Has anything you've mentioned them been changed or improved?

Not that I know of, but S.American fans have complained in nunbers and got commentary in Spanish from 2019.

Everyone needs to give feedback to get them to make changes the fans want.

They don't listen - same stock response to emails if you even get a reply.

Their coverage of the power stage was an absolute joke in Monte.

Pre recorded pointless interviews from the top drivers before they show them blasting off into the stage, then cutting to the last 30seconds of another crews run to the finish and then spend 2-3minutes watching a car trickle down to the stop line, driver taking his helmet off, followed by an interview where Molly probably asks stupid questions.

Then rinse and repeat, back to the start of the stage where they cut to another pointless pre recorded interview.

All that can easily be put in a small screen while we follow a full screen of the action on-going - like focusing on Neuville and Ogier for most of the full stage while there's 0.4s separating them.

Heads need to roll if they can't sort that out. I even had a mate watching it with me who enjoys motorsport but isn't a fanatic or big on the WRC, and even he made a comment like "they don't show much of the action, its just interviews". Reddit has been full of complaints and many people on here have criticised them for stuff like this before, they should be aware of complaints & suggested improvements made by comments from fans on social media/ online forums etc. Most companies do.

The starting intervals were even increased on the power stage to allow more material to be shown. I agree that the pre-recorded interviews and standing starts are really pointless. But it just seems they're trying to market it to the non-hardcore-fan audience, average sporting tv viewers.

You should market to your target audience, not to secondary audience. After all, it's only the fans who tune in to the broadcasts as loyal viewers.

Agree to that. Potential for improvements is a fact.

The Power Stage for-TV coverage isnt the same as the typical WRC+ All Live normal online stage coverage.

or they could just stream all different camera's and let the viewer pick which one he wants to see.
want to see the normal broadcast? watch channel 1. want to see the camera and the interviews at the finish? watch channel 2. want to see the pre recorded interviews? select which one you want to see on channel 3. want to see ogier onboard? watch channel 4. neuville onboard? watch 5. want to see stationary camera's? 6. and so on.

it costs them nothing more, and it would make the experience hugely better.

I will stop my subscription at the end of my current month, but if they do the above and if of course the service becomes reliable enough, I will subscribe again.

No offense, but your post with the last sentence is one of the most stupid things posted here recently.

1. One transmission feed
2. Another transmission feed which would be nearly identical to the first transmission feed. Technically it would be the base feed. That's already two different transmission outputs and you'll need two different mixers for it.
3. Not a feed, but a video gallery as you proposed.
4&5. There are three different cameras on board. Unless the feed is only single camera, then it would require one mixer per feed. Also the onboard signal is not constant. Imagine the moaning here.
6. Yet another mixer.
...
All of it would cost a nice number and increase the logistical head ache significantly.

Like it's been explained many times now, it would not possible to chose from onboards because they only have signal over 10km meaning it's probably only two cars within that area.
It was pretty stable all last year apart from MC, just because they had one hickup with the new software now it's still really good, and we only missed two stages.
