I don't get it.
I know others have lamented, but what exactly can I see when? Kinda hard to tell from the Daytona coverage.
This weekend at Fontana had 2 Superbike races, Daytona Sportbike, and Supersport. Will all of those races be on Speed? Last week was the whole 200 in one broadcast, then the Suprbike and an amalgamation of other races.
  • When I go to AMA.com, they're still selling tickets to the Fontana race.
  • At Speedtv.com their schedule still has the listings from last year, basically showing no races. Not even the new AMA Supersbikes Pro, or whatever it's called. And BTW, do we really need Ralph to interject before returning to the race, "Looks like Mladin is out in front, let's go back to the action!" Please don't tell me DMG blew all their money on that CGI intro crap.
    • And my TV can't go that far into the future to select programs. I mean it's not on 2 wheeled Tuesday.

    So what gives? What the hell am I gonna see?
    I guess there's always Spies (and now Hopkins!) on WSBK...

I didn't even bother Tivo-ing it. Watching a recent race after I know the results is less than satisfying.

Exactly why the "1 hour of prime time" is such a load of shit. 5 races, even in two hours would be cutting it tight (remember there are ads too).

sounds a lot like sportscenter.  i.e. that thing that's on some other time to highlight and discuss the games.  that were already shown in their entirety.

It's the nascar show after the race without the race on first. It's make the beast with two backsing bullshit is what it is.

If they're going for entertainment as opposed to the actual racing, why not just make it pay-per-view and have umbrella girls going down on each other?

Spidey, you should go run DMG.  Either you'll figure out how to stop the suckage, or in finishing off the series you'll make some decent television.

I just saw that the AMA Pro Whatever it is coverage is 2 hours tonight instead of one.

That means it's only half as bad as I thought. More Ted Bundy than Pol Pot.
