizaare it is that SpeedTV would broadcast SchoolBus racing in their primetime slots, but leave WRC to latenight tv. Do rednecks truly rule the country?

mike270 01-15-2005 09:01 PM

I just setup Monte to record on my TiVo and noticed that we are getting 1.5 hours of coverage now according to the TiVo's schedule. Is this true or could it be a typo? It didn't have the Rally Magazine either, just 1.5 hrs of rally.

Maybe our efforts weren't in vain??

Whooooah- what the hey?!?
I wrote in and bitched a coupla days ago (and left NASCRAP out of it, although I mighta mentioned I can only watch the same episode of B-J Car Search so many times, LOL).
I noticed at that time, the 8 PM showing (Pac time) was one hour, but the midnight showing was 90 minutes...
Nice to see them increasing it, whatever the reason.
