ISC sign TV deal in USA
WRC promoter International Sportsworld Communicators (ISC) has secured a deal with Discovery Communication channel HD Theater, which has a total audience of 633 million.
Whilst its good to have covergae in an important market such as North America I just wonder if this means more X Games Staples Center type rallying, for the XBox/Playstation set. Sorry for cynicsm, it must be an age thing.

Please see to it that you follow these rules.
Kinda sucks that the WRC coverage will be of a time when there are just a couple of people worth watching before its Wilson, Rautenbach etc etc.John Vanlandingham
