Should We Partition Channel Ten About Their Aus Gp Coverage?

[tweety bird]

All this talk of next years aus gp has reminded me how bad tens coverage was this year, so should we tell them what we want to see by way of a partition?

the first things that came to my head was...

banning layne beachley from attending the event and never giving her a mic at a motorsport event ever again (and informing her that a race isn't called a match it's call a race).

less interviews with d list celebritys/ people from masterchef and other reality tv stars and more interviews with race car drivers (former or current) and some information/facts about the cars they drove.

no more people from the breakfast show (seriously Paul Henry is more then Kochie) wait..... infact you should put paul in a two seat f1 car, the amusement would go some way to make up for the torture we suffered this year.

what do you think?

[Tai1or Made]

Sign me up.

im in. i mean they had the least famous hemsworth brother on. not thor or the other f**ker, but some fat shit, that was in a bikey show! wtf? in fact can we all just chip in ten bucks hire a pub and pay Murray walker to commentate/entertain us.

[tweety bird]

two more..

the celebrity races should be conducted under the rules set out by the WANKR motoring occasion.

there should be more close ups of the walk of wimmans, we have a better caliber of wimmans here in aus then our uk masters and we should be doing our best to make them jelly of it.

Just go to Melb for the race, then you don't need to watch 10's coverage. But seriously there is a lot of downtime at the track, hence why they have to pad it out with crap.

more boobs would be nice. can we vote for that?

[Berk]

The only thing I can remember about the Aus GP was how bad the coverage was.

[DJRIFT]

Just go to it I'd say. Support the local event and keep it in aus.

If you think it's better watched on tv there is plenty of screens around showing the same shit you see on tv but with a bit more noise

But I'll signe it for the rest of the poor coverage.

+1

[blind_elk]

It would mean more to them if you had a "petition".

[wolverine]

^^ yep

Petition them to partition the D grade celebs from the coverage or just go down there and watch it live.

Ditto....jump on a plane and come see the race in the flesh and hope to keep the GP here.

Channel 10 are a disgrace and I am sure their coverage will continue to be bad entertainment! Nothing wrong with cross promotion and trying to get people to turn on the box, but bad tv is bad tv....you would think it would be easy to cover the F1 with coverage and info on Aus/Nz greats like Brabham, Hulme, and other notable people like Perkins, Shenkin etc . Show the history the sport and Australian contribution to it....and interview the Australians in the pits working for various teams and show the Aussies behind the scenes!

i can't go to the aus gp because i'm going to abu dhabi in 9 days!

(and i might be going to egypt now too).

[tweety bird]

i'll get a draft going soon (so you guise can check ma spellz).

[wolverine]

Melbourne is next year. Plenty of time to make it after Abu Dhabi.

[tweety bird]

but $$$.

[PHaT MR30]

Pray they don't have the hosts of Ten's Breakfast show on again...

[wolverine]

but $$$.

Melbourne is cheap enough if you stay at Travelodge or the like and use GA tickets the weekend is cheap as chips. Check the prices through the official websites for packages.

[tweety bird]

draft one.

Ban layne beachley from attending the event and never give her a mic at a motorsport event ever again (and someone inform her that a race isn't called a match it's call a race).

less interviews with d list celebritys/ people from masterchef and other reality tv stars and more interviews with race car drivers (former or current) such as Brabham, Hulme, Perkins, Shenkin, webber, Ricciardo and some information/facts about the cars they drove/drive as well as what/who they were up against.

Show the history the sport and Australian contribution to it, interview the Australians in the pits working for various teams and show the Aussies behind the scenes (Sam michael ect).

No more people from the breakfast show (seriously Paul Henry is more annoying then Kochie is) wait..... infact you should put Paul in a two seat f1 car, The amusement would go some way to make up for the torture we suffered in 2012.

The celebrity race prizes should be awarded as per the rules set out by the WANKR motoring occasion regarding prizes.

They're as follows.

First will receive a case of beer.

Second will receive a case of beer.

Third will receive a case of beer.

Forth to last will receive a case of vb........... to encourage them to do better next time.

did i miss anything?

I just typed something scathign up to send. The question is, who do you send it to? Beattie or Baird would be the obvious people, to a lesser extent Rust. Searched channel 10, ONE websites and no fan mail contact details
