Why dont we just tune in and see ...

The first show, the season preview this weekend, is a one hour show.
There will be a few other one hour shows during the year, bathurst, indy etc.....but after the season preview, show will revert to a 1/2 hour format.

Perhaps thats where some of the confusion lies.
I state again, this weekend will be a ONE HOUR SEASON PREVIEW.

For people who don't believe Just Asking this is from the Coverage release on the V8 website

What time? If I follow the Yahoo7 guide I might miss 1/2 of the show.

Those are mighty important minutes in life that Barney might miss out on if he watches 30 mins early.

In the grand scheme of things 30 minutes is not all that important..... however the fact that there is confusion depending on which online guide you look at, is not a good sign (and I'm not meaning to jump on any bandwagons with this!).

If there is different length coverage for different markets, that would make you wonder what other V8 Coverage will be varied depending upon your location.... If none, then that is fine.... but starting off with it will make people as the question.

Tongue was firmly in the cheek there Rombles. We here in Sunny Darwin appear to be getting the full hour via Southern Cross this Sat, after that nobody knows. They station here can't even tell me! Given they have said they will take Ch10 AFL as well it looks like late nights on sat for me. As well as livetiming and bigpond during the day.

I am not worried about the coverage as I exspect it to be a quality product like Ch10 gave us.

My main concern was similar to Rombles1 in that the official Ch7 TV guide is still giving out incorrect info about the season preview of their brand new show.

WTF, where the 1/2 hour come from my tv guide says 1 hour.
