    Are ITV to pull the plug on WRC coverage??

    It is reported today in Motorsport News that ITV are possibly thinking of pulling the plug on their coverage, instead it might go to one of the ITV digital channels. Can't say I'm surprised by this; no leading British driver challenging for wins, sometimes put on after midnight, no extra coverage for Rally GB,etc. Just somes up the state of the WRC in this country at the moment, any thoughts??

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    I always watched it on Eurosport anyway. No big deal At least for me
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    It's the same coverage as Eurosport so it's not really a problem. Cant be great though having coverage pulled from two of the WRC's most popular countries in Finland and the UK. A bit scary how we are now relying on a channel that has its main focus on the IRC. A perilous position for WRC coverage!

    I also get S4C. So I can watch the coverage in Welsh with English subtitles But I think that's still the same coverage as well.....

    I can get Ralio as well and I have digital. My point was that the WRC has sunk so low that it doesn't justify a place on terrestrial TV in UK. You couldn't imagine the same happening in F1 could you, imagine the outcry!

    Looks like I might have to get out to a few more events next year as that will be the only way I'll be able to watch it lol!

    Men and Motors show coverage still I think. Maybe if they could combine the AXN show and the regular coverage it could be something decent, and then show the ISC feed on the Sunday evening or something as a review of the rally.

    Is that really the reason or has WRC outprized itself from terrestrial TV ?

    Who cares about ITV. Chanel 4 coverage was moronic, "here is a rock Penny, it can damage rally cars" then ITV's coverage is like taking a sleeping tablet. RALIO on S4C is how rallying programmes should be.
