terribleturner Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Ok guys, im in need of help please. Im thinking of a new business venture and i have to read up on tons and tons of stuff. But a big help would be if you guys could list all the motor and bike racing that you have watched (that may or may not be on anymore) and do watch. Also not really that important, but the channels on which (if it's still on) they air too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I used to watch F1 when it when it good (Some of you younger members might not remember back that far) Then Senna died and they started doing that stupid refuelling during pitstops. I don't watch it anymore. I used to love Moto GP but I think it's only on EuroSport now. Rainey, Schwantz, Mamola, Spencer, Roberts. Them were the days. Anyone remember Barry Sheen? World Superbikes is still pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World Superbikes is still pretty good. His name was Sheene!!!!! MotoGP is live on BBC this year. They are showing all rounds live for the first time. WSB lost its way with the single tyre rule, but is back on line this year with more factory teams involved so it's not so much just a Ducati championship. So what's the idea Terrible? I may be able to give you some pointers or help as I work in the bike business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Ozzie V8 saloon cars on 5 has caught my eye of late and is quite entertaining...Must admit F1 on a sunday is a good sedative after lunch *yawn* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 So what's the idea Terrible? I may be able to give you some pointers or help as I work in the bike business. Well at the moment im working for a tv company that are ending their contract next year, so im looking towards my new employment. And i've had an idea for ages of a new channel loosely based on the F1 and Rally season, but with older races filling the time between. So like one day you could be watching a classic F1 race from the 80's followed by maybe some WSB from the past and then maybe a few more races of different classes. You'd have different races each day (hopefully in season order), and then when the actual live events too place, you'd have them too. Also with F1, you wouldn't get just the race, but all the races between qualifying etc... and making a proper whole day of it. Plus each week/month we'll have competitions etc... There's loads of stuff i have to look into still and the ITC/OffCom regulations are gonna be a nightmare. Also working out the cost is gonna be scary, but i don't see it as being impossible. If anyone has any bright ideas of programming or anything then let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Sky Digital - Channel 413 - MotorsTV - already does most of the stuff you mention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 Sky Digital - Channel 413 - MotorsTV - already does most of the stuff you mention Yeah, not quite the same though. it will have a little of the same programming, but less than 20% of Motors TV already shows. Didn't know about ITV and M&M. When did this happen?? I thought M&M was still done by Flextech? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRoy Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Its in MCN this week James so its probably crap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Prawn Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 All M&M staff were laid off at the end of January. So that channel will soon just be replays and very cheap programmes. Oh wait that's what it was anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 Our company just bought Flextech, and they never tell us until the very last minute, so it doesn't surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
