I say that if Discovery doesn't air NPK or the outlaw shows then all of us fans should NOT watch any shows on Discovery Channel ever. They have no respect for the fans or the people that made the shows a fan favorite. Keep telling it like it is Sim.

[@dannyhaley7610]

AIR THE DAMN SHOW DISCOVERY.THATS MY FAVORITE SHOW AND IM A FAN OF IT AND I WANT IT AIRED DISCOVERY.

[@gregl5677]

Talk to Warner bros. It's not discovery anymore. Had a feeling this would happen.

[@jeffgrube9448]

Everyone should start messaging Discovery, asking where NPK6 & Street Outlaws are. If the fans bombard then, then they will know we want the shoes back!

[@user-xj8sj5nm4e]

Yeah this is bull shit discovery channel should air npk 6 that we haven't seen yet,plus all the other new street outlaws so get to it discovery I'm pissed I've been watching street outlaws for many many years and now discovery doesn't want to air it on tv

[@jubjubs1000]

so what 12 people?

It's over Sim

[@sfeltner187]

First race of npk season 7 they are not filming. Who knows about the rest. First three races is no points

[@jasonblack8639]

I do not see any cameras at first NPK7 race. And some people claiming no points or recording for first 5 races

[@freedomfox8183]

That's because it's being streamed instead... It's on KZbin now and there's a lot of talk about the UFC parent company buying Street outlaws from Discovery and streaming it or who knows there's a lot of things up in the air

[@rowan3289]

Either did I and this is probably why the racers are advertising on the own channels so they get there mech sales

[@greezy937]

They dropped Discovery

[@gregl5677]

​@@freedomfox8183not true at all. Discovery doesn't own it. Pilgrim the production company that makes it does. Discovery doesnt want to pay the price. Nobody else wants to buy it and air it. Doesn't mean future shows or o.g. street outlaws won't be on it. Dana white wants to do it more of a live stream style. I wouldn't want a live stream. Don't want to sit Infront of a t.v. for 7 hrs to watch it. Maybe a following week airing of a condensed down version.

We are racing fans, we enjoy the cars, the personalities of the drivers. Unfortunately we are not the millions of Americans who made that BooBoo kid famous and the Kadinkions millionaires. We are a small percentage of the channels market. We no longer matter, put a fork in it and follow them on the KZbins

[@seananon4893]

You need to drop cable tv anyways, its just a CIA brainwashing machine.

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Was at no prep maple grove day 1 today. A lot of drivers not there, didn’t see any filming going on. I think the ride is over. :-(

Spoke to a driver yesterday. A live steaming contract is in the works

Mud Madness is absolute trash. If they are airing that show over NPK Im done w Discovery.

[@scottsmith5623]

Holy crap that show BLOWS!! Scripted BS… hopefully this show will vanish into thin air like it needs to do.

[@skunkworks9635]

True words . I could give a crap

​@@rhegafdit's not discovery it's Warner Bros. They are trying to cut production budget to recouped the billions in losses and subscribers lost in the past 2 quarters. Lol. It's not discovery anymore. They merged with Warner Bros and it's been downhill ever since.

Discovery isn’t even filming season 7 there was no film crew at the track today

[@scottvaughan473]

Only 26 cars showed up to Maple Grove. Pilgrim isn’t on the Property filming

[@johnd.7651]

Really

[@shaneaucoin3617]

25 cars had to have a bye run

[@greezy937]

If you watch murder Nova on here then you know they are going to start showing the races live

[@deanbelanger7351]

Just had a quick look at some of the live feed from maple grove and have noticed that there are no TV cameras or camera booms on the the start line

[@PastorOverall]

Hey Sim, it's me Mr off topic 😊 I am watching season 7 and already I love how the start line is almost empty. You can see the entire burnout.😊 No more packs of people.

[@samarreguin318]

Hey Slim, I’ve been a fan of your channel since the very beginning and today Saturday, April 20. I got online with a live agent from discovery trying to figure this out and what they told me was they could not find any programming for this but what they could do is write a ticket so they could make season six available underneath a streaming platformas soon as possible so I got a feeling it’s a way to get the fans to spend more money in Stream discovery plus and not watch it on normal TV channels

[@justinmitchell9262]

Guess this is my last month of a discovery + subscription

[@AustinWhite-sw1vg]

I was Maple Grove yesterday. They had MAV TV sign by the tower.

Question....... has any since Pilgrim filming season 7 at this past event? I have only seen a couple video but I can't say I seen camera crew and etc. filming. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@bobaque70]

Someone in a chat said Lionsgate films/studios is purchasing Discovery or Pilgrim

[@arthurpul]

This is the reason why I’m counseling my discovery plus membership.

[@brandiDuncan-e7b]

We switched to philo bc discovery wasn't showing it. Philo did have every new show as it was coming out but the new season isnt available yet so im not sure whats going on.

[@crutterjr]

Sym, I would love to see NPK6 go to Motor Trend and be with other race type shows, saw some commericials for that mud maddness, NOT impressed, hope it all works out? Also watched 187's video and LOVE the new white car!!!

[@McG_Races]

I'm Here at 1st Race in PA!. THEY have NO CAMERAS & Pillgram (Sum My Friends) Also Not Here. Sadly looks Like this season won't Air! Fri Midnight Now & No CAMERAS yet besides KZbin like Stat Guy, etc, Here. 😢😢 Also About 10 Less Drivers. Will Post on IG. (Wasn't Rained out but they Acted like Didnt know what they doing until Race about start)

[@martinhiggs7027]

Sim I've posted this comment a few times and received tons of great comments ! Discovery is done here it's time for a better/new network that supports it's productions, here's a entertainment program "Street Outlaws" that has it's hard core fan base ! mud racing pit drama is one of Discovery's new HIT program's, "REALLY"

[@JET-Photo]

Rumor is WBD may not renew AEW wrestling. AEW gets double the ratings SO gets. I wonder if they just drop the whole season 6 on MAX along with the other seasons ? I think we have seen the end of SO on TV. On demand maybe, but as far as TV, things are changing.

[@chuckallen8088]

I dont think season 6 will ever be aired if discovery doesn't air it. Discovery bought season 6 from pilgrim already so they own the rights to season 6 film.

[@JET-Photo]

@chuckallen8088 WBD is Discovery. They've released every show but Nola on Max.

[@gregl5677]

Warner Bros tanked discovery after the merger. They will and try and force subscribers to join max and + to see the shows they want. They've lost billions in like the past 6 months.

[@joedale-6098]

Sim get to someone on the board of directors to pressure this dude to either due the right thing or get to HELL OUT.

[@juliehewes8982]

What really angers my husband is that we pay for cable, and also Discovery plus just to see the out laws without commercials and haven’t been any thing on except the new show verses the world and let’s face it! It was kinda cool but we still miss the street show with the list ! And npk

[@doodledork1097]

It's time the drivers speak out!! People are avoiding there youtube channels as they try to avoid spoilers, soo at the end of the day they are missing out on veiws and money in there pocket

Hey Sim did you hear Dave switched to twin turbos, on the Audi.

[@gerardotorres9963]

Finally, somebody had the guts to call it as it is Discovery Channel did the same thing to big chief

[@TATTDIS]

* big queef

[@timduvall8482]

If you remember back to early 2000's it was all about the speed channel then it went to spike then discovery, and Motor trend. Now it seems like both motor trend and discovery are falling apart. There is going to to be another shift as far as anything car building or racing is concerned With the recent deaths of a couple racers the Insurance companies are probably telling discovery to drop these shows or we cancel your insurance.

[@DependableAutoTruck]

there are enought people who are part of street autlows that have the money to buy the time on some network and produce it themselves or go ppv

[@richardolson3540]

I will not watch a Discovery Channel anymore. I don't think anybody else should either.

Poland said something about it on the limpy show with the other night. They will be on National Geographic.

[@rodneyhodgson2068]

One thing is for sure, boosted is not a guy that enjoys doing personal live streams, discovery asked driver to do it last year. Well he still is streaming so i have to wonder if discovery is still on board. If they are not, then why is boosted still streaming qualifying. Just a thought

Maybe Motertrend needs to pick em up then?. Is Pilgrim SO or Discovery or what?

Does discovery get money from the live events? Or are they only making money from filming and selling of the show advertising dollars and all that

[@Joe.G]

Sim 💪🏻

[@dippinthewic]

It doesnt look like Pilgrim is filming NPK 7..

[@gregl5677]

Had a feeling something like this might happen with warnerbros. They want low budget production and real high viewerships. Pay millions for a show and air it. Or pay 3 guys 5k to film other guys in mud and they dont havr to fork out for tracks or anything. Warnerbros hasnt done anything relevant. They are going to drove discovery into the mud with them. Warner Bros cost them and discovery 2 billion in the merger. And it's still declining. Now discovery+ is on a decline.

[@GPP1.8T20v]

Netflix or prime should jump on this

[@jimshinn7768]

The sponsors will follow Street Outlaws which is carrying The Discovery Channel. The new management is completely destroying their true base. I've been glued to The Discovery Channel for 15 years, now I just keep on scrolling. The Motortrend Channel has my viewership lately. I'll be at Epping on the 11th, supporting NPK, and the Street Outlaws...

[@greezy937]

Street outlaws dropped discovery. Starting the fourth race they are going to start showing the races live on a streaming service. With cameras in the pits as well

[@williamcottrill4708]

This has to do with the death of ryan during fastest in America. The lawsuit his family filed against discovery and pilgram studios. The nhra has wanted this stopped since day one going as far as threatening drivers with raceing license revoked if they continued on the streets.

[@Rick-N-Something]

They should just drop it on the streaming platform and be done

[@richieseagraves3497]

Drivers are live streaming season 7. Street outlaws will no longer air. It be only live stream. I follow up shift 360. And he live streamed it and there are no cameras filming maple grove

[@russellbrandes8020]

All.of the drivers on facebook are saying npk is going to be live. Saying that all the fans have be saying they want it live so they r going live and it won't be on TV anymore. Majority of fans comments I seen said we want it on TV still whether u wanna add live to it or not that's fine but we still want it on TV

[@randynix9805]

One question? As a fan of Discovery, and NPK. Who in the hell watches Naked and Afraid? The show has been running on Discovery for about 100 years it seems, and I personally have never even watched a full commercial for the show without changing the channel.

[@SimABCXYZ]

Thank you for bringing this up! There are SO MANY SHOWS that I’m like who actually watches this. The curse of oak island is another one for me. Like they haven’t found anything for years now why does the show still pull over like 1.6 million views a week

Pilgrim just needs to sell it to a different station

[@goldhunter9641]

There's no need for Discovery to show The NPK Races because anyone can watch every race online for free as it happens at each and every event

[@scottsmith5623]

Ok get this… my employer has is a corporate sponsor for our local track (UR), and has a tower suite. As an employee, I do get Fri/Sat tickets along with preferred parking. My first trip went great… free entry, great parking and a good show. The next year, however, showed just how GREEDY Discovery channel is… I got gate passes for both days but no preferred parking… oh well no biggie I’m happy for the free tix. I get inside and notice that they (Discovery) have had 95% of the “free” general seating bleachers TAKEN DOWN!!. I’ve gone to this track for 40 years and this was the first time those bleachers had been moved/removed. Buutt… you could pay a “premium” price and sit in the “ V I P” section on the other side of the track. Or you could pay their $79.00 to stand on the starting line with 150 drunks… Discovery is all about the $ folks, fu&k the sport, the drivers, the spectators… I watch NOTHING Discovery folks… especially that Mud Madness BS…

[@falcore9262]

Discovery has done a terrible job with street outlaws since npk started. Im glad there dropping the show. Another channel can make a name for themselves by picking it up and doing it right.

I think it has something to do with the guy who died snd is suing them. And now nate died in an unrelated race!🤷

[@ste_v1983]

Why doesn't motor trend or some other channel pick it up??

[@troy-from-cjrc]

Looks like nothing more than a traveling circus going forward. It's sounding like there will be no more filming which leads me to believe sponsors will be dropping out from the lack of TV exposure, and I can't imagine History Channel will be signing big checks for the racers either. I'm afraid it looks like a lot of people spent a lot of money and committed to racing in this series thinking it would keep going, but it's not looking good. Racing is a dangerous sport, people get hurt, people die, I think a few legal hurtles has Discovery rethinking their decision to promote this type of racing on their channel anymore. That's just my opinion anyway, could be any number of reasons. Now I'm gonna get back in the shop and see if I can finish the next car before season 9..........

[@riverrat4631]

The 405 show and NPK will not be on Discovery anymore. Watch Jeff Lutz KZbin channel. He cleaned out his OKC shop and moved back to PA. Shawn is putting out a huge amount of KZbin content. He is building a burnout truck for more content. The shows are over and people like Shawn with a big KZbin channel is already looking for ways to make new content like doing the burnout competition at Cleetus and cars and the freedom factory. If you watch the Jeff Lutz video where he is clearing out his shop on OKC he almost lets it slip. If they was going to film more 405 shows then why would Jeff move his shop back to PA?? They had a good run. But I believe the TV show from Discovery is over. I think NPK will stay a series, because of the people it brought to the tracks. But they will not be paying these guys to race. And without tv money they can’t afford a semi, stacker trailer, race car, motors, transmissions, a crew. Not for a chance at $40k. NPK will be old boys like me racing a 600hp car for a $5k purse at a local track. This is my opinion. Pilgrim May be trying to sell the show to another network. But that’s a lot of money for a tv show that’s a decade old.

[@jestablitz3804]
