It was announced today the the previous rumors were true — Top Gear Australia and the Top Gear UK reruns will be moving from SBS to Channel Nine in Australia. Top Gear UK changing channels down there probably also explains the confusing mention of Clarkson in the rumors.

Top Gear Australia Changing Channels And Hosts?

It’s been a busy couple of days — first rumors of Fifth Gear getting canceled and now multiple reports that Australia’s Channel Nine has gained the rights from the BBC to do the show instead of SBS.
Rumor is that Shane Warne is being talked to to host the show as well as Jeremy Clarkson, although I have no idea how that would work.
We’ll let you know as the news comes in and thanks to everyone who sent in tips.

Fifth Gear Cancelled?

Posting this from the Quebec City airport, so this post will have to be brief.
Fifth Gear was canceled today — it will not be back according to The Daily Mail. While the show obviously wasn’t as entertaining to watch as Top Gear, it’s still a shame in my opinion.
However, Jonny Smith has been tweeting:
To answer all the tweets about Fifth Gear ending – I don’t know who the Daily Mail talked to, but nothing is official. TV is a fickle world.
FG is always compared to the big-budget epic movie monster that is TG. It can’t and won’t ever be TG. FG was always more, well, grass roots.
To be completely honest, it could be time for a fresh car TV show recipe. Right now I’m enjoying Industrial Junkie & motor journalism tho!

Top Gear Live 2009/2010

Top Gear Live is touring again this year. Here’s the locations for 2009/2010:
If one is anywhere near you, I’d recommend looking into attending. I’ve never been myself (nearest one is on the opposite side of the world from me), but from the photos and videos I’ve seen from previous years, it looks to be quite a spectacle.
