People also watched See all But on August 17, , that channel goes dark. In terms of motorsports, you will still largely be able to get your fix on FS1 and Fox Sports 2 formerly FuelTV via much of the same Speed programming. Their , and , weekly viewers as tabulated by Nielsen Media Research on Sunday nights were not sufficient to ward off the ax.
The demise of Speed was purely economic. Earlier this year, Rupert Murdoch split his media empire into two separately traded public companies. Speed was parceled off to the newly formed Twenty-First Century Fox, where reinventing the channel as FS1 will be a major earnings driver, as will bundling FS1 and FS2 in contracts with content providers.
The eclectic nature of Speedvision—not the wall-to-wall stock-car racing of Speed Channel—is what had attracted viewers like Jay Leno. I like things that roll, explode, and make noise. Sam Posey had been at the height of motorsports broadcasting, working for ABC Sports during its halcyon days.
It was a bit haphazard at the beginning. What are we doing? Be at such-and-such a place at 11 on Monday. But it was a blast, an absolute blast. I look at my time with Speedvision as being one with great creative freedom and great license to have fun on television. How cool was that!
