2008 TV coverage - Live on ITV4
Is it just me or are toca leaving the announcement of a tv deal for the coming season extremely late? If I recall correctly in previous years the tv deal would be announced much earlier in order that teams/drivers would be able to use this information in regards to gaining sponsors etc. I may be being pessimistic here but does this indicate that Alan Gow is struggling to put a decent tv deal in place? but I would hate to see btcc being stuck on a 'minority' channel such as Dave (the new home of the wrc) rather than a prime spot on ITV.

It will surely be announced on media day, no real rush to announce any details is there? As long as I get to watch it, I wouldn't mind if it was on a digital channel - obviously it would be better on ITV1 but the expanded coverage ITV3/4 did was excellent!
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

I maybe wrong but I thought the deal announced last year was a three year one?

Can I just add something here at this point of the discussion?
DAVE is allegedly owned by the BBC! Or is certainly part of it!
So the prospect of ITV AND BBC showing the BTCC is, by my reckoning... is at best, very slim!

Dave is run by uktv. (it used to be ukg2)
uktv is owned 50% by Virgin Media and 50% by BBC Worldwide (the BBC's commerical concern)
