Future Rally Media Coverage

I wonder how long they have been in trouble though and whether the FIA should have terminated their contract as soon as Antonov was arrested. The article linked to above states North One Television (separate company?) are owed £3m, S1T £1m, alledgedly the FIA haven't seen much of the money they are due for the rights...

They can only terminate when there's grounds or a breach in a contract. When they terminated must have been when they were able to do so.

I wonder if this collapse and subsequent fiasco would have influenced Fords decision had this happened before they announced their decision to stay? Right now what exactly are the teams getting for all their investment? The only two bits of exposure that have stood out lately were the full page adverts by MINI and Škoda.

The full page Skoda ad you refer to was for IRC, and both Mini and Skoda ads would have been funded by themselves.

Given that it went through an extensive tender process last time, this seems like quite the cosy little deal.

well, nobody hasn't said, that eurosport shows those highlights, they only do the filming and put the stuff togehter. maybe because taking eurosport in was a last minute call they already had contracts with australian open, snooker and with all other sports that they are showing.
