Fuel TV

Got reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly gay. I dont wanna watch fvckin boxing on an action sports channel. Its gotten to the point where i honestly barely watch it cause all they play is boxing and daily habit is just filled with lame comedians. I miss all the good shows they used to have.

end rant

word on the street is they can't afford to buy anything and they are pretty much done as a channel..

Slap in the face versus got king of wake

Agreed. FuelTv is kinda going down a slippery slope. Cubed is funny but wtf does it have to do with action sports...I hardly EVER watch it, just flip by it every time I watch tv (which is rare) hoping something worth watching will be on. 9 times out of 10, I just keep going. Sad...

versus (or I think it was called outdoor life at the time) actually used to show wakeboarding stuff a number of years ago. it's still a channel with good exposure, it's just not all "extreme" and "alternative" like fuel was.

NBC (who owns Versus) is making a pretty big push to get more sports on their networks so I'm not surprised that Versus picked up King of Wake. NBC just won the NHL tv contract, tried real hard to get the Pac 12 tv contract, and they just finished airing nearly every game from the collegiate rugby championships. They also seem to have some extreme sports show that they were advertising throughout the rugby broadcasts. King of Wake moving to Versus is probably for the best, because it will mean more casual viewers will tune in to watch. Hopefully there's more money in it for KoW, too.

eventually fuel is going to be almost all bro fights. I still watch all sorts of firsthands, new pollution, insane cinemas etc all the time. I have turned on fuel once to see MMA and it was in the evening. I usually watch TV early in the mornings.
