The way I read it was that the BBC will still be showing half the races live so it is not totally lost. Having have the races is like having half a cock, pointless. I have a dish for freesat, but I won't be paying sky, its a shame. Looking round at F1 forums, etc, there are a lot of angry people, Bernie also had to have a meeting with the teams about it, read into that what you want. Here is the BBC reaction: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/sporteditors/20...ared_betwe.html http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

Apparently the viewing figures are at a 10 year high. Alot more of my mates seem to be watching it these days, even people who aren't necessarily into motorsport as it's entertaining. i think it's more to do with £'s per viewer as i understand it cost the bbc quite alot. but its ok to keep paying the crap radio dj's 6 figure sums, and all the other waste of time shite. one day boost will be mine!

I've stopped watching the rally this year as its not on free tv, and looks like in 2013 i'll only be watching half the f1 races simple as that.

Maybe the BBC could bring back the European Rally Cross championship, used to love that as a lad. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Wankers I can't tell you how much this has pissed me off today. It's the only sport I watch and whilst I have sky there is no way I'm paying for the sports package to pay for some over grown kids kick a ball about for 200k per year. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

The drip feed of information yesterday has changed the original proposal somewhat, of Bernie has realised he's in the shit and backtracked a bit. He now says that the BBC will show full coverage but not live. I presume that he just made this up on the cuff. Either way it's the begining of the end. What they seem to forget is that people like me don't want to have to subscribe to any TV service. so I will never get Sky. Thus if it is all on Sky I can never watch. I'm not going to pay for a 12 month subscription to a load of shit I don't want to watch just for F1. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

That's what the BBC were saying when they made the announcement i.e. half the races showing live and showing highlights of the other races. I gave up my subscription to Sky years ago as it wasn't worth the money (adverts, repeats, distorted news coverage, information overload on the stuff I did watch with all the mini-screens and ticker data that didn't do all that much for me except distract) and Sky was costing more and more each year.

Yes it's possible but always pitfalls with quality, reliability of the stream, virus infection (watch out for streams that need you to download their "special player") and legality. So you need bandwidth, excellent google-fu to find a pirate stream, ideally a separate PC with a VPN to a country that won't hassle you for using the stream. |

We all know this, but at least it pays for good quality and no adverts. Plus included in the price are Radio 2, Radio 4 and 6 Records all of which I spend much more time listening to than watching all TV put together.

I guess the problem is that if the audience is at a 10 year high it is prime time to sell on at the highest price. I feel that next year the audience will be an all time low. As has be mentioned, remember WRC? I haven't even seen wrc in the news recently, not really thought about it much either. used to really like watching it even if the coverage on dave was too much random stuff and not enough footage.

A real shame as others have said, BBC got it spot on at the moment. Since they got rid of John from last year....all the crew have done a great job, especially the forum after.
