Motors TV gone for good?

Following the widespread worry and turmoil pre season when French owned Motors TV dissapeared from the Sky EPG due to a dispute, there are yet more troubling reports Tonight that the beleaguered broadcaster has once again vanished and gone off air, with social media speculation that this time, it could be for good.

If true, this will throw countless British championships, teams and drivers plans into disarray having gained vital sponsorship based on the fact they would gain exposure on the all important TV coverage.

Having provided many years of brilliant motorsport TV to France, UK and Europe, if rumours are true it would mark a very sad moment in the motorsport TV landscape and in British motorsport overall.

No comment has been made by the channel Tonight but surely the people who stump up the cash to pay for filming of some club racing championships must be getting fed up and probably thinking about a more stable, HD solution!

Video did not kill the radio star…..

 

Motors TV resumes broadcasting on Sky 447.

Following the turmoil of a week ago when the French owned Motors TV suddenly dissapeared from Sky’s Electronic Programme Guide, The broadcaster has today announced that it has ‘resolved the issue’ and is back on the Sky EPG.

Many championships in this country rely heavily on the exposure the channel provides; many competitors and championships took to social media in the past week to express their worry and outrage, with some already looking into alternative platforms for exposure for the race coverage they pay a lot of money for.

Maybe only time will reassure the British motorsport industry that the channel is back for good?
