http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...t-axe-motor-racing-save-digital-channels.html so back to itv then,maybe?
They should cut Match of the Day. It's **** and ITV could provide just as good coverage and Sky's is a lot better. Also, who were the sad gits complaining that Montreal ran into Antiques Roadshow? Bloody hell!
even worse - they pay £3m per race. I hope that's the fee divided by existing number of races? If Bernie gets his way he'll add another 4 I expect. £3m per race is daylight robbery. Anyway close BBC4 - who watches more than I programme a month?
If it goes onto ****ing Sky then I am going to strike.....while secretly watching it illegally online. That will show Murdoch.
perhaps you haven't noticed - but the CIA (yes THAT CIA ) keep tracing and closing down these streams. Boo........
God, i did not even know Indy was on till browsing this thread and you saying your watching the 225 lap race, Ive just flicked on to sky sports and there it is. What was Hunter Rey's crash like. I just heard him saying he went in to the wall.
over some years I found ATDHE.NET was the best for Gunners matches. But it is often offline. Are you using peer-to-peer? That will survive?
I usually use either http://www.p2pfree.net/, http://magictv.co/, or http://stjamesstream.blogspot.com/
I'll be in jail for all my illeagal streaming before i watch F1 on sky and i won't be happy about ITV either. Just lower the price bernie you greedy bastard.
It's funny, the British almost hold every record know to man in F1, we have created the best designers, some of the best drivers in history, some of the best teams known to man and hold the record for most WDC's in 1 country. Yet! I have to listen about bollox from a world cup victory in 1966 every 4 years that was won by fluke over and over until in the end I just want to slice my eyes out. I get bored of listening to that old **** called Bobby Charlton, hyping up overpaid ****ers from England who cant play for **** that will flop at every world cup they enter and being beaten by a bunch of championship players. And Instead of them training ten times harder the next time round for the next world cup, they get smashed every weekend at some ****ty bar in Essex, having sex with a 60 year old prostitute like they do, and if the night is good, crash his car into a family of 4 while doing over 120mph on the motorway in his crappy Land Rover. Face it: WE SUCK AT FOOTBALL, BUT DOMINATE F1!!!!!!!!!!!!! This whole country is backwards, Britain has always been a force in F1 through it's history, time and time again, I don't understand why it's always overlooked and people saying "Watching cars go round in circles is BORING!" IMO, Watching Andy Murray and Nadal hitting a ball back and forth for 5 hours is a fate worse than death, **** Wimbledon on BBC1 thats been in deadwater for decades and we are crap at that as well, millions chucked at making all this overrated arseholes that will get beat by some wildcard ranked 3,425th... The same thing applies watching every football match on that pointless show "Match of the Day 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10..." Which I can't seem to stop seeing when I turn the TV on: pass, pass, pass, dive, pass, pass, foul, complain to the ref, pass, pass, cross, dive, foul, penalty, more complaing at the ref, slapping each other, diving and crying like a bitch, goal, hooray!, punch up on the pitch, little ****s look at their Dad acting like a **** calling the other fans a bunch of ****ers....etc.....etc the process is repeated. Fact is F1 will always! have more class than Tennis, Cricket, Golf and most noticeable Football, they put their lives on the line to put on a good show for us, while Wayne Rooney's biggest problem is his bald patch. BBC should start kicking other sports down a peg because I'm getting sick of the other sports getting better treatment. If BBC don't renew the contract I'll have lost the faith with BBC, it will become obvious that they don't give a **** for the millions who really enjoy F1, but will have to suffer with ****e about other sports. I don't want to line Ruperts pockets, but if the BBC don't give a damn what I want, I sure as hell won't give a damn what they show me in the future. RANT OVER!
http://www.footballstreaming.info/streams/todays-links/ SilverArrow - I have a lot of sympathy with your distaste for these young millionaires who cannot hit a barn door, and behave as if no morals or laws apply to them. Most do not even come close to the skills shown for hours on end by golfers and tennis players for example. Rupert Turdoch paying the FA (what appropriate initials) zillions has allowed clubs to heap millions on these players who are a load of crap.
Tom Cary in The Telegraph quotes Martin Whitmarsh as saying, "Formula 1 insiders have been surprised by the recent newspaper reports, since the contain significant statistical inaccuracies." The average audience for a race is allegedly 4.8m, with a peak audience of 8.3m watching twenty-four cars parked in a row in the rain for two hours a week ago. Reassuringly, Whitmarsh repeats that it is still "crucial to the commercial model of Formula 1 that TV coverage should remain free-to-air." Does that mean he (and other F1 teams) might lobby FOM to reduce the cost for free-to-air broadcasters, especially those that are publicly funded? As Bergkamp pointed out above and I said in the other thread, the current costs of F1 are too rich for a publicly funded broadcaster, whatever the going rate is among commercial companies. A fifth of the £40m per year the BBC pays to FOM would be more reasonable, IMO. It does sound as though Sky would have to offer FOM the equivalent of all the income F1 generates from sponsorship (and hypothetically might generate annually over the next twenty or thirty years because once those ties are cut they'd be very difficult to recover) plus its current TV income just for the teams to consider that they're breaking even. As Ecclestone said, silly money. The BBC has commented, too: “No decisions have been taken and therefore these claims remain speculation.”
3 million a race? thats robbery. As good as it is there are just some things that arent economically viable. FOM are such a greedy bunch
£3M per race but how much do the BBC make in income per race weekend? Do the BBC sell thier broadcast and commentry to other countries? Im sure it makes business sence to show the coverage
