How do I watch Roadkill now it's disappeared off Amazon?

Discovery+. I think it's included on the basic £3.99/month tier.

Lot's of folk on Reddit complaining that Discovery+ doesn't have the latest episodes in the UK.

Such a shame that MotorTrend have cut off a huge amount of their audience who are willing to pay actual money to watch!

I'm having this same issue. Can't even find it on any dodgy streams at the moment, it isn't helping that Motortrend, Discovery and even the Roadkill social media accounts themselves just don't respond to any emails or messages.

They did the same with their magazine subscriptions a few years back now & you can only subscribe in the U.S & Canada ffs!

Pretty sure they’ve binned off MotorTrendOnDemand in the US also and now only way for the yanks to get it is Discovery+.

I used to have a MTOD sub but gave up after they pulled it from the UK. Shame as I loved Roadkill etc; still follow Finnegan and Freiburger on IG but they hardly seem to mention Roadkill anymore.

I had the Motor Trend app and they killed that. I took out Amazon Prime and paid extra again and they killed that.

I've found a few episodes of the new series on a streaming app, but can't stream Roadkill Garage or Faster with Cotton and Newbern for some reason. I've given up trying to pay them now as they obviously don't want my money.

Struggling to find the latest Roadworthy Rescues as well which is annoying. Hopefully they'll be added to a streaming site at some stage as well

I really not a fan of most American vloggers (Jason Cammisa) aside. RKG annoys the hell out of me, their approach to H&S is woeful, the throwing big power at some old shonky piece detritus pointless, the old dudes trying to be down with the kids laughable.

But the weird thing, it’s a compelling watch, and I have no idea why, the finished builds are of no interest to me, for some reason I enjoy it, because I don’t like it.

The whole 'throwing big money at junk' has always been a staple of RK/MotorTrend channels; one of the perks they enjoy by having huge sponsors. In fairness originally the videos were off the back of the magazine, as a way to keep up with an evolving landscape of print magazine going down the drain and digital consumption on the rise. RK vids started 10 years ago and are the OG for brining junk yard content into the mainstream; it's just grown from there.

Admittedly I gave up on them a few years back due to it becoming harder and harder to get their content and it was starting to feel samey; but still gotta appreciate the impact they've had on the US-side of auto youtube.

Finnegan had a YouTube channel which is pretty good.

Vice Grip Garage is a favourite of mine for something that's similar to the original RK. Derek must be one of the hardest working content creators out there
