I`m sure there will be some crappy live stream on justintv, unless Void Main will help us out. Blush

Yes Justin TV will be our best hope. Maybe we will have 5 or 6 channels to choose from and hopefully at least one in HQ Smile Felds new Live TV initiate with no web cast sure is working out well for all of us not in the USA isn't it! Angry

saying what?

that you STILL don't provide anyway for people outside of America to watch the WORLD supercross championship..... in case they didn't realise, because y'know, it's only been 4(?) years since they took over, and perhaps they accidentally might have done something to allow it happen

seriously a letter...Huh if any of FELD's recent actions have taught us all one thing, it's that they don't care about fans, they care about $$$..... and seeing as we use £££, they don't give two shits about us

FELD are an embarrassment to sports promotion.... say what you want about Youthstream but at least they allow people who live in the "world" to watch "world" championships *shock horror*

I know exactly how they are,and I know what you are saying. Smile
But,sending your concern to them is the best thing/only thing you can really do.
If it helps then great,if it doesn't at least you tried.
If they got flooded by mails from fans all over the world,I'm sure it would make some sorta impact on their decisions.
But ranting about it here on the boards,really doesn't help much.
It's a pretty bad deal for everyone,that they got rid of the webcast.

Myself and another person Ranted pretty hard on their supercross facebook page last week and got a response. It was actually pretty quick. I posted an email address for Feld and suggested everyone comment. Their response was predictable...cost to much and not a big enough audience. It is done and gone sorry........

Right...my guess is the firms that purchased the TV rights made the live webcast a issue, and Feld folded.

Want the answer, follow the moneySad

"Right...my guess is the firms that purchased the TV rights made the live webcast a issue, and Feld folded."



Feld actually pays to put Supercross on Speed TV & CBS,it isn't the other way around.

No-one purchased anything from them.



They just do not want to put the money into a live webcast as they have done in years past.

I believe the money was spent on more live TV races.
Which is good an all...
But not having any sort of live coverage for all the rounds really sucks for us fans that follow the series.

So SX is way behind in media marketing? I did not know that.

Thanks

Yeah.
It would be cool to see someone like ESPN take over the sport of Supercross.
Their marketing is light-years ahead of Feld's.
A network who owned their own property would be the way to go.
