SPEEDVISION to Return as Streaming Channel

The SPEEDVISION television network is returning as a free ad-supported television streaming (FAST) network, the company announced.

The returning platform will be helmed by Robert Scanlon, a co-founder of the original network in 1995.

SPEEDVISION will debut with more than 500 hours of content as a free ad-supported television (FAST) network with a lineup that features personalities including Wayne Carini, Bill Goldberg, Mark Worman, Stacy David, Ant Anstead, Ray Evernham and more. Programming will include build shows, garage content, historical programming, auction coverage and more.

At launch, the network will be available without a subscription on nine FAST platforms including Redbox, Plex, TCL CHANNEL, MyBundle.TV, VIDAA, LocalNow, TheGrio, Sports.tv and Mansa.

“The original SPEEDVISION was the best media brand ever offered to the auto enthusiast audience and those fans still see it as the high-water mark in the genre,” said Scanlon.  “I know from first-hand experience that the team of content creators and strategic partners that we’ve enlisted for the new SPEEDVISION will match and build upon the legacy of the original, which has been imitated many times but never equaled.”
