Probably F1 or some other cr4p.
Wonder wether Eurosport will get it as they broadcast WTCC??? cant beleive it though i got sky purposely to watch the whole Championship live I'm gutted...
Another bit of bad news about 2007.....
Hopefully ITV4 will pick it up or something.
that is bad news, can see the sky subscription getting cancelled when my year is up
I hope ITV do live coverage of it either on ITV2/3/4 or on Men and Motors because I believe they own that.
I would prefer it on freeview though as I don't have sky but I am planning to get a freeview HDD so I could record it all on there.
Alan gow says he is not worried at all by this, so he obviously has other deals on the table.
The exclusive to show all the races from the weekends live will definately get channels queing up!
Before people start slinging mud as they have been doing on the BTCC.Net site, I suggest you read what Alan Gow has posted!
Allow me to put some totally unfounded speculation to rest;
1. The decision not to continue for 2007 was entirely that of MotorsTV. We would have been very happy to continue our relationship with them, on exactly the same basis that has existed from some years.
2. We would not, and did not, charge MotorsTV any form of rights fee (or similar) to show the events...it was entirely free of charge to them, in that respect. As is normal, MotorsTV's financial outlay was for the extra production costs and satellite up-link needed to produce their own program.
3. ITV and ourselves were both fully supportive for the MotorsTV programming to continue, on exactly the same basis as previously.
There was/is absolutely no problem in the relationship between MotorsTV and/or ourselves and/or ITV....they merely decided that they wished to take their programming schedules in a different direction, and we have to respect their decision.
But for some people to speculate that either TOCA and/or ITV had, in some way, made it more difficult and/or more expensive for MotorsTV to continue is most unfair and totally incorrect.
this is a very sad news, I like BTCC and it will be painfull for me not seeing it next year on Motors !!
until the whole itv network switches to digital (because all the analogue transmitters are switched off which is still some years away) there will still be a lot of people who will only be able (or willing) to watch the 5 basic terrestrial channels. moving the whole btcc show to itv 2,3 or4 in the near future therefore seems highly unlikely to me.Quote:

Someone mentioned on e of the digital ITV channels. Hopefully they might show the first 2 live on ITV4 or something then do the usual on ITV1. Please?
