This year's BTCC coverage?

[Lunaboy]

Hi, first a cool 2008 for everyone from Belgium!

Who's doing the live coverage this year and what can we expect to see because i didn't see anything last year since Motors Tv didn't show anything...

Was the coverage on Itv like the one on Motors Tv?

I have Itv on my dish now so hope to see some action.
I miss the coverage on Motors Tv so much with all support races, i just would give anything to have my sunday's with a lot of live racing back...

Btcc is the best Touring Car Championship in the world!

Live coverage was on Setanta Sports in the UK last year - BTCC + supports.

ITV showed the last race live plus highlights of the first two. They were also showing the full races on ITV4. there was the occasional support race but not much else.

This year is still to be confirmed

I hope the boys at TOCA are listening???

GO BACK TO LIVE COVERAGE ON MOTORS TV PLEASE!!!!!!

I aint paying to watch it on Sentatnatnannatannenanta what ever the bloody channel is called.

Motors did a great job for years and should be rewarded with another season. Meanwhile the fans are over the moon to watch it and more people will watch. I really missed the Clio's, Toledo's and F BMW in 07.

Unfortunately I think it was more a case of Motors not wanting to show it anymore rather than TOCA taking it away.

Before everyone starts whinging about what we had, what we missed, what we will get, and any other picky complaints... lets wait for TOCA to tell you what they have planned for this year!

I'm sure they will tell us soon what tv coverage we will get!

Let's face it. They have already decided what they are going to do. No one here is going to get them to change their mind... Accept it!

Hope ITV improve their coverage this year. It was awful in 2007.

Right, my mistake, it was Setanta...

So if i understand right Setanta is a pay-channel?
And Itv4, is this a free to air channel?

Correct.

Don't we hear this every year?

Actually, Setanta costs less than Motors.

Setanta: Freeview, Satellite (excluding dish/box c£150), Virgin Media: £10/month
Motors TV: Not on freeview; On Sky, min £16/month (only 1 'mix'); Supposedly on Virgin Media in some areas in the XL package - £9/month dearer.

So basically it's cheaper and more people can get it.

PS. It seems Motors was so good it tricked you into watching a fictional series!

When are ITV going to announce the schedule? Does anyone know?

[VXR-4-Eva]

The ITV Coverage was CRRRRAAAAPPP this year - remember for the first half of 2007 the btcc was only shown on ITV4 and on ITV1 at about midnight for half an hour.

It was the same story with WRC...

maybe ITV has something against all motorsports apart from F1 & BSB...
