WSBK TV Coverage

After what sounds like a cracking weekend at Qatar, isn't anyone else a bit annoyed that there is no coverage at all on British TV?!?! Being a student, you can understand why I haven't got Sky. And I know C4 did a poor job last year but it was better than nothing!

A few years ago, BBC showed loads of races live - now look! Absolutely no coverage on terrestrial TV for arguably the worlds best bike championship!

What can we do to change the situation?

hope that Eurosport didn't show WSBK because of the olympics ..

It's pretty sad that when the championship was at it's weakest there was plenty of coverage. Now it's strong again, it can't get arrested.

TV deal!

For the UK only, but Channel 4 have picked up the highlight package again from the next round onwards! At last. Better than that, theres also the rumours that ITV could show the two British rounds live! Thankgod!

Only just read about this now, does that mean C4 showed Valencia highlights last night or is it shown on a week-delayed basis?

Whatever it is, it's still good news!

Yea, I guess it'll be on around 2am each time. The coverage wasn't perfect as they skipped a lot of important stuff, but I'm glad Warren Pole isn't doing the presenting anymore, I never liked his work - he had a good name for racing, but that's about it.

Who is presenting it now? C4 did good BSB coverage last year, despite the time it was on, the actual programme was ok!

Still Fran Robinson doing the Channel 4 WSBK highlights. Still on at a ridiculous time.
