As some of you already know, my Daughter works for Comcast in a managerial position. I had her reach out to a friend of hers that is in a "postion of knowledge" about this subject. The official company line "at this time" is that there are no immediate nor future plans of adding FS2 to the line up! Subject to change ONLY with customer feedback! They site costs vs customer base & feel that FS2 fees are to high (seems they charge per subscriber). There also appears to be some strong feelings from programming that they (Comcast) will not be subject to another power play like ESPN did.  So, all things being equal, we maybe should start researching another source for FS2! Comcast has no special place in my house, as there no discounts for family members and we pay full retail for everything. Verizon is available to me, just not Fios!!!  I'm giving thought to taking my Comcast video to "basic", keep the VOIP & Internet and have Dish for everything else.

Ctstreetrodder,

I've mentioned this in the past - Comcast does provide FS2 to some of its markets.  I'm in Eastern Mass, I have the triple play combo and get FS1 and FS2 as part of my package.  I don't know why some markets carry it and some don't.  We are in a former Adelphia area before Comcast took it over - that may have something to do with it.   

Perhaps your daughter could look into this and provide some explanation.

With a little more asking, I find that Comcast pays a fee/royalty for each subscriber "in the market it is offered in". This is my opinion only, but I guess it's all about "return on investment"! They/Comcast do not feel that the return would support the investment in my market area (Western Florida). So in other words my interests as a NASCAR devote has been marginalized!

I am also lead to believe that if this site is being hosted by Comcast then we can rest assured that "someone from cubicle 57" is assigned to check it out. Simply by the logg in system there is a trail to who we are. With our email address they/Comcast can pull up your complete account.Our only wish is that whomever you are, that you build a fire under someones "rectum"!!!!!!! Some of us WILL accept a lessor quality service to get our NASCAR coverage. On that you can be assured!!!!

what it just tells me is that it is false advertising all the way with comcast:

(1) they do not have the most sports live...directv has it

(2) they do not offer the best streaming platform (sports or not)...directv or dish or att uverse has it

(3) they lie about adding HD feeds for sports channels (be in sport HD anyone?)

(4) they do not add all the channels they promise (fox sports 2)

(5) they lie about all the streaming options they promised to give (be in sport play...)

i could have continued, but I guess this shows that if you can switch fast to the competitors...THEY have it all!

So you say you don't know when Fox Sports 2 will be on the lineup or at all.  Please know that Verizon Fios has this channel.  Please get with the program.  I, and many other Nascar fans, will not be able to see the Sprint Awards Banquet.  Who'se idea anyway was it to put the banquet on a channel that is not covered.  We all miss Speed channel.  It is not your fault that Fox Sports 1 sucks and we all miss the Speed Channel.    PLEASE add FS2.   Only 90 some days until the Daytona 500 and I'll bet a lot of coverage will be on FS2.     Thank you. 

The nascar awards show will be aired on this channel next Friday and I won't be able to see it because we don't get fx2.  We also miss some of the qualifying for some of the races because of it.  I am a big fan of racing and want to see it all.  When will we get fx2?

According to jayski website here is information about the Sprint cup awards banquet

Sunday, December 8, 2012: Sprint Cup Awards Banquet (re-air) on FoxSports1 at 12:00noon/et

For the first time ever we won't be able to watch the nascar awards banquet because it's on Fox sports 2. Comcast does not carry it in Boston area. Not bad for $220+ per mo. and we can't even watch what we want, but they have room for 100+ garbage channels that no one watches.
