Roadkill no longer on Youtube

"Today this video was posted to announce the company’s new plan for the airing of Roadkill, Hot Rod Garage, Dirt Every Day, Engine Masters, Ignition, and Head2Head. Here’s the short version: new episodes of those shows will no longer be posted to YouTube, but they will be available free on MotorTrend.com. Right now you can see free new episodes of every series listed above.

Here are details as I understand them for now:
- MotorTrendOnDemand.com will become simply MotorTrend.com
- If you have a current subscription to Motor Trend OnDemand, it is still valid.
- All our shows will be available first to subscribers to MotorTrend.com, and will appear without ads.
- The free-to-view shows appear 8 weeks later and will have advertising in them.
- To see the free shows, go to MotorTrend.com, navigate to the series you want (like Roadkill), and look at the thumbnail photos. If there is no icon of a padlock in the upper left corner, you can watch for free. To see episodes with a padlock, you must subscribe.
- For a short time (could be just a few days) the company is offering MotorTrend.com subscriptions for $2.99/month instead of the normal $4.99 in order to encourage YouTube viewers to sign up.
- All the shows that used to be on YouTube are currently scheduled to continue on MotorTrend.com with the same number of episodes as before.
- In addition to the former YouTube shows, MT will continue to show our exclusive shows: Roadkill Garage, Junkyard Gold, Put Up Or Shut Up.
- All of our old episodes will continue to be on YouTube.
- The company has turned off commenting on all videos on YouTube as people react to this news. Comments might be turned back on in the future.
- Comments are now fully functional for subscribers on MotorTrend.com.
- There will be posts and comments from company agents other than me on the Roadkill social pages as they advertise this change and address questions.
- Older episodes of Roadkill will continue to appear on the Velocity cable network.
- Discovery and Velocity content will continue to appear on MotorTrend.com.There will be premieres before cable, and many past seasons can be viewed for free.
- The Motor Trend YouTube channel will continue to get new videos. They will be teasers for new episodes, cutdowns of episodes, and short-form content from all the TEN brands.

As you react to this news, please separate your feelings about company decisions from your comments about us hosts. Personally, I’m sad that Roadkill will no longer be available to those of you who can not afford a subscription—especially the kids who we’ve inspired to become car people. However, we hosts and producers still love what we do and we are lucky to do it and we want to continue making great shows. The best message you can send is to keep the original Motor Trend shows on top by continuing to watch on MotorTrend.com, even if you do it for free." David Freiburger
