Moto cross is what we all ride, stoopid cross is for the millionairs. We want to watch what we know and love since all of us have to pay the bills and go back to work on Monday morning. I hate going to a local track that was made for the handful of local pro’s then the track owner wonders why all of his racers are in the hospital. Give us full outdoor racing on one common channel. I have been racing since the late ’60′s and have no desire to stop because of stoopidcross reruns.

I have to agree with all of the comments already made regarding the screwed up TV coverage of the outdoor AMA MX series this year. This is the worst it has ever been. I have missed at least half of this years races for lack of me or my DVR being able to figure out when the races are on and what channel they are on at what time. This has been a huge step backwards for one of the most popular sporting events we have gong.

I agree with all. We are being forced to watch on a premium channel. Like some said, its all about the $$$ and don’t worry about the loyal viewers. When I get rid of directv I wont be seeing any race which i’ve been a fan of this sport for years. More corporate greed!!!! to the people that got you where you are now.

The biggest thing I dont understand is why on earth , whoever it was that switched it , they switched from speed to two differant channels . They don’t even show both Motos !! It’s all most impossible to enjoy the racing when u c the first moto and don’t get to watch the one that matters most .. THE SECOND MOTO ( THE FINISH ) !! Please go back to speed . The sport is way to large with way to many fans to have this bad of coverage !

Piss on fuel tv. All they have on there is gay ufc fighting and one national race a week. Why would i pay extra for that. I feel like watching fighting all day ill turn on spike tv.

Speed did a great job. I am very disappointed this year. We live in Dallas and have not miss a live race In over 12 years in both SX or MX! This is the first year we have had to look online to get the results. My 10 year is so sad this year about tv schedule for 2012 MX. I hope they will do a better job next year! We so look forward to watching this races.

Why the heck would you put two motos on two different days? Do you show the first half of football one day and the second half two days later on a different channel? This is nonsense.
I have my box set to automatically record MX on Fuel and CBS but for some reason it has still missed several motos. Discrepancy with the title descriptions from week to week?

My cable company doesn’t carry the races. Here’s a sport that can sell out a 75,000 seat stadium and the networks don’t carry it… !!?? I can’t even find a way to view the races online. (I’ve spent MANY hours trying to find a way.) This is a sport that the viewers actually participate in, probably more than any other televised sport besides poker.

I have a 10yr old son who has totally lost interest in MX now. When he was 3 he knew who Ricky Carmicheal was and he cheered for for Kevin Windham too. He’ll never watch another race and he’ll probably never ride a dirt bike again. Nice work boys. The next generation of riders has moved on to other more available means of entertainment.

I have personally sacrificed MUCH blood, sweat and tears promoting our sport. The sacrifices and commitments have been substantial. I hate to think it was all wasted as our sport fades away because there are no spectator opportunities on TV. We can do better.

The worst TV schedule ever!!! It’s too confusing to follow for me and I my DVR. I use the DVR to record all the races but it misses half of them because of the way they are promoted on the channels. Its always called something slightly different. i use key motocross words for the DVR search and that still does not work. I just get a bunch of recordings I did not want. One set time on one channel is the only way that makes sense!!! The current venue is ruining the sport!!!

Splitting the races up amongst three different channels is about the dumbest thing that has been done in televising anything. Unadilla today was on Fuel, NBCSPN and NBC. As a result I missed the second 450 moto.

Well theres #2 450 2nd moto missed because NBC played infomercials. You are ruining thesport instead of enhancing it. Why publish a schedule if you cant follow it. I have no desire to ever watch NBC sports again. We just missed Dungey clinching the championship.

The worst tv coverage ever!!! Someone needs to be fired!!!! Trying to kill a awesome sport… How in the hell can you get people interested in motocross when you can’t even find it on tv???? Dumbass!!! Waited all week to watch south wick , so recorded it because it said motocross. Got my stuff ready and buds came over to watch from work ….. We turn the tv on start the show and we get some old ass baseball shit… U guys fu%cking suck!!!speed please come back!!

Wow i finally get to watch second moto and bam!!! Replays of the olympics that ive watched for 2 weeks. What a joke, im so pissed over this bs. One channel and if you schedule it play it.

Yet another week of this HORRIBLE broadcast package…. Really CBS, you are not only not showing the second motos live, you are waiting until Tuesday!!!! Everything this year is a downgrade: FUEL is not available in HD on TW; splitting the motos and networks sucks; CBS almost seems like they are trying to tank the sport (maybe they have another sport that is in direct competition w/MX that they plan on promoting… for the conspiracy minded); and the availability on the internet is not and should not be considered an alternative to a competent TV package. It really makes me wonder if the sport isn’t actually dying…. which wouldn’t be a surprise given the way the mfg’s have crammed high cost four-strokes down the markets throat. The people in charge of this sport need to take a better look at the big picture and wake up…. I’ve said all this when WTF really kind of sums things up best. Signed… Highly disgruntled longtime MX fan and participant

Worst coverage ever! Epic F. U. I’ve decide not to even waste my time trying to watch instead I’m spending my weekend riding. Piss on Fuel TV and the AMA.

i agree i was very used to watching the races on one channel the swapping around is really nuts and i have missed a few races. i also enjoyed the European series and wonder if we are gonna see that again.

I could not agree more. I was waiting sooo long for the outdoor season and now I spend half my time just trying to figure out when and where the races are being broadcast. THIS IS THE DUMBEST IDEA EVER!!!! Speed channel did a perfect job with the 2012 SuperCross season. Lots of LIVE coverage and clearly laid out on the TV Guide. Why in the world did you go to this stupid setup? Thanks for messing up a perfectly good thing.

It’s a shame I can’t watch any of the AMA racing without paying a premium for some channel that I don’t even want. Looks like you will be losing my viewing.

Like all the rest of the blogs… I think this split moto schedule between two networks is ridiculous. I fortunately have both of those channels, but have to get on the internet and find out when the times are and set tv for 2 different recording times. UNFORTUNATELY, my family in town have the local basic cable (as do many others) which doesn’t carry Fuel tv. They do carry the SPEED channel which did an excellent job of covering the Outdoors last yr! So whomever decided to split the tv coverage between 2 networks made a bad decision. Hopefully for next season you guys reconsider and think about the millions of fans and viewers at home who can’t watch the outdoors at all or lucky if they catch some highlights!!

I can’t believe it! So lame. I won’t be watching it at all this year. NBC sucks! And I dont have Fuel and I won’t be getting it. I don’t want to watch too different channels that provide inadequate coverage at best!

This is crazy. Why in the world would the AMA Outdoors get taken off of Speed & CBS!? A lot of people don’t have FUEL or NBCSN & therefore have to go through hoops just to catch the latest race.. and that’s not even LIVE! Change it back to Speed!

I enjoyed the tv coverage of supercross and motocross on espn2 way back in the late 1990′s alot more. Granted the air time was 2:00AM, but you saw all the heats with Supercross and both motos with motocross.

I agree with everyone on the coverage lacking continuity and difficulty by the splits of moto 1 and 2 by different entities.

Here is the control box on the coverage. Be professional and let them know what you think of the 2012 coverage debacle.

” The Professional MX series is promoted and administrated by MX Sports, they can be reached at 304-284-0101.They will be able to assist you with any concerns regarding TV coverage. “

I agree with all of you that the scheduled tv races are really bad this year. We can record ours and still enjoy them, seeing them live is the way to go. We don’t like the crawler showing names and positions. When in color you can’t read them. We know what they are riding so that is not needed. However, after just watching Hangtown on nbc they are in b&W but so small and fast it is also hard to read. maybe we should all post on nbc sports?

If MX is not going to be on SPEED TV @ all this year I’m done with the greatest sport ever! It takes idiots like the AMA & Davey Combs to screw something so awesome up this bad! I don’t have Fuel TV just NBC & quite frankly NBC BITES!!! What in the hell happened to SPEED TV covering the outdoor season? Does anyone know?

When I was a kid, I was sooo happy ABC Wide World of sports showed any Motocross on tv. I remember the 80s and 250s and 500s at Carlsbad… Having said that, WTF is going on 30 years later?????? Moto X and Super X is the Motorcycle event to watch atleast in the USA. WHY ARE WE STILL IN THE DARK??????????? We want both motos and all heats at the same time televised at one time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get your heads out of your A*ses!!!!

Why is it so hard to put a TV schedule where people can watch Motocross on one channel instead of get screwed buy the cable internet companies because it is literally a marketing con job it will get to a point when nobody will even care Thanks!

Wow, you guys got this TOTALLY wrong. Hope that advertising money rolls in for ya, but I ain’t buying this B.S.

WTF!! I live in Canada and follow all the races indoor and outoor, now its all aired on Fuel and NBCSN?? Neither one of these channels are available in Canada!! How freakin retardedis this!! What happened to Speed tv? This SUCKS BIGTIME!!!!!!!!!!

Yup, it`s like AMA supercross…u got to watch the 250 lites on SPEED and then tune to CBS to watch the 450 class….really quite dumb if u ask me.
Even though i hate this i still try to watch because i need my fix….

You guys are taking a FIRST CLASS SPORT and giving it 3RD class coverage. Just MORE PROOF that thet “AMA” really doesn’t have a clue WTF it’s fans want. BTW, it MIGHT BE nice to know WHAT “time zone” these DUMB TIMED broadcasts are happening ! Eastern, Pacific, Mountain………………..”WTF” get it together or you’re gonna LOSE what viewers / fans you have left…………………….BJF

Common this schedule totally blows. We need these races LIVE! Moto has gotten to be huge let’s get these races on live tv!

This is pure crap! Its a worse idea than CBS’s half-assed coverage of Supercross. Thanks AMA. Not only for monopolizing and ripping racers off on the amature level, but also of fans of the pros. Going to Supercross this year was like being in the audience of an infomercial. I had hope for the outdoors, but you messed that up too.

WTF is this!!!! What a horrible schedule, this sport is huge!!! Who ever did this is a f*cking idiot!!!!

may 19th at 12 “AM” come on people. its not even showing up on my guide

This is rediculous. Along with CBS during some of the supercross races, you couldn’t see the whole 3 hours, LIKE SPEED DOES. Can’t anybody see that SPEED has so much better coverage of these events? What, can you not afford SPEED? Get with the picture!

This really really really sucks. We can’t watch a live Moto are you kidding.
This sport has a chance to be great but not with this TV time. Really ………..
is this the best you can do Davey, your smarter than this and you understand the sport
but this is complete BS. This is the first time ever the sports not worth watching
because of the disrespect to the viewer, And I’m still pissed the AMA won’t let me
qualify for the outdoors after winning the California State Championship and the Gold Cup just because I’m over 50. The sport is not for everyone anymore it’s like a closed
club. If Eric Pernard were the President this sport Motocross would be the greatset thing on Earth.
buster

This is hands down the worst tv schedule I have ever seen.What total BS.You mean to tell me to see who wins an over all,I have to tune in at two seperate air times.Lets just send our sport back to the stone age of no coverage at all.I’d like to know who is responsable for signing such a lame contract and how much of a kick back they got for totally f*cking us fans of ths amazing sport.I love my sport,but can’t say how much I’ll be watching.This sucks.
