Speedvision = comercials interupted by race
ABC = race interupted by commercials
but Speed does have the best commentaries |

Last year I waited for the Speedchannel race repeats before watching them - the commentary is worth the wait. On top of that, you do get to see the discussions afterwards, which are always nice.

ABC - "Anything But Cars"
I, too, wish Speed Channel would get them all. My concern is that in the future Speed channel will turn into a 24/7 NASCAR channel. |

ABC's coverage did suck. Everbody gets the better feed this year. F1 always waits till the last minute to do the contract with speed. It's ashame the better bigger races get the worst initial coverage. |

I like seeing the drivers on the podium after the race as well as the press conference. Speed always has this but I don't remember ABC doing this. That is my complaint.
The feed shouldn't be a problem though, I believe the digital feed was going to be done as a pay-per-view, but there was not enough interest. Now that the pay-per-view idea has been canned, Speed should get the digital feed as well.
At least that is what I think will happen, could be wrong though. |

Well, I do like the Speed commentary better however it appeared to me that ABC got the better feed (Bernie Feed) last year and had better camera shots.
I think Speed picks up the non-pay feed. I would be nice if Speed could do the commentary using "Bernie Feed". |

I hope Speed gets them all,ABC race coverage trully sucks BIGTIME!I understand that they had to promote the Red Bull driver thingy but almost half an hour in a two hour show?and at the time limit,it's off,gone,bye-bye,to bring you senior wanker golf,WTF!,actually i think ABC,CBS and NBC should stay away from my racing dangit,wasn't it ABSUCKS that a few years ago began the FIRST race of the CART season 16 laps into it?
AAAAARRGH!!!
Also,while i'm at it,let's clone Bob Varsha,so we can have him in both CART and F-1,Varsha-Hobbo and Matchett (sp?)in F-1,and Varsha,Kendall and Daly in CART,get rid of the other guy in F-1 what's his name...
O.K.,sorry,end of rant. |

Speed does not yet have the contract signed with Bernie!
Should be a done deal soon. I think Bernie is holding off to see if he can get more money from other networks and whatever he does not seel he dumps to Speed.
Pretty sad but all business I guess! |

The lastest issue of auto week states that speed channel will be covering Monza (Italian GP)this year and not ABC. Otherwise the issue agrees with Frank (Monoco, Montreal & Indy).
Speed Channel is not posting anything about coverage on their web site as of yet. |

Speed for all races except Monoco, Italian GP, Canadian GP and USGP which will be covered again by ABC is my understanding. |
