Lookey2000 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I found this paragraph on the internet... The big changes come in what airs when there isn't racing going on. SPEED's awful weekday programming, made up almost entirely of reruns of "Dumbest Stuff On Wheels", "Wrecked", "Monster Jam", "Pass Time" and "R U Faster Than A Redneck?", will be eliminated and replaced by an ESPN style combination of celebrity anchored sports talk shows (Regis Philbin is already confirmed to have one, strangely), in-depth analysis shows specific to a sport (Terry Bradshaw and the NFL on Fox gang already have an American Football show ready) and the rare live weekday event (from English Football to UFC sanctioned fighting). Furthermore, the amount of NASCAR based filler on the weekends will go down heavily, and while the aforementioned RaceDay will continue before every Sprint Cup Series event, shows like "Trackside" and "NASCAR Live" are under review and likely to be cancelled. Why Fox Sports? Why...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookey2000 Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Well if it isn't gonna be broadcasted on Fox Sports, where will Monster Jam turn to? Maybe CBS idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKM Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 YouTube could be a safe bet considering we all go there anyway because none of us want to wait 4months for a show we could watch 3 days or sooner after it occurred plus all the repeats in the past few years got really really old to the point I don't even watch Monster Jam on TV. Plus they have already tested some types of live streaming recently so I wouldn't be surprised one bit to see it completely absent from network television simply because I think even the networks were getting tired of the same old crap and treating every fan like they know absolutely nothing and not trying to further educate them on certain matters. I know if it was my network I wouldn't be too happy airing repeats constantly because the editors for Monster Jam apparently do not have any sense of time and zero live shows. I think it will be YouTube or none at all to be 100% honest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallica530 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Well, I was planning on dropping the Sports Package from Comcast, anyway. Looks like this is the final nail in the coffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Politeness Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 That is so sad.. Whoever wrote that should feel ashamed of himself, herself, ITself whatever. They're probably someone who thinks monster trucks is just redneck tripe and all we do is go "YEEHAW!" in our big jacked up FERD TERKS or something dumb like that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardRock2Day Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Hey, I like Dumbest Stuff on Wheels! Its a bunch of idiots doing stupid things to their cars. What could be better? Its like the AFV of automobiles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJFAN Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 At East Rutherford when they did the Speed TV FS intro Scott said something about Monster Jam moving to Fox sports, so I hope that means MJ will still be on TV... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warwizard Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I think that paragraph just looks like a stupid opinion. We don't even know what monster jam is doing. All we know is that they are moving to fox sports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobamatic Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Sports talk shows are becoming like golf corses. You can't throw a rock without hitting one. Everyone is looking at this as a negative but I see this as a positive. If they go a season without being on TV it may force them to change their product up. Racing has been boring for a long time and truthfully I really don't like the San Diego style tracks cause they only have one freaking obstacle. I want to see giant hills and racing over busses more than Monster Trucks Drifting. Freestyle could be amped up a bit too. I want to see them get rid of the cookie cutter tracks and make some unique stuff. This could be that needed drop in business that will bring some new ideas to light. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Hopkins Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 That is so sad.. Whoever wrote that should feel ashamed of himself, herself, ITself whatever. Sounds pretty spot on in my opinion. Mark and Scott are a terrible 'booth' combination couple that with commercials every other ten seconds and you get a poor show. Im sorry but if you think a 4 month delay, terrible announcer combination, and a show filled with commercials is great then im worried. As much as I hate to say this, in this case alone, no coverage is good coverage. Not to mention you can watch coverage 2 DAYS after the fact of racing and freestyle commercial FREE. I got so sick of hearing mark schrader I stopped watching years ago and have never once had the impulse to watch it, even when I flip to speed and its on I switch to another channel. How do you even justify waiting 4 months for poor coverage? Like ive said before, I'm GLAD its gone, it gives a shot at another TV broadcaster/channel to pick it up and do a decent job with it. So basically the broken rotted door shut and hopefully a new shinny door opens 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
