TV Coverage in the Uk

[DonnieDarco]

Hi Everyone,

I'd just like to say that we worked real hard at Sunset and Vine to produce a decent attempt at our first ever 'complete race' Nascar coverage. I must point out that we did it on very short notice too.
I do hope that most of you enjoyed it.

The race coverage was very good. The studio bit needs more work

Ok, I should edit this a little, I s'pose I do appreciate that American TV has a lot more commercials than we do, as someone else pointed out, so there are times when we have to do something else.

I know it was done at very short notice, too.

Bottom line is, I'll put up with the studio bit (grudgingly) if Five can show full race coverage every time

Have to disagree with ya Donnie.
I thought Ch5 got it just about right with good feedback from Jonny Mowlam who provided a good insight into the track conditions and tactical niceties of the race.

But hey who cares! WHAT a race!
Im gutted for Martin though.
Maybe if he'd been pedalling his old Viagra car he'd of put up stiffer resistance.

As a NASCAR fan, I thank you. At this point, any coverage is much appreciated. It's probably a good idea to have NASCAR 101 for new viewers. I have to be honest, though. I taped it and fast-forwarded through the UK commentary.

And, hands up, I was one of those dopes that chopped the end off with 2 laps to go. I'll learn one of these days. Jr. was out at that point anyway.........

not checked round yet, so let me be lazy and ask who is showing California?



edit: Think I have found the answer ---- Five again - one hour highlight show on Tuesday..... bugger............ I am so poxy miserable now.
What is the problem with NASN? Why are they having so much trouble with this? Can only think it's the new bosses.

That is exactly it - NASN are waiting to be sold to ESPN and hence it is difficult to enter into new contracts. We will just have to wait for OFCOM to give the okay and the deal to complete.

perhaps you should complaint to ofcom about ofcom? i bet they'd like that!

Funny you should say that I am going to complain to them about their 'Junk Fod bans' on advertising, as I believe it is going to be so unbalanced. That will be interesting to see how they go about answering that.
