Absolutely, it has been several generations go to source for automotive news. I remember dad watching it when I was a wee lad back in the late 80's/90's.
Side Story: My older bro's first car was a Chevy Sprint. While he was visiting me a few years ago I searched up that car & Motorweek popped up. While watching it Davis said it had "Hair raising performance". We both chuckled.
Boy have time's changed.

I love it as well since it used to be based out of MD. Not sure if it still is though
Jim Scoutten was the best! Love to do burnouts!

I still watch Motorweek Retro on Youtube. It's fantastic!
I believe it still is.
I love the Motorweek retro reviews, all the cars I grew up around. I also listen to their podcast.
It is still in Maryland, it is done by MPB, Maryland Public Broadcasting. Maybe it is Maryland Public Television, MPT. LOL
He was on a competitive show, Motor Trend TV (1995)
But was was also very good
More entertaining for sure, but we didn't have cable when I was a kid, so OTA Public TV it was

During the 80's without cable Motor Week,Nova,and Nature were part of my go to favorites along with AM Weather.Even through cable(1990) and now streaming(YTTV) I have the PBS app with the three loaded into my favorites.I still miss AM Weather with Carl Weiss and Wayne Winston.Even if it was on air I would watch it for nostalgia's sake.
As a retired weatherman I too miss AM Weather....
Yeah still filmed in Owings Mills Maryland
My complaint is that PBS now has the "all access pass " or whatever they call it, and they lock alot of online content. It used to be completely free. Maybe people don't donate as much/ or as often than before?
I used to drive the very roads they did the road tests on. I loved that show and enjoyed him as well as Pat Goss.
