Barrett-Jackson / Speed Channel E-Mail

[prototype]

Speed Channel advertisement:

"Coming to a TV set near you..... Barrett-Jackson, the all Corvette, all Hemi car auction. We will only show the cars we want to. BJ is the 800 pound gorilla of the collector car auction industry and we will do what we please"



NOT...........

At one point during the Friday auction I think it was, a reader emailed Speed and commented on the lack of exposure Pontiacs were getting. It seemed that everytime one came up, Speed cut away to commercial. After the email was read by the Speed commentators, you did see an increase on the coverage of Pontiacs. Speed did let you know about it.

No way SV/BJ can win at this. Pick up any car magazine and read the "letters tot he editor". More times then not, about too much of this, not enough of that, etc.
