Note: This would be different from Fox Sports Net, which is just the umbrella name for a bunch of regional sports networks.

I'm not sure if I get FuelTV to be honest, but I don't get why you'd move all of Speed's content to Fuel and get rid of Speed, unless FuelTV is rebranded as Speed. The position on the dial is a very powerful thing, you know...

Am I surprised by this move? No, it's a smart move by the broadcaster to compete with ESPN. It's not a huge loss anyway because aside from F1 and NASCAR Trucks, there really isn't anything worth watching on Speed... at least Car Warriors can get out.

Gotta love FOX for corrupting SPEED Channel, formerly known as Speedvision, but considering how crappy that channel has been in the past couple of years, it's not much of a surprise.

Snowboarding/skateboarding/surfing and other things related to that is on FuelTV, cause I remember skipping through it a few times when I had foxtel.

It's also home to a program called UFC Tonight, hosted by this jackass:

Or you make Fuel TV the new Sports Channel... but hey... that makes too much sense.

My question is, if this goes through, would F1 stick with wherever Speed goes, or would it go on the sports channel?

Let me Tweet Varsha on that. He might not have an answer right now, but I know he'll keep an eye out.

If it's motorsports programming hadn't went to pot, I would be for it. Make me relive my childhood years, watching ESPN every other Sunday morning to watch the F1 races

Tweeted Varsha. He replied that the report he read had the new network replacing FuelTV, and SPEED staying where it was.
