    Re: Daytona 200

    I talked to Scott Russell at the NY show and he said that Speed is showing it but as of right now they will not be airing any other AMA racing. The AMA is being diligent in trying to find someone else to air the AMA this year but has yet to be successful. It sounds like this could very well be the end of AMA as we know it. With the total lack of tv time and all that advertising money, lack of manufacturer involvement. It doesn't look good that's for sure.

    Al jezeera is starting a couple of new sports channels with huge financial backing. I believe they will likely Be in the picture with bike racing this year. They are out bidding many networks on lots of BIG sporting events.

    That is unfortunate. I happened to like the series very much and it is far more fun to watch than MotoGP IMO.

    Holy crap. No AMA?? Can we just go burn down the speedchannel now? Would that be wrong? I know beinsports is showing wsbk but that is crazy about ama. Have you seen the toothless rubes all over the other trashy fake reality shows?

    Hell in a handbasket.

    Screw putting professional motorcycle racing on tv....

    We need more Cake Boss, Say Yes to the Dress, Long Island Medium and at least 68 more resturant/Kitchen Nightmares....no room for motorcycle racing...

    Speed channel is done soon anyway, Fox is changing it to an all sports channel with baseball etc to compete with ESPN. I don't imagine they'll cut any Nascar talk shows, though.

    Al jezeera is a highly regarded broadcasting and media company. Don't let the fact that they are always first with terrorist news fool you. They are an important link to the terror networks that we need to keep open in order to help in the global war. They aren't a terrorist organization in any way.

    Re: Daytona 200

    BeIn Sport had PHENOMINAL coverage of the Phillip Island WSBK round. 5 hours of coverage, UNINTERRUPTED BY COMMERCIALS, with an almost hour-long pre-race show....granted, since they had just completed the purchase of the broadcasting rights to WSBK earlier in the same week, they probably had no time to sell advertising - and thus, no commercials. But the bottom line is they put Speed to shame. And it's the same program (i.e. - the same commentators, the same coverage, the same thing). And a little FYI: BeIn Sport is owned by Al Jazeera, as Degsy stated - al Jazeera is owned by the country of Qatar - and are a US ally. And a very well respected - albeit not culturally understood by the average American - media outlet.

    The channel ROCKED WSBK = glad to have them.

    I was waiting for "we interrupt this coverage to bring you a never released video from Bin Laden's estate or something".

    Double bonus was watching SBK race 1 in the stands and then going accross the street for dinner and watching it on Speed. When I got back last night I couldn't find the 200 in my DVR recordins, only the 2 SBK races and the flat track.

    I was really surprised how small the flat track course was. Made for unimpressive racing in my opinion.

    It was only the 1/4 mile 450 singles. They do the 1/2 mile and mile run elsewhere and use twins. Its a pretty cool grass roots program though and those guys have amazing control of the bikes banging bars and sliding. I'll take MX and RR over it any day, but it was cool to go to (and cold to go to).

    Nothing stranger than hearing the announcer say Harley Davidson sponsored Honda or Kawi though.

    It almost looked like they were riding on ice. Never fully hooked up.

    I encountered the same issue, It just did not record, so by the time I tuned in they were already on lap 14....
