The 2010 SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge Championships will air on VERSUS instead of Speed Channel
TOPEKA, Kan. (Jan. 4, 2010) – WC Vision today announced that the 2010 SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge Championships will air on VERSUS.
The World Challenge Championships, consisting of three separate categories—GT, GTS and Touring Car—are America’s top production car-based series. The World Challenge 2010 telecasts will be 90-minute programs, up from 60 minutes in 2009, with high-quality production values, renowned announcers providing color commentary and feature segments with behind-the-scenes footage. Some telecasts will air around IZOD IndyCar Series programming and series information will also be included on www.versus.com.
VERSUS is the national cable television home of the NHL, the IZOD IndyCar Series, World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC), the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) and the Tour de France. The network also airs college football, featuring nationally ranked teams from top conferences such as the Pac-10, Big 12 and Mountain West and is home to original programming such as Sports Soup and Sports Jobs with Junior Seau.
“We are thrilled that our 2010 events will air on VERSUS,” WC Vision VP of Marketing and Communications Dave Drimmie said. “The series returns to a weekend timeslot and this year our fans will have a longer and more in-depth program. We’re also looking at a syndication package that would enable World Challenge to reach a total of 160 million households.”
The 2010 SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge Championships television schedule has been set as follows:
Race, Date, Time
Streets of St. Petersburg, Sunday, April 18, 2 p.m.
Streets of Long Beach, Saturday, May 1, 4:30 p.m.
Watkins Glen International, Saturday, July 17, 11 p.m.
Toronto / Mosport, Saturday, July 31, 3 p.m.
Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Saturday, Aug. 28, 4:30 p.m.
VIRginia International Raceway, Sunday, Sept. 26, 4:30 p.m.
TBA, Sunday, Oct. 17, 4:30 p.m.
Schedule subject to change. All times Eastern.
“This is a fantastic moment for the series,” WC Vision Co-Chair Bob Woodhouse said. “This deal with VERSUS gives us the best of both worlds: increased entertainment for the fans and increased value for sponsors.”
The final event on the 2010 World Challenge calendar will be announced shortly. More information on the series is available at www.world-challenge.com.

Y'all people of pay tv.
I gave up on cable/satellite broadcast when all I was recieving was hours of infomercials. Why should I pay for infomercials when I can get them for free with the use of a roof top antenna.

I like Versus b/c I have it included in my HD package. But, I can't stand the fact that it is owned by Comcast.
Vertical integration FAIL.

channelmaniac is on to something if you've seen unique whips, which is such a beating of a show.
wrc is on another channel. mx5 cup is, as well. It's just a matter of time before that network is dominated by more nascar and "reality" tv bull shit.
I think I watch more car related programming on HD Theater than Speed nowadays.
