Bummer.  Everything's moving to Discovery, so one less subscription cost, but I doubt Discovery will run it with the same model.  

 
I read that as Disney first.  Which would make sense considering a ton of the shows on MT+ are a bunch of clowns.

Disney would ruin it for certain, LOL.

There are a bunch of dumb shows on MT+ that are still going, yet Dirt Every Day got canceled.  Dumb.

Very dumb.  Not quite the same, but Dave and Fred separately have YT channels now.

Yep, watch them both, especially Dave's channel.  He's a fellow El Cajon import guy from back in the day, so I do what I can to support his channel.

 
Yeah curious how that's going to go. I only watch Roadkill, RK Garage, HR Garage and Engine Masters. UA also. Dirt Every Day used to be good but it turned into Destruction Every Day so wasn't too surprised when it did get cancelled. I do watch Dave's Dirt Head Shed on YT tho. The rest of the shows are a waste of time.

Like which shows. I tried watching custom Carolina and just can't watch it. Could be such a good show if they would show more Fab work and less BS and talking.

One thing that I've found to be BS about MT+ is that they would air episodes (albeit 80%) on YT prior to it being on MT.  If you pay for the subscription for MT content, I expect to see it first.

I tried watching chit last night and the “New episodes” ribbon is gone. :dunno:

My assumption is it’s gonna be worse without car guys running it. Discovery is where the OCC bullshit drama format started after all…

 
If Disney has anything to do with it, the new title will be:

WokeTrend

  :bag:

 
all these channels being absorbed by larger groups we will be back in the same issue as Cable Tv, having to buy chit just to see one or two good channels. 

 
Try Roku TV

Racing America, channel 243

Motor Trend, channel 244

MAV TV, channel 245

Power Nation, channel 246

Torque, channel 247

Top Gear, channel 248

NHRA, channel 249

 
And Discovery+ took the liberty of charging the NEW subscription price that is 3x what Motortrend was. :bird:

Did they auto-charge that, or did you sign up?

I got a "refund" from Discovery a few days ago for the old sub price of $20.xx, then this morning I was charged the new price of $59.xx.  I didn't "agree" to anything, nor have I even logged into MotorTrend in a while.  The Discovery site states they sent out an email about it, but I don't have one.

I haven't been charged yet, but I'm subscribed via the Apple Store for the app.
