WSBK is back and SPEED is no longer carrying the races. 

beINsports is the channel now where the racing can be found.  If you've got Time Warner Cable they're on channel 237 and 804HD.

The beINsports website has a place where you can input your zip code and cable provider to locate the exact channels for your situation.

Thanks for letting us know Cher.

At least it is on a real sports channel that knows how to show a match and hopefully a race without ad breaks.

Coverage should be good, it is listed as 7(or 6:30) - 11:30pm Saturday.

i thought WSBK was usually broadcasted at like noon?

I think SPEED channel pretty much showed WSBK whenever they damned well pleased, usually as filler in between the NASCAR soap opera.  Tape delayed almost always.

It's such a fine line between stupid and clever.

Lisa,

Did you confirm that you can get the BeIn sports on TWC?  Do you have any special sports package?  My neighbor has TWC but he said that he had to subscribe to view BeIn.  

I am so pissed at Verizon and their inability to get BeIn Sports that I am dumping them tomorrow and getting TWC installed so I can watch the races Saturday night. Just want to make sure I have the right package that includes BeIn Sports.  Looking at Verizon's website, not having BeIn sports has been their top customer complaint since September.

Thanks,

Swanny

Yeah, a few years back I added a $10.00 premium for soccer that wasn't covered under their basic cable package.  But we don't have HBO or anything like that, just the sports upgrade to the basic package.

Thank you ma'am! 

Maybe we can have a get some folks together to watch one of the races at my house this summer like the old days ... I can't go on a pre-race watching ride, but we can watch some races!

I was just thinking the same thing.

I started riding sport bikes in 08 and am just now becoming interested in watching and reading about racing.  Of course I didn't have much access to it before.  Some good stuff on YouTube and such sure helps. [Dolph]

Last year's WSBK races at least were usually posted on youtube in their entirety a day or two after the race  [Dolph]
