Fox Sports Media Group has named Scott Ackerson, EVP and Executive Producer for FSMG, as interim president of cable channel Speed, beginning Jan. 1. He will succeed Hunter Nickell who departs at the end of this month. “Moving forward, every program at Speed has to be of the same high quality you’d find on Fox Sports, and Scott can make that happen,” Fox Sports Media Group Chairman David Hill said. “In addition to overseeing all of Fox Sports’ studio production, Scott led the most successful, most-watched, NFL pregame show for 17 years, and his many talents will benefit Speed on-air immediately.” In addition to his new duties at Speed, Ackerson will continue in his current role at FSMG.

Good luck! It’s going to be an ambitious effort that will take lots of money and a significant investment in program development and more importantly, the right creative team.
It’s also going to fail, but at least you guys tried, right?
First thing they should do is rename the network “Slow”, or “Mostly boring re-runs”, or maybe even “The Nascar Network, with some other racing, sometimes, but mostly Nascar and auto reality shows that have nothing to do with racing”. When they first came on TV I use to watch it a lot. Now, rarely, and then only if it is something like Le Mans, or the the 24 Hours of Daytona. Not what you would call constant and all encompassing viewing.
