ITV - Oz Qualifying not live??????
Posted by Ellis
Do you really think that if F1 went back to the BBC that they would televise like it they used to? I doubt it, somehow! Given the in-depth coverage that ITV have shown since '97, the BBC would have to do something seriously good to take that from ITV and expect to keep a lot of viewers.
Having said that, I do think the BBC would be up to it. I reckon if F1 went back to the BBC tomorrow, it'd be just as good as ITV - but better, without the ad breaks and full coverage of the press conferences, etc. And with BBC having two terrestrial channels, it means that the F1 won't immediately cut to a soap as soon as the flag falls.
I never really liked the ad breaks....I always flick over to RTL during the breaks, but it still disrupts the flow of the race, you know?

well to be honest no i don't
name me one sport that the BBC have showcased?
how many?
none, thats how many
you say that the bbc would do a better job if they took the rights off ITV, but whats to say going by that way of thinking that ch4 or ch5 could'nt do a better job than ITV after seeing what they've done with the format?
personally i think that sky would be the only people to do a better job
look at how they have made football a massive success since they took it off the BBC
you say if F1 went back to the BBC then it would be different, well part of the fact that F1 went to ITV was that itv made a presentation to bernie ecclestone and showed them what they were going to do with F1 and that clinched it, not the money offered on the table
the BBc had a bottomless pit with the license fee to secure the rights to F1 but because they sat on there laurels it went to a better company because of it.
BBC has lost all the major sporting events because it thought that because it was a national institiution that it had the god given right to show the top sports
its the same thing with F1
just because ITV have taken the sport even further with their coverage what makes you think that BBc will make it better?
look at the junior catagorys that itv show, f3000, formula ford races etc
we never saw that on BBC did we?
oh we may have once, if i remember correctly satan skated to work that morning and the moon was blue that night
i also remember BBC1 qualifying, it used to get the grid results about 10 mins after the qualifying had finished on a saturday with a crappy graphic of the grid, the only time we got live qualifying was when the BBC hosted the british gp
what short memorys you people have

Well you guy are complaining about your TV coverage about not seeing things live. Here in Australia the rights have been with channel 9 since F1 started on air. Since the early nineties they really haven't cared about their viewers. Around 14 of the races last year were delayed by at least an hour, we only got one qualifying session which was melbourne and no practice wrap ups. All of the non asia-pacific races if shown were on after the Sunday movie and news so anywhere between 10.30pm and 3am. Often the American and western european races were shown the following night at around the same time, and you usually find out who won on the radio or in the newspaper before any TV footage. And we have around 7-10 minutes adevertising per hour and at those hours of the night only the worst ads are shown, like 1900 phone lines etc. And almost worst of all the hosts are Darrell Eastlake and, an ex-F1 driver who is usually short of worthy words, Alan Jones.
Though on the other hand we have another free to air station ch10 which shows every other category of motorsport live or very slightly delayed and will even fill the entire Sunday (10.30-5) up with V8's, Cart, MotoGP, WSBK, WRC, and all the main Aussie categories.
But every thing is changing for the better. In mid November Ten aquired the F1 rights and now we're hoping for better coverage and now we get ex-motorcycle world champ Barry Sheene feverently commenting on all the main points before and after the race ("That was a major sausage.", "That's Falcon Unbelievable"
.
Still it is harder to be a F1 and world motorsport fan in Australia than that of most other sport due to needing compassionate Lecturers and Bosses allowing you leeway for being that bit late and slow on Monday mornings.
We love it all the same.

If the GP goes live at 1pm UK time then it's 11.30pm in Adelaide. Though it makes the whole thing more important. So you get your friends to stay over for the really late ones like 2am etc. You have GP3 games leading up to it to stay awake! Then you know the track exactly and pick Brundle and Co apart if they get the wrong corner or driver.

look at how they have made football a massive success since they took it off the BBC
erm? like it wasnt a success before? lol ITV have done nothing for football....
well frankly no, sky have transformed the game with their coverage and money that they have put back into the sport
the english game has benefitted massively from that money, its enabled countless clubs to invest money into youth academys which nuture home grown talent, which will inevitably benefit the national side.
the english way of football has also benefitted with the foreign imports who bring with them certain styles of play, people like zola, theirry henry, robert pires, veira etc have all influenced the younger players.
put it this way, if ecclestone had a choice out of bbc itv & sky and money was'nt an issue, and it was all down to actual presentation and content i think that sky would undoubtably get it, and that the bbc would be bottom of the list, they had there chance for years and did nothing with it
