Future Rally Media Coverage

Here is what I want for 2014:

One off payment for the year for a subscription to watch Interviews straight from the Service park, similar to WRCLive but video; previews and highlights even though those can stay free for 2-3-4mins but the proper 24 minute highlights for the subscription as otherwise I source on the internet from people recording on tv... I'm not going to pay for the sports package on my sat tv to watch one sport, once a month on one weekend! SILLY.

Subscription to watch the WRC Live from the Power Stage (If it will exist in 2014) ONLINE on the internet. Live HD streaming.


I'd pay a yearly subscription, with options of paying rally by rally or round by round to watch the WRC Coverage LIVE on the internet! That's the best way I think.

Rally France the other year was LIVE on local tv, someone was playing it through their computer and people were watching on the internet! Even though it was in French, I still watched. It was the fact it WAS on the net, illegally though...

Rally France will air live once again this year :) One of the very few good things about this rally...
Unfortunately this year "pay per view" won't be available anymore, it will only be via subscription to a very expensive package. What a shame.

Next season there will be one hour live TV coverage from every event on Sundays, which means that for example NORF will run also on Sunday instead of Thursday to Saturday like it has been for few years.

Are you sure? From Red Bull Media House I have heard only promises, but nothing happened...

Exactly, one year on and absolutely nothing has changed apart from having an additional commentator in daily reviews and the brief loop reviews uploaded in wrc.com

Next year Rally Sweden ends on saturday, so no live TV coverage?

RBMH is totally crap for now. And what about new website and smartphone/tablet APP? they have done nothing in one year, so we have 2 years lost now. It's a shame.

News is from YLE rallyradio so I do believe it's true.

Well, at least rally organiser is fulfilling its role and giving the event a Sunday leg. Of course the live broadcast is up to promoter. Hopefully it comes to life.

From the very beginning RBMH were saying that the new app will be ready for the 2014 season. And regarding the website, not sure if anybody noticed, but the videos are now playable on iOS devices - they used to be flash only - so, there's some progress here.

Little progress overall. 1 year to make an APP it's a veeery long time.

For me their work after 1 year it's amost invisible, and according to the news coming from Sweden, for example, they are asking for a lot of money before bringing nothing new or showing success. It's so easy for any enterprise to develop new things only when you earn big amounts of money from the organizers, every promotor should be able to do that easily. I undestand better when a promotor invest first to earn benefits later, that's how i understand it should be, and it should be the way that FIA work on it.
