Ending live TV coverage is a disappointment - seems a backwards step. I struggle a bit with the idea that live TV can affect gate numbers as in my case live TV makes no difference as to whether I attend the event or not. I think it wouldn't be too difficult to conduct a survey to get a more definite understanding, but I guess it's a moot point really given cost is the main driver in this decision.

I agree with this also. I'm a fan of the series but the gap between rounds 2 and 3 is greater than 2 months, and then another 3 months before the endurance rounds start. I understand there are good reasons the schedule is what it is, but it does mean things drop off the radar a bit.
Maybe there is nothing that can be done in either case, but I'm concerned that these 2 issues will restrict the growth of the series.
