Title: Fuel TV
Post by: chixlegs on February 15, 2012, 10:23:16 AM
Why would the UFC bail on Spike TV -- a station that pretty much everyone has -- and start putting their stuff on Fuel TV?  Nobody fucking has Fuel TV!  It's not even an option in my city on Comcast.  I don't understand it.  What advantage is it to the UFC to make it so much less accessible to their fans to watch their fight cards?  Terrible fucking decision.  Pisses me off.  I hope the card tonight fucking flops. (sour grapes LOL)

And those who do have it have no early idea where it is.  On my cable the channel is in the high 400s, somewhere begin a Spanish language channel and a religious channel.

Yeah it was a stupid move.  At least put it on FX or something.

Fuel is FOX owned.  Just trying to get the premium from the cable operators.  Sure it won't last past a year.
