Mostly Finnish Yellow press speculation. Only fact that has been told is that current negotations are on hold because of what happened. That does not mean anything yet.Quote:

I will show you better example - look at live coverage from some IRC events... That is the thing which was missing at WRC and people from ISC/NOS were many years talking, that it isnt possible. But few years ago Eurosport showed to everybody, that it is possible. And now, NOS is finally "inventing" live broadcast...Quote:

Eurosport has just his tv shedule to arrange, but NOS needs to create a valid product which could be integrated to lots of televisions. Example: Al Jazeera has 2 hours of time, BBC 1 hour, another one 2 hours, etc...
A unique stage (not of 1 or 2 kms, but like probably will be Rally d'Italia one in RG2 with 13-15 km), maybe anticipated by highlights of the weekend, could be a good example to pack all the action for the new public which even don't know what a rally is. So the 3-days highlights and the latest stage broadcasted LIVE it could be a good give-and-take.

No news about Atkinson in that monster seat is bad. Petter to touring cars? Seems like speculation, or atleast I hope so!
+1
I am afraid that nobody from other international broadcasters will go into it. Because live coverage from the stages is really very expensive and the "result" (people which will watch it on TV) isnt good comparing to this expenses.Quote:

On circuit races you will sit 1-2 hours at TV, you still see the race, you know who is leader, you see crashes and at the end you know who is winner. On rally in one stage you see some cars going through stage, you are watching it about one hour and at the end you know that one of the driver (it will be Loeb :s mokin: ) is fastest and actually leading. Or if the stage will be last stage of the rally, before it results will be done and you will only watch the cars going through (and if superally will be canceled, you will be happy if you will see at least ten interesting cars).
I am too sceptic to properly working live coverage from rallies. It should work from Monte (famous name of event, good time in January when lot of people is at home and not so many other sports on TV), but I dont believe so much in other months...
