A sad end to some great shows…

People can always go to _Vice Grip Garage_ 😏, where they apparently have a good grip on vice, thanks to their **Vise** Grip pliers.

He will, as all the others, still have his/there YT channel, but his TV show will be gone for 2026… As I understand it, everything that was filmed in 2024 will be aired for 2025 line up…

Even the Kindig It show will be gone after the 2025 season ends…

Now I’m sure reruns will be showing for years to come…

The article was a bit confusing. I don’t equate streaming with the Motortrend cable channel I watch. I suppose it’s the same thing. Does this means the cable channel will shut down too?

The cable channel is mostly reruns or shows that were on the streaming platform first so it’s probably good to go for as long as they’re getting viewers or DVR numbers.

This video (30ish minutes) explains it much better…

But the TV show production will not happen going forward…

Well, that sucks. I liked watching all those shows.
