They do show a lot more Rally now you have to admit just as they have stated. There are a lot of people that don't appreciate the better types of racing.
I'll add my complaint letter to Speed when i get home... but...
I fscking tired of all of Speed's adverts. EVERY 6 mins. of ANY program ( I don't watch NASKAR, so I'm not 100% ) is a commercial break. I decided I would call them on it and sent in an email, and to my surprise got a reply.
I understand that they have to pay bills, but geez... It's 3 laps of F1, commercial, 4 laps of AMA, commercial, 6 min coverage of WRC, commercial, etc., etc...
In their reply, they stated "we're trying to place more of the advertisements in the middle instead of the beginning and end." WTF?!?!
You know... RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF RACING ACTION!!!
Grr...
But... as they are pretty much the ONLY pure motorsports station on MY cable network, wtf can you do?
