Maybe the issue of less coverage from stage ends, liaisons, service park etc is cost-cutting due to the reduced number of subscribers. Fans may either be bored with it, dislike parts of it, moved to other sports or just watching for 'free' as part of a tv package.

The novelty of being all live has worn off for sure and the parts that annoyed now really, really annoy (commentator issues, no pure sound option, picture dropping, poor info/ graphics etc).

WRC+ needs a big refresh to get us all enthused by it again.
