    Hello everyone, just want to address a number of questions that have been raised after the Motorsport Monday article. Yes, it’s more than just a rumour, WRC Live Radio in its current form will be changing after Rally Corsica.

    I will explain more during our broadcast in Corsica of course. Every one of our listeners is important to us and we want to keep you fully informed. For 17 years I have been at the helm of WRC Live and it’s been an absolute pleasure.
    WRC Live Radio will change form and will become an audio feed direct from All Live and will, as before remain a FREE audio stream.

    Sorry, but that does not even sound good. Television, which All Live is, is a visual medium. If you do radio on TV, it's far from good. And radio from TV feed audio ...

    What they should do is implement the stage end radio reports into All Live, where they do not have a crew or someone asking questions. It's like the picture in picture thing that has been mentioned for years.

    I can see this being the start of the end of WRC Radio. The audio stream from the visual source will be poor and people wont put up with it.

    Guess they want everyone on a pay version ie. WRC+ as soon as possible.

    Couldn't agree more about the 'cartel' vibe.
    Honestly, after Kiri’s absence I started wonder how the people in charge of the WRC promotion look at us, rally fans. Maybe they consider us as a bunch of nerds or morons looking for some exotic motorsport entertainment and no appetite for serious information about the rallysport and its industry.

    Unless they realize they got the wrong profile of the rally audience and need to change it, probably they’ll never be able to provide a proper product. That’s really a shame.

    Because the product is still in beta phase, not a polish shelf ready product

    It's obviously popular enough with the manufacturers that they don't want to keep paying for Radio...

    Perhaps All Live has meant the audience for Rally Radio has fallen off a lot and thus not financially viable.

    This is bad. Because unless they introduce the option of a no commentary option, we are going to have to suffer with the two commentators talking over every decent on-board, as Radio listeners are tuning in to the same feed

    I've emailed WRC+ during every rally this year suggesting a Pure Sound option for ALL LIVE. I suggest others do the same.
