I will not make a single complain about ch7. I might make some coments but I will not complain. Would anyone here like to make a bet? The reason why I complain so much about ch10 is becasue they are meant to be our "home of Motor Sport" but they treat this sport and its fans like CRAP.

Anyone want to make a $50 bet???

Mabs - I would be amazed if you don't complain about Ch7 next year. You whinge more about things than any person I have ever seen!!

Your hate for 10 is strong and as we all know they have their faults but I still find it very annoying that you cant even acknowledge that they saved v8s in this country and put motorsport on the map.

Can't wait for your response that whinges about everything and compliments nothing.

I'm not sure that these are confirmed are they? No one I know has heard anything. In fact we're sitting around waiting to hear what is happening with these.
Could these be a dark horse to go to 7 or 9?

When did Channel 10 confirm they would show the rest of the series?

It wasn't listed in there 2007 programs list. Ch7 have got Indy next year wich means they would have had to buy the rights to the whole series but they may decide not to show it.

Yes it has been confirmed

Formula One (for the first time in HD), MotoGP, the World and Australian Rally Championships, and RPM will return to ch10 in 2007.

It is apparent you know more than everyone in the rallying community (including ARC teams!). Just last week even MNews ran a story over the fact that ARC and WRC hadn't been confirmed anywhere.

It was confirmed by ch10 when they lost the V8's that they will continue with F1, Moto GP and Rally. It wasn't confirmed exactly as WRC and ARC but yesterday ch10 launched there 2007 schedule and it included "Formula One (for the first time in HD), MotoGP, the World and Australian Rally Championships, and RPM".

It has been confirmed.

So you are quite willing to complain about almost every aspect on the Ch10 broadcast but make a guarantee not to complain about Ch7 without even seeing their coverage or schedule. Nice to see the customary unbiased approach.

Channel Ten are incompetent, lazy, selfish, greedy and unprofessional liars. I don't trust them. They are akways screwing up. I like Channel Seven. If you include the extra costs I think they will pay $180-190 million for the rights+heavy promotion+posible live Qualifying and races+25 30 minuet V8 shows+4 1 hour V8 shows+V8's on 43/52 weeks. Now that commitment. Something Channel Ten need to learn about. Why would I worry about their coverage. I may have the odd complaint but I don't think I will need to.

I'm looking forward to next year. It will take a while getting adjusted to switching the TV to Ch7 as I generally keep a wide berth from that channel aside from Scrubs, but with AFL next year and the V8 Supercars it will get a reasonable showing.

@Mabs. I'll be interested to see where the Utes end up for next year. As they will be on the V8 Support card the TV production for their rounds will be done by V8SA, so will they be on Ch7 or Ch9 as you have speculated. I really hope Ch7 get behind the support series and give them all the coverage they deserve.

Actually I now think the V8 Utes will end up on ch7. I think they will want as much holden V Ford racing as posible. V8's+V8DC+V8 Utes+Aussie Racing Cars would = 4 different Holden V Ford series + as you say the V8 Utes will be on the V8 Support card the TV production for their rounds will be done by V8SA.

So we could have up to or more than 6 different series (1 international and 2 mayor series) racing on ch7 next year. Thats good considering they havn't had anything for a long time. Maybe they will get A1, Indy and Le Mans too.

mabs_nsx · 18 Nov 2006, 15:39 (Ref:1769152)

Channel Nine will finally start showing the A1GP Series. Round 3 from Beijing will be shown at 12:20am early on Mondy morning. They didn't show the first 2 rounds and it is being shown late at night even after being 1 week delayed wich is pointless but do you see me complaining? No. It's crap but I'm not complaining becasue they do not call themselves our "home of Motor Sport". I will not be making 100000 complaints about ch7 next year.

Great news!

racer69 · 18 Nov 2006, 18:48 (Ref:1769206)

Who negotiates (or in this case i'd say purchases) the TV rights, A1GP themselves or is it the Australian licence holders responsibility??

Bold=confirmed

I don't think ch10 will be showing F1 until 2010. They will probably sell the rights in 2008 in a year were they will probably have no Motor Sport. RPM has been confirmed for 2007. That last episode was the worst I have ever seen. No Tasmania V8 Review, no Bahrain V8 preview, no update on Rally NZ, an old story on Bonaville. (Unoficial speed record for an F1 car) I'm not even sure when it ends this year. The last epesoide was only 1 hour long and it usually ends later but it isn't on next week. Maybe it has been given the chop even after being confirmed for 2007. Is it posible that it could go to another channel? Maybe ch7?

Champcars isn't listed on ch7's 2007 line up. But neither is Indy wich has been confirmed.

Chatters · 20 Nov 2006, 11:17 (Ref:1770502)

For that above list, if bold=confirmed why is there a question mark next to Australian Superbikes?

Yeah the last episode was the worst yet. Its almost as if they forgot it was on until Sunday morning and had to whip something together.

Interesting article I found. I know it's off topic but thought it was still relevant to this thread.........."I don't know about you, but I frequently find myself indulging in my favorite pastime, complaining. Well, it's not exactly my favorite one, because it makes me more miserable than I was before, but it's certainly one that I engage in often enough. Of course, I don't always see what I'm doing as complaining - in fact, I often think I'm simply telling the truth about the world. But when I really look carefully, I am forced to acknowledge that my woebegone statements are actually complaints.

What constitutes complaining? One dictionary defines it as "An expression of pain, dissatisfaction, or resentment." I would add that it's a statement of dislike, blame, or judgment that we whine about repeatedly. Why say it once when we can indulge in our misery?"

terryobeirne · 23 Nov 2006, 12:10 (Ref:1773115)

did anyone record the old races aired on ABC2 recently. I'm chasing the 1988 Sandown 500. anyone help???
