Two channels to watch a full MX event. Do you think they would try doing that with football or baseball, doing that with basketball. watch the fan outrage happen there. America has the best damn motocrossers in the world. You who made the discession to split up two short motos are unamerican. Think about it, it’s about your greed and control of fans of a sport where Americans excel, how many sports can you say we dominate in like we do in motocross, not very many when it comes to a world wide competition. And you greedy jerks want to capitalize on the very people that made your companies big. You’re about as honest as our government, I’ll say it again, you’re unamerican.

Extremely pissed about this!! Another year that I’m going to miss the outdoors cause cable doesn’t carry Fuel TV. They need to go back to broadcasting this on Speed TV like 2 years ago. These events aren’t as big as Supercross but it is the same racers. Maybe the racing teams need to stand up and say something to get this changed. SO PISSED!!

Why do they continue to force this BS TV schedule on us?!?! At least they could show both motos for the 450′s at the same time and show both motos for the 250′s at the same time. Showing the first moto in each class and not broadcasting the second motos 2 or 3 days later on another station is ridiculous. I feel this shows disrespect to the sport and its fans.

Its just my opinion….but allisports.com SUCKS…NBCsports.SUCK…this is the worst…and now SX is goin to some other channel called foxsports 1…all u people that make these decisions are more concerned about puttin money in their pockets and dont give a crap about the fans…i wish many bad things to these people…they are BAD PEOPLE!!! Keep things simple and televise on one network and leave the politics out!!!

Bullshit TV Schedule again! Is there any other sport that you only get to see half of it on TV and the 2nd half is on another channel that doesnt even play it half of the time? Sucks Real Bad! You are killing the sport with ridiculous TV contracts like this!

Why is the tv schedule so messed up? Can anyone tell me where to watch moto 2 of hangtown?
May 18, 2013 12:24 pm
The TV schedule sucks. It’s one moto on FUEL which I get bet Dish don’t have it in HD. Then you gotta figure out when it will be on on either NBC or NBC Sports. So now if I wanted to watch it on NBC Sports, I’d have to add more to my pkg and I’m not doing it. It’s lame.
