It would be cheaper to buy a satellite dish and "borrow" the coverage

IMG may buy the rights they have a big budjet for this sort of item and there was a report last week on them bidding for the AFL rights. If they get them they sell it show buy show to whoever is interested. You could get 7 10 and nine all showing a race but I doubt it, bathurst is the big ticket and thats why they will be interested.

There is also a multi channel deal for free to air doing the rounds of Canberra atm with Ch 7 as the major force - this could negate the Foxtel sports deal?.

If the chips fall into place your new home of motorsport will be Foxsports 3 from Friday through Monday maybe on the Fashion Channel (poor mans porn channel) with v8 supercars, WRC, Nascar, Moto GP, WSB. A1 GP, Speedweek,IHRA,Champcar etc etc.

The only thing to worry about is who gets the rights to show v8 supercars *LIVE*
