Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p Speed is a sports-oriented cable and satellite television network dedicated to motorsports owned by the Fox Sports Media Group division of 21st Century Fox. Although based in the United States, Speed ceased being available to most U.S. viewers and ceased as a stand-alone network with its own original programming on August 17, 2013, when it was replaced by the general-interest sports network Fox Sports 1. The network remains available in Canada, the Caribbean, and Puerto Rico, airing archived Speed programming and live simulcasts of motorsports events shown on Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2 in the United States that would be otherwise unavailable to non-U.S. viewers. Speed's headquarters were located at University Research Park in Charlotte, North Carolina. When it originally launched in 1995 as Speedvision, the network carried a lineup featuring programs profiling the automobile and motorsports industries (including individual companies, vehicles, and teams), how-to series, and coverage of various domestic and international racing series (such as the Formula One World Championship, Rolex Sports Car Series, and the American Le Mans Series). After it was acquired by Fox in 2001 and re-launched as Speed Channel, the network's lineup became increasingly NASCAR-oriented; prior to its U.S. shutdown, Speed's lineup consisted mostly of automotive-themed reality shows, NASCAR-related programs (including coverage of practice and qualifying sessions, and full coverage of the Camping World Truck Series), along with news programs focusing on motorsports. Most of Speed's live event programming was carried over to Fox Sports 1 (or sister network Fox Sports 2), and is simulcast on the Speed network that remains available outside the U.S.Due to contractual changes associated with the relaunch, Fox was expected to temporarily distribute a version of Speed (separate from the international version) to fulfill contracts with providers that had not yet signed on for Fox Sports 1, carrying a loop of the network's past reality programming.Many of the programs once found on Speed can now be found in the United States on MAVTV, shows like Gearz, My Classic Car, Chop Cut Rebuild and Dream Car Garage as well as live coverage of racing events.. }
