New TV Show

[jeff s]

There's a new TV Show called V8TV starting in April on Mens Channel on Dish Network. It's produced by a former producer of Hot Rod TV.
Drag Racer Nick Scavo is hosting. The description on www.menschanneltv.com even mentions they'll be covering Pro-Touring.
They spent 6 hours filming at my shop Saturday for the April 9th (?)episode. There will be a new episode every 2 weeks and I'm told It'll be more technical than anything out there.

I think they are shooting at a friend's shop here in Wisconsin later this week. My cable company does not carry the Men's channel, I've got to get that fixed.

Doh! I need a dish!

[groovyjay]

Can't wait to watch it! :firefire:

[trapin]

Larry...what are you waiting for?

Come over to the dark side, my friend. Cable is dead.

[jeff s]

Did anyone see the show? It's on tomorrow Saturday Apr 9 at 5pm Central time.
Some cable networks carry Mens Channel too, just not on DirecTv yet.

[jeff s]

10 million Dishnetwork subscribers and 10 million cable subscribers get Mens Channel, 20 million total and no one here saw it? It replays tomorrow Sunday

jeff, I saw it Saturday and can't wait to see the car in person. Wish they would of showed your shop a little more or you working on a car

[jeff s]

Thanks, Imagine and Pfaff came up with an awesome design. You never know what they're gonna show from the 6 hours they filmed at my shop. How'd you like the rest of the show? The Muscle car collection, other shops, and Tech?
The show re-airs this week Wed 9.30 pm, Sat 5pm, Sun 6:30 pm Central times. It's channel 218 on dishnet not sure on cable, look for "MENS"

[ProdigyCustoms]

Maybe someone can record it and post you segment for us without Dish.

[cmcnitt]

I have it in mpeg2, if somebody can tell me how to reduce it to a smaller size I'll send it on (it's currently 723 meg).

Jeff,
I got to see it this weekend and I thought it was pretty good. I didn't miss all the argueing, the crazy stunts, or the unreasonable deadlines that some producers think is needed to make a show interesting. I think real car guys don't need all the drama, just give us the info.

[jeff s]

Yea, it's produced and hosted by real car guys and I think you can tell. I don't have Dish Network either, but I'm told many places have Mens Channel and V8TV on basic Cable. Like Phoenix for example. I'm also told this channel has many former execs of from the earlier days of Speed Channel before it became Nascar and they're gonna step up the car programs.
