Australia has the worst F1 TV Coverage!
Formula 1 is only shown on FTA in Australia. It is shown on Channel Ten. Channel Ten is Australia's home of delayed motorsport. Channel Ten has the exclusive Australian live rights to 19 rounds. Ten also has exclusive and extensive rights to all Practice and Qualifying sessions in addition to the rights to telecast highlights from all rounds. But only 4 races are shown live and they only show Practice and Qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix. F1 is shown in over 80 countries and Australia is 1 of only 2 countries that don't get live F1 races. The only other country that dosn't get live races is Russia but they get Saturday TV coverage.
e.g. Begium grand prix Live in WA would be 8:00pm Live in SA and NT would be 9:30pm Live in NSW, VIC, QLD and TAS would be 10:00pm But the race will be shown at 11:30pm. This is crap. F1 and all other motorsport should be taken away from Channel Ten. It should all go the Channel 7. If this did happen most of the racing would be shown live. All the sport on Channel 7 is shown live and they don't have any crappy shows like big brother, crap factor or Australian Idol that always run 15 minuits overtime. Australia has the worst F1 TV Coverage! |

If Channel 10 is a mainstream station, this is understandable. Showing a race in Sunday evening prime timeis not ideal, and showign it at differnet times in different parts of the country is a big logistic difficulty. I know it must be frustrating, but you have to see it from their point of view.

Every racing fan in Australia hates Channel 10. There is no excuse for this crap!

Would you quit your whinging and just get over it. Its an hour delay for gods sake, its not the end of the world.
Yes Boots, Ten is a mainstream station, its the 3rd biggest channel locally and cant afford to roll over and obey every whim and desire of the relative minority of F1 fans and get trounced in ratings by competitor stations 7 and 9. |

It is not just F1 it is all there motorsport. Sure they may have alot of motorsport on Channel Ten but they have crap TV coverage.
V8 Supercars They don't even show the Saturday V8 Supercars races and the Sunday races are always delayed and this is an Australian Series. Champcars April-August Tuesday 1:30am-3:00am (delayed about 24 hours) March and August-November Monday 11:30-Tuesday 1:30 (delayed about 22 hours) Australia is Live Moto GP Monday 12:00am earliest (delayed about 5 hours) Australia is Live A1GP Crappy highlights a week after every race. Australia will probably be shown Live IRL They probably have the Australian rights to all 17 rounds of the IRL but they only show the Indy 500. The race was shown live in VIC, NSW, QLD (The important states) and TAS and delayed in WA, SA and NT (because we aren't important) |

I'm getting a sense of de ja vu all over again about this topic. Didn't we just do this a couple of days ago?
Seriously, Network Ten still gives Formula One a better coverage than Channel Nine did. Although it could be improved, at least we're seeing it. I don't think any other FTA network in Australia would be interested in Formula One, and not every person has access to Foxtel. |

You get a lot more terrestrial racing coverage than we do in Britain by the sound of it. We get F1, most MotoGP races and 1/3 of the BTCC races live, highlights of WSBK about 12 hours later, British Superbike highlights a week alter, F3 highlights a week later, WTCC occasionally, and no ChampCar or IRl at all.

I think your right boots. The coverage here is nowhere near as bad as some make it out to be. Although very few international races are shown live we generally get to see F1, MotoGP & Champcar, etc within 24 hours.

CH 10 do a good enough job for mine, at least they have shorter ad breaks than ITV. |

I'm very pleased I don't live in Australia if this level of coverage must be endured.
Every country should have live coverage of F1, whether it be free to air or on satellite or whatever. |

Surely KB, you have to admit that there are major practical difficulties due to Australia's split timezones and the fact that the races fall on Sunday evening Australian time.

Well, have it live on a satellite channel and then delayed free-to-air.
It's a shame, because I'd quite like to holiday in Australia, but I'd have to fit in outside the F1 season. |

I would say that for each of those countries the coverage is definately worse than for Australia. |

The only reason we see Live F1 in New Zealand is purely the time difference. It suites our broadcaster. Our races start at midnight NZT. The asian races are all delayed because regular progames are screened at their normal slots on a Sunday

Also channel ten didn't cut any of the race out during add breaks. That didn't last long because they aren't doing that anymore. |
