No BTCC on Motors TV in 2007

[Lunaboy]

Found a solution to receive ITV on my excisting satellite, it's this:

Technisat Multytenne



With this antenna you can receive channels from four different satellite's, Astra 1, 2,3 and Hotbird.

Now let's hope that they bring live coverage from all races...

Sadly some people make it up as they go along, which then gets picked up by the unsuspecting and passed around as factual information...

...the BTCC remains on ITV1 for 2007.

That link doesn't tell you anything more than looking at the championship calendar would though

At the moment, but nearer each event the broadcast time will be given on that page. As it stands it's confirming ITV1 same-day coverage...

From the link I posted

'Welcome to the TV Timetable section of btcc.net.

It’s here you can find out when the BTCC will be shown on ITV1 – Britain’s most popular commercial terrestrial television channel.

Click on the race meeting on the left to plan your viewing in advance. Then sit back, tune in and enjoy as the BTCC field does battle on the track in front of millions of TV viewers!'

And its not and old page, as the 2007 calendar is right next to it

To be honest.... My opinion of ITV's commitment to motorsport is very low. As an ex-F1 fan, I have railed for years about too many ad-breaks during ITV's coverage of F1 races amongst other things. Losing Motors TV coverage is going to be a step backwards in terms of depth of coverage, Forget anything except the bare essentials, couple with a lot of self ego stroking.


I noticed further back in this thread some comments about real motorsport fans attending events.... fine as a theory if you work monday to friday.... many dont... something that should be remembered maybe?
