Petit Le Mans interrupted by WRC highlights?

There appears to be an error in the programming. Motors have put a 55 minute highlight package of the WRC rally in France in the middle of the live coverage from Road Atlanta....



Ok, so maybe this isn't a mistake. Let me comment in as rational a way as I can think of:



ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR GOD DAMN MINDS!!!!



Is it too much to ask that two bloody races in a year from the ALMS be given proper treatment? Especially after they promised us two years ago "Every race, live and in full." and never even bothered to explain to us why they boned us on that deal as well - after we renewed our subscriptions (I did, anyway, me living outside the UK where it is supposedly free)?



So being left with just two races live, one would think that they would cherish this rare opportunity to actually have people watching their channel for a change. But they just had to ruin that for us as well, didn't they?



This will be my final year as a subscriber. 10 years anniversary? Congratu*fargin*lations. If they keep boning the last few remaining viewers this way, it will not be another 10 months.



I am done.

Be glad you had so many hours live and just 55 minutes no live broadcast.



MotorsTV has a deal with WRC which means they have to air the WRC highlights package every evening.



Had they skipped WRC highlights and shown the ALMS instead the reaction from WRC followers would have been the same as yours as they don't care about endurance racing and are waiting for their portion of WRC.



And doesn't ending subscription to MotorsTV mean no ALMS LIVE at all for you ?

The loss of ALMS "LIVE" is no real loss. Radio Le Mans commentators yacking over the top of track side interviews, music(?) played when a fan wants to hear engines and tyres. The standard exhibited by the Production team is laughable.

I wanted to watch Petit Le Mans, and recorded it to the box, so I could skip the adverts, and was shocked to see how little of the race I got. Add to that rubbish production, I agree, not worth the subscription.

I "upped" my Virgin Media package to get Motors TV, because, back in 2000 when I had it on Sky at my previous house, it was a French channel, it had innovative programming, it had a wide diversity of subjects covered. The silly show we get now for RC Racing is pathetic. We used to get RC PowerBoats and RC Aircraft. Even the massive show from Paris, with everything to do with RC.

Now it is just repeats, repeats, repeats. Now it is just repeats, repeats, repeats. Now it is just repeats, repeats, repeats. OOOOPPPPS, sorry, have I said that already? No, what I meant to say is, "Now it is just repeats, repeats, repeats". [sleep] [sleep] [sleep]

They got lazy, why is this? Lazy subscribers not prepared to lose the teeny, tiny little bit of ORIGINAL programming, while waiting for the CONSTANT repetitions to pass.

Why did "Rear View Mirror" only get shown the once, and not repeated every day of the week? THAT was worth watching.

Personally I think the "Digital Revolution" is one big con-trick. Still I suppose it is now the worlds largest re-cycler. Suppose that is some achievement? Maybe?

"Now it is just repeats, repeats, repeats". [sleep] [sleep]
