Motors TV wanted a massive amount of on-board footage, but if a tv station wants just the Eurosport-style highlights, they can be requested without problems!Quote:

Is RAI showing other stuff than Motors TV or just he same material ?Quote:

RAI picks the 55-minutes coverage that North One produces for all (so the "standard coverage", like Eurosport had in the past), Motors TV has a customized coverage.Quote:

That is the same with the ONE HD broadcast, they use the North One production showcasing Day 1,2,3 and 1 hour wrap up show.Quote:

Any link to follow Motorstv on web?
I've got some forum links with this years tv links in it, not sure if I;m allowed to post it. Drop me a PM if anyone wants it
Are there any other channels in any country that sends WRC, and has its own touch from the North-One material ?
Finland maybe ?
I'm not sure Motors "wanted" the on-board show, but they wanted WRC, and that is what was available.Quote:

Bad for WRC..
To be fair to the Motors TV coverage, the commentary does not have to be read off of a script, like the majority of other coverage of WRC. That is something I have noticed in recent years; the lack of actual comment or opinion of note on anything being done in the WRC, more than likely for fear of offending anyone involved. The coverage seems very lifeless, dead and lacking personality...balls even. Motors TV have provided coverage where in my opinion the commentator has been providing great information that is of interest to the hardcore fan, yet not isolating the newbie. Also there hasnt been any sign of this inoffensive, dull commentary normally compulsary with North One feeds. All in all, I'm very happy with the Motors TV coverage
Yes, MTV3 channel has rather tailored WRC programs. Nearly all of them are broadcasted on the pay channel MTV3 MAX. Some small clips are shown on the normal MTV3 channel. The shows are a rather nice mix of footage and MTV3 has some of it's own stuff incorporated to them, like for example longer, a bit more in-depth interviews, expert analysis and usually Finnish (co)drivers presenting the overall stage description etc.Quote:

I really loved it.
Nowdays they only run for 30 minutes and the Incar Special has been dropped. Shame. It's a bit more North One-like but still possible to watch.
Very true, luckily in Finland MTV3 utilizes many professionals (interviews, working as commentators, so on) like Tomi Tuominen, Timo Rautiainen, Bosse, Garde and Paasonen to bring comments and opinions to the shows so here it's not a problem. But for example wrc.com videos are really polite and totally objective. Not even the slightest biased opinions/comments are said.Quote:

Dave contact comes to an end this year - they are in discussion apparently with Dave as well as other free-to-air channels.Quote:

We will see - perhaps Quest will take it next year :rolleyes:
Don't joke, this is an important deal; what about QVC, buy a S1.6T...Quote:

Well NorthOne Sport has a remit to look at free to air options as part of the FIA contact, so it just the case of see who wants it compared to price etc.Quote:

ITV possibly not an option as they wanted to put ITV2-4 on Sky paid per view, so that leaves?
Totally agreeQuote:

So just as much as finding somewhere to put the coverage, they need to provide some pictures that are worth a crap for a reasonable price.
Bad move to remove it from Eurosport..
It ought to be more attractive in 2011, what with the new regulations. We can but hope. Though does anyone even care about this important change?Quote:

Motorsport News in UK is reporting that DAVE TV will not be showing WRC in 2011. I have criticised this in previous years, but in fact the 2010 offering has been quite acceptable. Far more so than the absolute cr@p that is Motors TV!!!!
Interestingly North One Sport are quoted in MN saying that they would like to get WRC back onto a free to air channel and feel that in iots current state WRC wont be interesting enough to a broadcaster especially in the F1 dominated media.
Its a great shame that BBC2 Wales report programme was broadcast so late on monday 15th November, an 11.20 pm start isnt ideal.
I may be very naiieve and nostaligic for quality reporting and coverage that we had when BBC Sport had WRC, but I am just wondering if as many of ys on here download the BBC2 Wales programme from the I player it may persuade the suits at BBC & NOS to get WRC back on BBC Sport, afterall Jake Humphrey really enjoyed his time rallying in North Wales on the Cambrian rally.

BBC wont let me watch the show on the iplayer in the good ol Emerald Isle. Is there any alternative means of viewing it?Quote:
