583353 2007-09-15 23:00:00 The smart thing for TV3 to do, would be for them to have a dedicated sports channel like TVNZ sports extra. I've quite liked watching qualifying and races live on freeview and I'd be gutted to see that go. DarkCypher (11945)
583354 2007-09-16 01:19:00 I have just sent an angry e mail to tv not give a **** nz about the v8 race for sandown 500 is it any wonder tvnz is losing revenue and ratings when they don't listen to there viewers. Good on tv3 for having the courage to show more live coverage next year im pretty sure we will see sandown live next year with tv3, you just cant rely on tvnz anymore. Hitech (9024)
583355 2007-09-16 04:36:00 No, that is standard for Sandown. Its driven by all the old whingers that can't have the 6.30 news any later. At least they are showing it in full tonight. In the past they have only shown highlights the next week. As for me, freeview.

I think Sandown is done in 2 races. If memory serves me correctly last year TV1 showed race one live and race 2 about 11-30 that night or the next weekend.

It's just the 1 race and 161 laps, also I think TV1 split it last year and played one half one week and the rest the week after.


Isn't it live on sports extra on Freeview?

Yeah so I'm abit puzzled as to how TV3 can do a better job.

583358 2007-09-16 22:43:00 Tv3 agreed with v8 supercars australia to show more live coverage than what tv1 does now,V8 supercars agreed with an offer like that it was to good to turn down so it looks like tv3 will show sandown nextyear despite the time difference tv3 are looking after there motorsport viewers which is way better that what tv1 have ever done.

583359 2007-09-17 01:59:00 I think TV1 might of put the Sandown race on late because Formula 1 was on Sky at more or less the same time.

any news on the tv3 coverage only 3 weeks to go,

I cant see how it going to be better, no freeview sports channel for TV3,
tv 3 also has the A1s on saturday/sunday avo or 10.25pm as last night.

583361 2008-02-04 02:05:00 I agree. Unless tv3 does it ad-free, all live, including qualifying, it will be worse than last year wotz (335)
583362 2008-02-04 04:03:00 Im sure you will hear more about the coverage as the 24th of feb gets closer tv3 will be showing that live.

As long as HOLDEN kicks ass again this year like last year ford will be very worried HOLDEN RULZ.
