Urgent: SpeedTV may cut WRC and SCCA Rally coverage

This is an email I received through our local rally group:

Urgent Notice To all American Rally Fans and Competitors

As the Rally season comes to a close, I believe a certain group of
people
need to be commended on a particularly good job. What we have seen with
this season's coverage of both the WRC and SCCA Pro Rally has been
absolutely superb. As many of us have been worried about the fact that
Speed TV will be predominantly NASCAR in the near future, now is the
time
to tell them that you want more rallying. This morning, I spoke with
the

producer of WRC for Speed TV. I was informed that they may have to cut
back on Rally coverage due to low ratings. With this, Speed TV
suggested
a
2 hour show to air 1 week after the event. Although, they also
suggested

moving the time slot forward to
8 pm so they can possibly gain more viewers.

With the recent visit of Nicky Grist to the WRC television coverage,
the

program has taken another leap forward with an exciting and new view to
this sport. Perhaps next season (with your input to Speed TV) we can
have
Nicky Grist coverage all season and perhaps get to see him on screen
here
in the United States and maybe even at our own SCCA rallies. If people
can
take just a quick moment of time and email the producers of Speed TV
and

let them know that theyre doing a great job, and that you would like
more
Nicky Grist commentary, more WRC coverage, and more SCCA Pro Rally, we
can
continue to enjoy the sport we all enjoy so much.
Please send all your comments to the following address.
Email: Viewermail@SpeedTV.com
This address is monitored daily by everyone from the top execs. at
Speed

TV to the program producers. Your comments really do matter!!

If we dont show them feedback we will lose rallying on TV!

Guys and Gals pass this on and post it where ever you can.......You
WON'T
be stricken with bad luck or anything , but it is very important
-Thanks

Good idea.

I sent them a mail which basically complimented them on their WRC and SCCA Pro Rally coverage. What we need to do most is make it known that their support of these events is very important and to not beg and plea for them to not stop coverage, but to make them realize how important their current coverage is, so that they'll continue it.

exactly dave! thats what i been doing in my emails nothing but good things to say. its all because of fox buyin out speedvison. they had to funk it up with nuttin but dumb roundy round racin. nascar takes sum skills but come on! they should just keep that on the nashville network. i emailed the two times no responses. they even dropped the scca coverage. i think they are bringin that back tough. oh hells---fight the power of fox........jim

I got this link back from someone at SpeedTV:

http://insider.speedtv.com/modules.php? ... forum=14&2

It basically acknowledges the campaign and says what they're doing.

I wrote a nice bit on how rally is up-and-coming and they would do well to keep their position as the only carriers of this holy sport.

Then I told them to kill high-rev tuners instead. That crap belongs on Comedy Central.

Bastard Comcast doesn't even carry Speed Channel up here anymore. 2 Golf Channels, though. I think I'd rather shoot myslef in the foot repeatedly with a bb gun than watch that sh.

I play golf and frisbee golf too sometimes. A buddy of mine actually has all the special frisbees that are for F.G.. They have putter frisbees, driver frisbees, ones that hook, ones that slice, straight flyers ect... It can be pretty fun. We usually go with a backpack full of brew too when we go. Makes it a fun walk.

Golf kicks ass to play but isn't a very good game to watch.
