ESPN axes Wire to Wire

[Bystander]

Well, I watch it and I think it's a shame they cancelled it.
Randy Moss is, imo, the only decent on-air racing analyst, and I'd rather hear & watch his recap of races TVG does not cover (Comcast in Boston does not offer HRTV) than watch any of the other racing "analysts" they bring out for stakes coverage. I'm never home for it, but seems to me there are enough viewers nowadays with Tivo or some other DVR system that will agree with me.

Me too! no TVG or HRTV around here...I tivo it to watch later...I think this sucks

No reason to complain, the information on there was old and already discussed three days after it happened. Nobody watched it, why do you think it was shown at 4am on Tuesday nights or whatever. I doubt many were waiting up all night to watch it

So far 3 Nobodys that watched it. Maybe it won't ever go back, but perhaps if enough fans email them, they'll reconsider. To me it's worth a try. One more thing down the tubes due to apathy............

If you don't want to deal with an online form, this simple email address will work to state your feelings about the show being cancelled.

I watched it every week (thanks to TiVo) and I am pissed at this news!! Sure I had seen most of the important races already, but sometimes they had some good stuff on there, or races I missed, and I liked Moss's imput. That show made it easier to keep up to date on what was going on in the sport during the weeks between the BC and the Suncrap Millions when I do not typically pay real close attention to the day-by-day events.
It is a shame.

I am wrong, I apologize, if I had Tivo, I probably would watch it

You must get TiVo. It is probably the greatest invention in the history of the universe.
Well no, the OTB was the greatest invention....but TiVo is a close second.

Unfortunately it's a business decision and I guess the show's viewership did not justify it. However, personally I think it's extremely unfortunate, as the show featured the top races from around the country and the best TV Racing Analyst in history disecting them. It is sad to think there is no real audience for that. We finally get someone, Randy Moss, who leads racing fans in the right direction, and he loses one of his platforms. It's unfortunate.

But, Steven A Smith has a show.

Good, Im glad it got cancelled. Now they can show more male cheerleading and scrabble competitions in that time slot.

again the general pulls out the 5 rattles...

how do you do it?

I liked the show but felt the 30 min limit to do, nothing but recap the previous weeks races was a rush job. If they would have there staff to have some discussion with the movers and shakers, a better audiance would have developed.
