Editing Speed (TV network) (section)

===International expansion===
Speed became available in [[Canada]] shortly after its U.S. launch. As Speedvision, Speed was approved by the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]] (CRTC) to be added to its list of foreign cable networks approved for carriage on Canadian cable and satellite providers in 1997.<ref name="pn-crtc-1997-96">{{cite web|url=http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1997/PB97-96.htm|title=Public Notice CRTC 1997-96|author=Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|date=July 22, 1997|access-date=March 5, 2013|author-link=Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission}}</ref> As such, Speed was carried by most Canadian television service providers. Prior to August 2013, Canadian viewers saw a largely identical schedule as the U.S. channel, although some programming, particularly live Formula 1 events, were [[Blackout (broadcasting)|blacked out]] to protect [[The Sports Network|TSN]], which holds domestic broadcast rights to F1 events (under CRTC rules, foreign services must own Canadian broadcast rights to the content they air).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/publications/satlist.htm|title=Revised list of non-Canadian programming services authorized for distribution as of 13 February 2013|author=Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|date=February 13, 2013|access-date=March 5, 2013|quote=Authorization for the services on this list is subject to the following: Providers of these foreign services must have obtained and must remain in possession of all necessary rights for the distribution of their programming in Canada. [...]|author-link=Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission}}</ref> However, this point became moot when NBC Sports Network obtained rights to F1 events beginning with the 2013 season, as that network is not available in Canada.

The Latin American version of Speed was launched on November 5, 2005 with a Brazilian version following in July 2006, carrying live coverage of the NASCAR Cup, Nationwide Series, and Truck Series, [[Rolex Sports Car Series]], American Le Mans Series (including 24 Hours of Le Mans), and the [[Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters]]. It also aired delayed coverage of the [[World Series by Renault]] and [[NASCAR Mexico]]. Other programming included highlights shows including [[British Formula 3 International Series|British Formula Three Championship]], the Argentine [[TC 2000]] and [[Turismo Carretera]], and the Colombian T.C. 2000 and delayed highlights of Australia's V8 Supercars, [[FIA GT]] (airing on a few months delay), [[AMA Supercross]] and [[Monster Jam]], as well as non-motorsport programs such as [[Grand Prix on Track]], [[Grand Prix Story]], [[Unique Whips]], [[Tuner Mania]] and [[Pinks (TV series)|Pinks]].

Speed launched in Australia on November 1, 2010 on [[Foxtel]] in both [[standard-definition television|standard]] and [[high-definition television|high definition]].<ref name="Speed TV Australia">{{cite web|url=http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2010/11/speed-is-on-the-air.html|title=SPEED is on the air|date=November 2010 |publisher=David Knox|access-date=November 2, 2010}}</ref> After months of negotiations and controversy, on March 25, 2011, Speed and Speed HD launched on subscription television provider [[Austar]].<ref name="SPEED Launches on Austar">{{cite web|url=http://www.austar.com.au/tv/about-austar/austar-news-speed.aspx|title=AUSTAR News: SPEED Channel , About Austar&nbsp;– AUSTAR Television|publisher=Austar|access-date=March 24, 2011|archive-date=May 26, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130526173046/http://www.austar.com.au/tv/about-austar/austar-news-speed.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref> Among other racing events, the Australian network aired NASCAR Cup, Nationwide and Truck Series, V8 Supercars and Superbike World Championship with the network also having its own version of ''Speed News''. Unlike the U.S. version, it was owned by [[Fox Sports Pty Limited]], a subsidiary of [[News Corp Australia]]&nbsp;– which no longer was directly connected to 21st Century Fox due to its inclusion in the [[News Corp|split]] of News Corporation.

On February 5, 2012, the Latin American channel was replaced in [[Brazil]] by a domestic version of [[Fox Sports (Brazil)|Fox Sports]]. Beginning in 2012, the network broadcast [[Formula 1]] free practices and live and delayed qualifying events and races, as well as live races from the GP2 Series and GP3 Series. On November 5, 2012, Speed Latin America was relaunched as [[Fox Sports Latinoamérica|Fox Sports 3]], whose programming remained focused on motorsports the following years.

On November 2, 2014, the Australian version of Speed closed and was replaced by [[Fox Sports (Australia)|Fox Sports 5]].<ref name="2014 Expansion">{{cite web|title=FOX Sports adding two more channels|url=http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2014/09/fox-sports-adding-two-more-channels.html|publisher=TV Tonight|first=David|last=Knox|date=3 September 2014|access-date=3 September 2014}}</ref><ref name="2014 Expansion2">{{cite web|title=BEST YEAR EVER IN 2015 DEMANDS SEVEN HIGH DEFINITION FOX SPORTS CHANNELS|url=http://www.knowfirst.info/forums/showthread.php?t=47471|publisher=KnowFirst|last=Mark@|date=3 September 2014|access-date=3 September 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140903121448/http://www.knowfirst.info/forums/showthread.php?t=47471|archive-date=3 September 2014|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
