It said live streaming, so I guess they'll show it live on the ITV website and show highlights on the same day on ITV4.

the Eurosport Live Streams of WTCC are only available from their Southern European channels e.g. Eurosport France, Eurosport Germany etc.
UK's Eurosport live streams have never worked for WTCC apart from straight from the Official WTCC Website. |

Ok then, it refers to the live stream available from the WTCC website (which is provided by Eurosport)

ITV4 have shown highlights from the past two rounds, they were just the same review shows from Eurosport, with Martin Haven commentary. So what's new?
I just hope Charlie Webster won't be presenting... |

Man, that WTCC press release is full of misinformation;
"The World Touring Car Championship has announced an improved television coverage package, which includes terrestrial coverage in the UK. Umm...since when has ITV4 been a terrestrial channel? "The series this year has only previously been available on satellite television in Britain, but promoter, and satellite channel, Eurosport have agreed a deal for the digital channel ITV4 to broadcast coverage of the 2008 championship races." And that's still the same as it has been all year. It's still satellite/digital (ITV4) and its still the 30 minute highlights a week later. So where is this "improved television coverage" in Britain?? It's exactly what it has been all year! Someone needs their backside kicked for putting out misleading information like that. |

Digital terrestrial. Practically anyone who doesn't live in an area inhabited by inbreds can get it.

So you're another one who believes the hype that digital is available to all but the furthest flung reaches of the empire. Don't get me started

Digital Terrestrial covers 81% of the population at the moment, and will rise to 98% in 4 years.
