The 2013 ALMS also will feature a mix of races on ABC, ESPN2 and SPEED. Eight of its 10 events will air across the ABC and ESPN2 broadcast/cable television platforms. SPEED is set to deliver live coverage of the season-opening Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Fueled by Fresh From Florida, with the same to be confirmed regarding the cable network’s coverage of the Series’ season finale, Petit Le Mans powered by Mazda.
For all eight of the ALMS races that will air on ABC or ESPN2, qualifying sessions and race coverage will also stream live on ESPN3 and the WatchESPN app throughout the U.S., and internationally via ALMS.com.

The ALMS said screw off and I think they did fantastic for what they had to work with. And now SPEED is hurting so they want them back! I say well played ALMS!
