Al Jazeera To Broadcast WSBK In the USA?!

Now who's going to show AMA?

With their luck, & how quiet its been (considering RRW just ran a piece about Daytona programming without so much as a peep about the rest). My guess is no one, they will probably try and half ass online stream BUT if they got no $$$ for the production crew then they are SOL

So on Dish Network, BEIN channel 392, now shows in the programming guide Saturday 2/23 at 4:30 our time, until 9:30.....wait for it.....Motorcycle racing! Five hours of SBK from Phillip Island...:thumbup

ha!

Comcast has you satellite clowns beat, hands down

we cable folk get 5 & a quarter hours o'coverage - the guide sez 4:30 - 9:45pm

so that's the 2 races + mebbe WSS, Superstock - perhaps even Superpole......

Crap, my current Comcast package doesn't include this damned channel. Guess I'll have to call and find out how much to add it.

It's showing in the beIN listings, but not on the DirectTV listing. Hmmm.

I'm getting worried. It shows 2 beIN channels, one active but the other is not active. It seems to have continuous basketball (college/women's/etc.), but is not listing anything else. Maybe they going to put it on the extra beIN blank channel? Help! :cry

Just update your package to include beIN

It was $4 more for dish, and i get a bunch of other channels.

you don't want the BeIN Espanol version - different programming & schedule

Comcast is notoriously inaccurate with their listings
SpeedTV is notoriously inaccurate with their listings

why should DirecTV be any different?

Oh I know, they do the same crap. I'm just wondering if my low-end subscription I had to get =to get SPEEDTV, also includes beIN. It currently DOES include the one station w/what seems like continuous basketball. I can see that right now. Shows nothing but more basketball in the listings for the weekend.

The other beIN channel is always/currently blank. Hmmm....?

moar fine tuning, per "RoadRacingWorld" site:

UPDATE:

It’s been confirmed that the World Superbike races at Phillip Island will be televised live Saturday, February 23 on beIN Sport TV [Comcast 429] beginning at 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time (not the 5:00 p.m. listed on the programming guide at www.beinsport.tv) .

For those who do not have access to beIN Sport TV, the races will also be shown via live streaming video on www.beinsport.tv. And contrary to what is stated in the FAQ (frequent asked questions) section on www.beinsport.com, network spokesmen have twice confirmed that no special login will be required to watch this coming weekend’s races via live streaming video

So, I have Charter Cable, they don't have BeInSport. I can watch a live stream from their Web site at 4:30 pm tomorrow?

The idea that an entire channel supposedly devoted to Motorsports (SPEED!) doesn't cover the best motorcycle racing series currently available is disgusting...

on a different note, it was great to read on the SBK site about McLaughlin, Pridmore, Cook Nielson & others - lotsa cred for the AMA [not AMA Pro!], & by extension the AFM, for Superbike racing's evolution to a World-level class

here's a sketch of Cook on The California Hot Rod [Old Blue], winning the '77 Daytona Superbike race - this victory helped cement Ducati's own cred in the US:
