It's back: Speedvision set to return later this fall

That’s right, every automotive enthusiast’s favorite channel will be revived.

In an article by The Hollywood Reporter, former Discovery execs, professional wrestler Bill Goldberg and NASCAR Cup Series team owner Rick Hendrick are looking to resurrect Speedvision as a free streaming network supported by ads. The cable channel launched in 1995 and was shut down by Fox in 2013.

The new Speedvision plans to debut later this fall. It will start with some 600 hours of content, featuring the likes of Goldberg, Wayne Carini, Mark Worman, Stacey David, Craig Jackson and Ray Evernham.

Speedvision used to cover SCCA ProRally back in the day. Hmm. ARA is attempting their first live coverage of an event at LSPR this weekend. HMMMM.

If they can bring it back to late 90's/early 00's greatness, I'm excited.

I hope that it's remotely close to what it was, but I fear that it'll be like a high school sweetheart who's single again after a divorce and three kids, or like the reincarnation of the Acura Integra. Not nearly as good looking as it was in 90s and with 40% more bloat.

We're one step closer to a reboot of American Sports Cavalcade and I'm on board.

Speedvision started up with zero advertisers, and ran old British car adverts where the proper ads should have gone. That is the best solution I have ever seen.

In Canada, we have Fox Sports Racing, which is what we got when Fox Sports shut down Speed. They, too, have no advertisers, and have never had any, but every break we get to see the promos for "Dead Truckers", "Loudmouth Rednecks" and all the other shows that sucked back in the Speed days.

I refuse to watch anything on that channel live.

If Speedvision comes back in something roughly approximating its original form, I will be happy.
