GT1 on BloombergTV?

davehenrie · 12 May 2010, 02:52 (Ref:2688984)

In the USA, Bloomberg TV, a business news channel, is supposed to have the broadcast rights of GT1. But I haven't found any advertising of air times and going through the Satellite DVR schedule, I see nothing on BTV through the weekend of the next race in Brno.
Is BTV really broadcasting the races and if so....WHEN?

thanks

I didn't see the GT1 race from Silverstone on the guide here on Comcast but the GT3 race was on Sunday morning. Plantlemans had a press release that said Bloomberg would be carrying all the GT1 and GT3 events live and may have some select GT4 events as well. I'll keep an eye in the guide here, we only get a week at a time, and post if I see anything for the Brno weekend.

It's been on Bloomberg over here, it is strange to see it on a Business News channel! I was at Silverstone for the weekend, but got home each evening and managed to watch the re-runs both times!

Your right its very strange - I couldnt believe it when I saw it, given Bloomberg is Free ti Air over her and you dont need a Sky subscription to watch it - what with Nascar being on that other Open Access something channel its getting very good, long may it continue.

Ideal for FIA GT to be on Bloomberg, it is probably the only other place you will hear of all the financial institutions and expensive watches that sponsor 3/4 of the grid.......

There web page TV schedule did not have the races listed on the weekend of the Silverstone race but my DVR did list both qualifying and GT3 races and the qualifying for the GT1, but no GT1 qualifying race nor main race. I think in the US we are only getting the GT3 races. The only problem I have with the Bloomberg coverage is the financial stripe they have at the bottom of the screen, it covers the race running order and timing that the SRO provides on the feed.

GT1 from Silverstone on Bloomberg shortly at 5pm tonight here in the UK. GT3 on now. Both repeated tomorrow.

I see they've also got Superleague Formula highlights!

According to Comcast's channel guide, the GT3 highlights (1 hour) will be on at 1100 EDT Sunday and the GT1 highlights (1 hour) will be on at noon. Not too bad a racing day then, finally get to see some GT action from Europe with Monaco on beforehand.

Was nice to see racing without commercial breaks, even if the races were cut to about 20 min of highlight coverage each.

I can't find anything on Bloomberg here in the states. Can anyone help?

The Silverstone race was on this past weekend. I think they are broadcasting 1 week after the event.
