RE HD - I have a Freeview TV in the bedroom. However, currently, Freeview HD only gets BBC, ITV and CH4 HD - 3/4 channels at best. It only takes Ronnie Ring-ding-ding-ding on his clapped out moped drive past to pixelate the FCUK out the picture.......Quote:

Simple audience numbers is going to make sure that BBC are always ahead of Sky.Quote:

Football takes precedence.
But isn't there a rule that the highlights must be a number of hours after the end of the live race?

You would think though that the BBC could find an earlier BBC 2 slot.
Although the race finishes at what about 7:30? So thats only 3 hours. No more than the early morning races being shown at midday.
No the race doesn't start until 7pm, so won't be over until 8.45pm ish.
Yes but for the afternoon races and compromisingly negotiable judging by Bahrain - which had a slightly earlier slot but with shorter highlights.Quote:

Be thankful you have coverage at a (semi) reasonable hour - In Oz qualifying is beng shown at 0200 (thats two in the morning!)
I realise that this is likely a time-zone thing in part, but the broadcaster who shows F1 and MotoGP in Oz is now owned by an overly wealthy bimbo with strong ties to the Murdochs, who own Foxtel (equivalent of Sky in the UK). And she has an agenda...
In fact, since Rhinardt, Murdoch and Packer bought into channel 10, things have gone backward in terms of sport broadcasting in general, and motorsport in particular. Massive conflict of interest by the owners, which is blithely ignored by those who should be regulating these things in my country. There was a new, dedicated sports channel (OneHD) that was introduced with the new digital TV channels (we're a bit slow on the uptake over here - theres got to be an apropriate amount of red tape waded through before anything gets done), that lasted just about one year, before it was re-packaged as a "lads" channel, with re-runs of ****e US sitcoms and Cops. Dissapointing is not adequate...
