WRC on SPEED CHANNEL?

Will Speed Channel be covering the WRC this season? I can't seem to find it on their program guide. The Rally Monte Carlo is soon.

Rumor is that it will be on OLN (outdoor life network) since Speed Channel would rather air Nascar, Pinks and friggin unique whips

Hopefully they will do a better job covering it than the 1 hour recap show that speed has been running.

Speed seems to be going to "all nascar all the time", they hacve been threatening to for a while, and looks like this is the year we lose WRC.

such a waste....

all Speed has to do now is stop showing f1 and I will finally be able to cancel my satellite tv service.

Well gee, I'm glad that they are able to make time for Barrett Jackson, boat racing, and Texas Hardtails. Speed is breaking my heart like MTV did when they stopped playing music videos. Oh, and MTV2 (you know, the place where all the music went) is playing the same crap that's on MTV. At least they have Headbangers Ball. If it were not for that Vanessa chick on TRL, I'd be on FUSE all the time!

Speed channel is not the same anymore. There was so little motorcycle coverage other than motogp. I hope if OLN gets the contract that they will show the special stages and get rid of Speed's highlight format.

Did anyone catch this last night on Speed: http://www.speedtv.com/programs/85/

Awesome race and great coverage. I have to agree with what everyone is saying...it's a shame fo sho. And what's up with the Canadian Friggin tuner shows...the KIA/Daewoo project car is awesome...what is that.
