In fact, it is very expensive. If I remember correctly, to broadcast four hours of live stages (two special stages repeated) on the Sata Azores Rally, would cost around 500,000€Quote:

They manged to send the norwegian rally championship live in the 70's. It's only about money and politics. Same reason Petter can't get a decent car. Even Sordo was left in the cold, despite beeing from a big car market. Citroen want a french winner. Nobody else has a chance.
Cross country skiers don't carry on-board cameras and the necessary links! The helicopters and planes for the links aren't free. Also, for winter events you would need a secondary system to get the signal from the cars in case the weather is too bad for the planes / helicopters to fly!Quote:
