Just watched the preview show on portuguese SportTV and I must say it was very good indeed. Historical images, good insight from the testing period... let's hope this continues like this for the rest of the season.

Watched the first show on Servus TV website. Let me say: WOW!
> TV production: high production and post-production quality, all in HD. We really couldn't hope better than this.
> New graphics: Remember the 2011/2012 Opening Titles (30" long, now shortened to 10", like Major sports events), on-screen graphics (calendar, drivers during on-board footage, etc.) and Instant Replay Transitions (the WRC logo that "introduce" you to the IR)? Now, finally, we have a very strong brand identity! Finally something exciting and - at the same time - fresh! That's simply great on the marketing point of view! Now, they've to give the same "theme" to website, official game, merchandising, etc.
> Contents: good features during factory-teams' tests, great historic shots for the Monte Carlo and a "breathtaking-edited" review of 2012 season.
Good stuff from Red Bull till now. If they continue this way, we'll have in 2014 a TV-production not very far from Formula 1 contents! Stay tuned, I'm finally happy and hopeful! Thanks Austrians! :)
Indeed it looks quite different (and lot better) from recent reviews (I've watched on Motors TV). These were just overview of last year's Rally.Quote:

BTW who is the commentator?

Coverage in the Netherlands will be horrible as usual. The only rally program we have here is RTL Rally Report, which only has shows during the Dutch rally calendar. It usually starts around mid-March, in the weekend of the first Dutch rally. There are often some shows completely decidicted to WRC, but by far not all rounds.
RTL7 profiles itself as the TV channel 'for real men.' They cover(ed) F1, DTM and sometimes IndyCar, Darts, etc. Dakar coverage is huuuge with every day a 1 hour show. But that's because there are a lot of Dutch participants I guess... Time to cover WRC now...
We're all starting to understand why Eurosport insiders said a while ago that Red Bull bid "was simply better"...Quote:
