583373 2008-02-17 06:24:00 Well TV3 have started the coverage with a bang, by cutting 30 minutes out of the V8xtra preview show that was supposed to go for an hour. and putting in 3 hosts that look like tools on TV. DarkCypher (11945)
583374 2008-02-17 07:03:00 Tv3 paid millions for the golf to be shown live thats why the v8 xtra show was delayed by half an hour. Tv3 are showing next weekends races on sunday race 1 first followed by race two later both on sunday the qualifying will be shown on saturday as these times were advertised today on 3.

Yes tv3 are getting a freeview channel in september and it will be live and free to air then just as tvnz did with there sports xtra channel on freeview so for those who now have freeview they will now miss the live coverage they were getting becasue tv1 no longer have the rights to the v8s as tv3 now have them for the next 5 years.

583377 2008-02-17 07:50:00 Those so called hosts are a pair of morons and a bike racer. wotz (335)
583378 2008-02-17 07:55:00 Those two morons as you refer to them as are from the rock radio station still its better than looking at poofy geoff bryan every sunday with his please look at me type look to keep you watching to see whats going to happen next.

I think tv3 will do well with th v8s as they have a better target audience and its not for oldies on a an old farts channel which is what tv1 has rapidly become.

583379 2008-02-17 09:48:00 we'll see how they get on, i actually kinda miss Geoff and Bob mcmurray when they did the F1 at nights.....oh well.

And don't blame tv3 for their so called "live" coverage, Tony Cochrane's the bloke who ok'd this.

583380 2008-02-17 10:14:00 "Bob" the Team McLaren Truck Driver :D :D :D

What a laugh he was. "I've just got off the phone from talking with the team" he used to say .....yeah right :o

I got better and more up-to-date accurate F1 news off Atlas or autosport.com

My interest in V8 Supercars has now dropped, thanks to TV3 and their pitiful "LIVE" coverage BS.

583382 2008-02-24 00:48:00 ok, after watching a bit of the coverage, i would now rather watch GBryan than those 3 morons who's ridiculously under-qualified to talk about v8supercars. One 's a radio snob, the other a cricket commentator , and finally a retired (for 9yrs) monaco based bike rider.....



go figure...
