How can you say it's a rubbish comparison? They're a TV channel, it doesn't take someone with vast amounts of experience in broadcasting to know that the most important parts of a motor race for the people watching are the start, the overtakes and the finish...
Whether they're focusing on Poker or other things, they have the contract and missing two of the most important aspects of the most prestigious race of the season is, frankly, amatuerish. Someone needs talking to if that's how they think the coverage should be run.
It would be like showing the world poker final live and cutting to comercials just as the final cards are being turned over... hardly pleasing for the advert watching punters. Nothing better to make someone not watch a tv channel (and therefore, not watch your advertisers adverts) than ****ing off the viewers.
