Well, we have the Olympic games, and the European Soccer tournament, so I'm betting he's doing one or both of those.
Meanwhile, Bernie's done a deal with Tata. “It’s the most significant moment for F1 since the advent of satellites,” says Eddie Baker, the man responsible for broadcasting F1 TV and data around the world. http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/2012/0...es-f1-forever/ |

The Allen and Legard swaporoo. This is Bernie pulling the strings to punish cheeky English viewers trying the RTL option.

Meanwhile...another blow to the Murdoch empire's desire to monopolise all televised sport.

Nice to see Damon Hill with his Sky Sports F1 HD pin on his blazer for a piece on Sky News about PS3 racers making it to real racing.
So I wonder if we now have for ex-racer pundits: BBC: David "Bridesmaid" Coulthard Sky F1: Damon "I Actually WON It" Hill |

Or to look at it another way...
David "15 years in F1, last raced in '08" Coulthard Damon "8 years in F1, last raced in '99" Hill Isn't spin great |

They have 4 and a half hours of coverage listed for the race itself. 04:30 to 09:00.

keep seeing the awesome sky f1 adverts on tv, and was almost thinking if they kept the same attitude for the actual coverage it'd be awesome. i *almost* bought into the hype.
then they followed up with a bout of truly dire punditry for the league cup final and i just wanted to poke my eyes out with a fork. god help them if they turn f1 into the equivalent of yesterday's "he had a good first half, didn't he?" "yeah, he started off well, and then he just continued" rubbish on the football. |

Wot wiv the Soaraway Sunday Sun launch with its Amanda Holden "My heart stopped for 40 seconds" scoop on the front Murdoch supporters are having a right good runup to the Sky F1 launch innit.
"So what you're saying Damon is if Alonso had just gone that little bit quicker in Q3 he'd be on pole? He must be gutted?" Damon nods...... |

I see they are using the F1 channel to screen Indycar races.

I wonder when the best time to tune in will be if you don't need to watch 2 hours of build up? I only really need the race as I can watch all the extra stuff on the BBC highlights later on.

About 1 hour 25 minutes in as it's 90 minutes build up not 2 hours.

More people should be watching the IndyCars, and perhaps its the exposure that the series needs here in the UK! Strong rumours of Rubens going to KV today I hear! Really looking forward to it. The new cars are lovely, too. Selby |

I may even send an email of encouragement to consider screening other forms of motorsport although I don't want to see them pinching stuff off Motors great schedule this year. |

It's only the first Indy car race that's on SSF1HD, the four other channels all have live sports on in the evening.
The subsequent races are all scheduled for the main channels ... SS4HD for the next couple IIRC |

Last time the Sky Sports site offered me the chance to complete one of their surveys, that is exactly what I told them.
