Channel 10 gets f1

[skyline33]

In case you guys didn't catch it channel 10 have won the right for f1 broadcasting from 2003. foxtel are still negotiating a deal apparently.

[Shell]

oh good stuff! channel 9 sucked

i wonder how they'll juggle the motorbikes & the F1 on sunday nights though....

[skyline33]

apparently there wont be a sports tonight (yesterday) on sunday nights and the european races will be broadcast at 10:30 (30 minute delay), so i heard.

[Silver-Arrowz]

If fox get F1 live, I'm signing up just for that!

The hardest ones to juggle are malaysia (spelling) and japan cause they're usually on between 3 to 6.

[skyline33]

yeah i remember when schumacher won the championship in 2000 (malaysia 4:00 or something) channel 9 showed the race at 12 o'clock or something it was ridiculous

[U WERE MINE]

**** channel 10 sux.. im gonna miss dazza and jonesy..

i bet ****en channel 10 will stick sheene or beattie or some other redneck there.. dammm

URMINE,

I hope you were joking, because between Dazza and Jonesy they collectively know dick about what the f#ck is going on in F1. I stay up to watch F1, and these two jokers used to piss me off so much with there inane drivel.

Channel 10 do motorsport very well, and while I agree the Darrel Beatie is useless, Sheene is a legend. I'm sure there will be a marked improvement in the broadcast.

See'ya:burnout:

Jonesy is a dickhead, but ill mizz dazza! Now channel ten is the true home of motorsport they will do a much better job than nine

[fatz]

it kunt get worse than it is but ill watch it anyway

[skyline33]

i doubt it.. fair enough dazza knows **** all but he is just a good character.. bit like murray.. he to knew **** all.. but it makes it interesting..

but to say jones doesnt know anything about f1 .. hahahahhah he is about the only one who does know anything.. always gives a good point of view when analaysing crashes and doesnt talk bullshit.. he was a world champ no one in channel 10 is..

u wont be getting anything intelligent popping out of the mouth of crompton or beattie or any other wannabe champ..

cant get any worse then listening to brudle and blundell or whatever there names..

BRING BACK MURRAY

Jones isn't that bad. Technically I mean. I prefer the technical talk over jiberish. Martin's good. But Muzza is still the voice of F1. Will take a few years to get over him.

I don't see anyone in the Channel 10 lineup that comes close to Jones. Will have to wait and see.

[skyline33]

I have to say murray walker is a legend (voice of F1), he sometimes lost the plot but i didn't mind if anything it was more entertaining.

the only thing that used to annoy me with jones and eastlake is them speaking crap coming back from the ad breaks while the race is going.

apart from the above i thought jones most of the time knew what he was talking about (if an F1 champion doesn't know who would??).

[skyline33]

the important thing now is will channel 10 broadcast ITV's feed (Martin Brundle and Jame Allen) or will they have bill woods and barry sheen (or whoever from channel ten) as commentators???

If they get woods and sheen to commentate, then I'll be protesting to get f1 back to channel 9.

I loved to listen to Murray too, but Martin Brundle has a much better grasp of the technical aspect of the cars then anyone else commentating. I too agree that we want the ITV commentary, with Channel 10 providing a brief intro.

I'm sure that Jones does know about F1, but his ability to convey this is not particularly good, especially when seated next to a moron like Dazza.

hahaha that sites a classic skyline33!

Memorable moments from Channel 9's F1 coverage:

- Delays for any Championship-deciding race.

- The 2000 French GP tape not rewound back enough.

- Parc Ferme being cut and pasted, or worse yet, never shown.

- Leaving the 1999 Australian GP coverage to leave for a pre season Rugby League match, getting barely any of the podium celebrations and post race press conference from Eddie Irvine's first ever Grand Prix victory.

- The slow disappearance of Friday practice highlights, late on the Friday night of the Australian Grand Prix.

- The lack of qualifying for 16 out of 17 races. Still the only country in the world to host a Grand Prix, and yet not receive any Qualifying sessions.

- Lack of shots of the drivers and crews on the grid, Channel 9 instead opting to watch AJ and Eastlake mumble about in the studio.

-The 'In The Pits' segment being shown every now and then.

- Channel 9 spending more money (again!) on a new set, when other parts of the coverage needed more attention.

- Lack of visual reports about up and coming Australian drivers. Reporting results is all mad and wonderful, but if your world was limited to television, you wouldn't know what James Courtney or Rob Nguyen looked like.

- Eddie McGuire hosting the Australian Grand Prix coverage.

- Satellite difficulties during races. Happened to often for comfort.

- Lengths of ad breaks, particularly during live races.

- The 2000 Austrian GP, Channel 9 deciding at the last minute to change the telecast time from 10:30pm to 11:20pm!

- Eastlake and AJ cryptically giving away the result of the 2000 Japanese GP, despite there being a pathetic 7 hour delay for those on the East Coast.

- AJ discussing his next adventure, whether it be his auction or his V8 Supercar racing.

- Catching up to the ITV commentary just before the five red lights turn on, because AJ and Eastlake continue to talk, despite the fact that the ITV commentary have been talking for several minutes before the warm up lap.

- Cutting off Murray Walker on his last ever Formula 1 commentary at the 2001 USA GP, to go to a commercial break.

- The 2001 Brazilian GP - the Channel 9 director falling asleep, as ITV went to an ad break, but then reneged, when David Coulthard decided to pit (in what ended up being the turning point in the race).

- The German GP broadcast at 12:40pm. Never mind waiting for 60 minutes to be shown at 8:30pm instead of the usual 7:30pm, but also a 3 hour movie!

- The 2002 Hungarian GP breaking a new ad-during-telecast record, with 8, only to be beaten four weeks later by the 2002 Italian GP telecast, which had 9 ad breaks!

- The 2002 French GP delay, and then showing no podium, no press conference, all for the 7am news!

- The 2002 British GP delay, some seven hours.

aaah the memories :lol: :lol:

[Silver-Arrowz]

- Eddie McGuire hosting the Australian Grand Prix coverage.

Nuff said there!

Shell,

Obviously a big F1 fan. I think we should give Channel 10 a go, most of there motorsport coverage is very good, and it can't be any worse, can it?
