ITV4 have won the rights to screen a highlights show Monday night after each round of MotoGP 2014 doesn't include Moto2 or 3 though http://f1broadcasting.wordpress.com/2014/03/08/itv4-win-rights-to-screen-motogp-highlights/
BLOODY EXCELLENT NEWS. Now at least i can watch a bit of the only sport I follow (ish). Sad about M2&3 though.
No it's not. Some of us switched to BT and had to suffer their hugely shite service initially till they sorted it. :wink:
I am SO pleased about this! I wasn't going to sign up for BT shitwank for £12 a month as a matter of principle and was resigned to not watching MotoGP ever again (or until, hopefully, it doesn't work out for BT and they lose millions on the deal before it goes back to terrestrial or Sky), which was pissing me off because I have gained a lot of pleasure from the series over the years! Highlights are obviously second best, but at least I don't have to eat my kidneys every other week while I wait for MCN's back columns....I actually HATE BT for this - and the bloody owner of MotoGP whoever the bastard is! I was thinking of signing up to BT for a faster broadband pipe but now I've decided not to as a matter of principle.....I'm not bitter....
Your right about bt sport trying to take everything Iam wondering whats going to happen next year as regards world super bikes now that dorna owns them as well I think we all pay far too much to the likes of sky etc as it is, & they couldnt do anything about it bah humbug. Hope someone comes in & poaches for the tv rights to show bike racing of all sorts on sky as well as on mainstream tv.
A guy at work saw it and was disappointed. About 10 mins racing and the rest gassing according to him.
As far as a highlights show it was absolutely fine, getting used to the ad breaks was a little strange. Most importantly BT get cock all out of me!
Thats just what they are highlights I hope they expand the program & show us all alot more flippin bt highjacking it all some one needs to get the hold of that dorna dude give him a good talking to lol.
