“Radford Reborn” premieres today, April 14, following historic British automotive company Radford Motors as it sets out to create the Radford Type 62-2, a reimagined version of the fabled Lotus Type 62. The docuseries can be found on Speedvision, a cable channel relaunched last year and headed by Bob Scanlon, who co-founded the original in 1995. Scanlon explains why Speedvision is a wild ride.
Speedvision is back. Why now?
Now is the perfect time. The widespread popularity and adoption of free ad-supported FAST platforms has created a significant opportunity for recognized brands like ours that create content that targets a passionate and engaged audience. What’s more, our content is extremely attractive to advertisers, and features recognized, expert on-air talent. Speedvision checks all those boxes and consequently we’ve had a huge first six months since our launch in Q4 2022. The Speedvision cable network might have gone away in the 2000s, but the audience never stopped loving the brand. This enabled us to resurrect Speedvision as a FAST network and connect immediately with legions of car-passionates who loved the brand before and many more who are just discovering us for the first time.
Where can we find Speedvision?
Viewers can find Speedvision virtually everywhere, as our distribution growth since launch has been meteoric. Just in the past month or so, we’ve launched on Amazon Freevee and Prime Video, on the Allen Media portfolio, and on FuboTV – and there are many more platforms adding us soon. A full list of our platform partners can be found at speedvisionnetwork.com/howtowatch. Our goal is to be available wherever the auto-passionate audience happens to be, all around the world.
