That's the way to do it Channel 7 !
Except for the time slot, the Saturday night telecast of the 1st PI race was brilliant.
No faffing about we start off with qualifying highlights and then straight into the race. No fluff, all business - Good stuff.
Sunday however, we have according to the TV Guides a 5 hour telecast to show a 2 hour race. So even if they show the full 20 minute qualifying session that leaves another 2 1/2 hours of nothing.
I haven't watched a single telecast live yet this year because of all the time filling nonsense live viewers are forced to endure. My set top box allows me to timeshift so I start watching whenever I want to watch and skip through the adds and most importantly the fluff.
Seriously Channel 7 - trim the fat from these morbidly obese overlong telecasts.
