But besides ABC and NBC, they are the only ones who cover ALMS.

No one else in the U.S. will cover the 24 Hours of Le Mans unless a GT hits Ortelli again in his Courage-Oreca LC70 Judd...

I'm pissed at the Fox execs over the way they're run Speed. Are the ratings that bad for non Nascar racing in the US? So bad they would rather run "Livin' the Low Life"?

I might do that if it didn't come as part of our basic digital package.

Can we watch F1 in USA, on something other than Speed? That would make my decision easy.

What's happening to Speed is the same thing that happened to MTV a long time ago. Remember when MTV played music videos? Later, it became a bunch of crap that had nothing to do with music.
