Some recent developments. Speedvision ? NASCAR CHANNEL TO BE OR NOT TO BE????
This is from the S4 forum... Here some lines on the so called Speedvision conversion to the NASCAR channel.
"Speedvision chief Roger Werner had this to say about Speedvision and the NASCAR Channel: "Speedvision has been involved in onversations with NASCAR since the summer of 1999 regarding the creation and development of a NASCAR channel. Contrary to rumors, those discussions have in no way been related to.... "

V, those articles are from early 2001.....read this one from 6/22/01
une 22, 2001 Friday
SECTION: Sports; Pg. C02
LENGTH: 1210 words
HEADLINE: Fox rides high on success of NASCAR
BYLINE: Jim Carlisle; Sports writer
BODY:
NASCAR's first season on Fox has been everything the network could have hoped for
and then some.
Ratings for the Winston Cup races grew 18 percent over CBS and ABC last year and
even more incredible is the growth the sport gave to Fox's cable entities, Fox Sports
Net and FX.
On FSN, every NASCAR program, such as "Victory Lane" and "NASCAR This Morning,"
improved its time slot 60 to 100 percent over what was there before. FX was virtually
unknown before NASCAR came along. Now, seven of the network's highest rated
programs of all time are NASCAR-related. FX has added 8 million new homes since the
channel added NASCAR.
"From the FX perspective, NASCAR has been nothing short of a spectacular success,"
said FX president Peter Liguori. "...This sport has become a tremendous, cornerstone
addition to FX and we can't wait for next season."
Plans are in the works for Fox to acquire Speedvision by the end of the summer and for
that cable channel's NASCAR programming to increase dramatically. In fact, we might
not be far away from a total NASCAR network.
"I have always had this belief that NASCAR was the sleeping giant of American sport,"
said Fox Sports chairman David Hill.
