It is very impressive the speed they are turning our Lessons Identified into their Lessons Learned from our inputs into their Forum !

This is a sign that they are willing to learn and improve, and that is rare in the TV world today !
Important to give cred where needed, and not only criticize !
If Motors TV can help North One Sport improve, by giving in their wishes and requirements this can get very good !
Nice to see some people enjoyed it. I'm glad some did, but they obviously like their rally coverage to be around 25% exterior footage.
Someone said they moved away from the 'safe' format of previous years. Are you kidding me. So now is showing exterior action shots of cars and sponsors safe? To me all they have done is extend the awful parts of previous years coverage.
Obviously some people like to view their 3 days of rally action from the perspective of someone inside a mail box in the back of a rally car. It's nice those five people have a show they can be proud of.
Get a life. It was still better than the ISC **** that's been dished up over recent years.Quote:

What does any sponsor get out of that? Their brands are receiving 60% less coverage.
An hour long show each leg should be a chance to expand on coverage rather than strip it down and pad it out with dregs. I see it as a massive wasted opportunity - but hopefully they can improve. Hopefully North One can/will throw them a bone and help.
And as for getting a life. I can think of thirty-two and a half thousand reasons why you're in no position. I respect your opinion, so let's leave it at that.
Thank god for the MotorsTV switch, I'm already liking the new commentator and his ability to stay silent for several minutes to just enjoy the onboards. :) There were a couple nice exterior shots too, I hope there will be more exterior footage but as it is now I like it tons more than the awful, monotonous and completely boring Eurosport coverage before.
Keep it up MotorsTV, I see the WRC coverage going back to it's glory days. Sad to see this year is the last year of the big turbo cars. I thought there would be more s2000 coverage since these cars will take over in 2011 but I have seen none yet, hopefully in the future.
That's actually something I hadn't thought of, but yes there was a lot less exterior shots including sponsors banners in the background. Could be interesting if it has an affect on sponsorship revenue in the long term.Quote:

Hope they do so.
Will wait until Mexico!
Just watched the motors coverage earlier this evening and sorry to say but I was bored watching it so switched off, too much incar with crap cameras that are either underexposed or Latvalas was shaking. And on day two they said "and now it will be really good cos it's getting dark... now lets look at Kimi here ...actually it's stage 10 from earlier in the day" :s
Watched Dave coverage to compare and think it's much better. However again this year I don't think I'll make a particular effort to watch any of it.
Anyone know when the sWRC programme will be on Dave or Motors?
I thought Dave would have a WRC programme 6pm every Sunday like before, but not today...
