28k more than last year and more than the crowd.

of course that is 28k average, not 28k total, wonder how many different people that included

peckstar · 28 Mar 2015, 02:17 (Ref:3520693)

Got to watch my first live qualyfying on fox (other events have been on ten)

Its great not to sit in front of computer and watch live timing without vision.

However some improvements.
I want data. I want live timing on the screen. I dont want to sit their with a secondary device in qualyfying which has the timing on it.
They changed the font for the actual timing back to smaller font.

email on the way to supercars

Less than 50% of the Clipsal Friday rating. Pretty weak and wonder what that means for the rest of the weekend

What's more worrying for V8SC is that the F1 Show out rated it

Not surprising. I ended up getting Foxtel for formula 1, not the V8s.

Recent history suggests that they would get more eyes on them via SpeedWeek rather than PayTv

I know you like to keep topics on track Pecky so can we keep to the topic: this is called "V8 Supercars back to TEN in 2015!!!!!", not Fox.

pug205 · 28 Mar 2015, 06:44 (Ref:3520747)

You are wasting your time mayhem. "peckstar" is not a real person but an automated V8 Supercar marketing system. It posts promotional material on this forum to self promote it's events and keep threads in line with it's programming parameters. It is similar to those ones you see about making great $$$ all while working from home and should be taken with the same level of scepticism at all times.

Must say though the Foxtel coverage is indeed excellent. Watching such dull lifeless races in HD and ad free has been awesome and a dream come true.

Oh, so he got the job?

Congrats, Pecky. Sounds like your unwavering tenacity paid off.

That's not the title. Its V8 Supercars back to TEN in 2015!!!!! (Merged x6)

now what were the topics of those 6 merges, why it included foxtel. amazing

Just discuss the media package instead of me and all will be fine

What great coverage on fox, no adds, HD and live all sessions

now if we could just get rid of skaife,

xrystl · 28 Mar 2015, 07:28 (Ref:3520762)

I hooked up for two weeks free on Foxtel just to check it out ,
The racing is just as boring on Foxtel as it will be on One later on , a lot of dribble between races (fill in) which wouldn't be missed by most anyone ,
Tomorrows race which is about 80 laps may be better with pit stops and all that comes with it , I certainly hope so because the racing really seems to have stagnated , a couple of passing moves in the length of a race isn't IMHO much to crow about.

chavez · 28 Mar 2015, 08:16 (Ref:3520775)

Only 1 hour and 20 minutes to go before the highlights on ONE.

I've avoided finding who won and I am looking forward to excellent racing in the one hour highlight format.

Hopefully Nathan and the boys have edited together a slick production.

Why do we have paid lobbyists/spruikers/hawkers on a public forum ? Can we start a poll or petition to get rid of this obvious insurgent from V8 Supercars/Foxtel

Because its public.

are you suggesting there is only one side to the foxtel discusion? and that posters cant take the other side, how sad

Let me tell you another good thing about foxtel. The discusion regarding a certain incident was great. Normally with FTA they would have to rush of to some other commercial responsibility (like an ad break) and so little time to discuss, instead we got driver interviews. team owners , experts, bargs. It was great.

and even better they were able to discuss it without the need to have every second commenter moaning about foxtel or how bad v8s have become.

Well there we go, you admit that you're a Foxtel/Supercars stooge, this forum is for the general public, not for someone with a vested interest in pushing the interests of a commercial enterprise.

Where did i admit that, and since when has having someone on a forum with knowledge bad for a forum. interesting idea. Not! (Better get rid of all those team owners over on the 12 hour site, they are just pushing their vested interests)

What if there are v8 supercars fans on this forum that actually like having foxtel and reckon many of the things it offers (but not mark skaife) are great. Imagine. #mindblown

Why?

No one would argue that the coverage given by Foxtel is anything but the best the series has ever been given so why harp on about it? What exactly is to be gained by going on about it and relaying which sessions you are watching and that it is ad free and in HD?

As I say no one questions the quality of the telecast but more the long term effect on the series by having such a great broadcast being viewed now in such low numbers. The Foxtel team can discuss the Courtney/Davison incident till the cows come home if they wish but with a such a reduced audience, that saying about the tree falling in the woods comes to mind.

david5 · 28 Mar 2015, 10:47 (Ref:3520841)

At the risk of being off topic, when is the F1 on this weekend ? Please.

Because this is the media package thread and for the first time its only on fox and thus this is the thread to discuss the coverage
