Default Watching BSB (dam you ITV)

I want to watch the whole days BSB like I used to on Sky. I'm really not that interested in in the main 2 races although I do like watching them. Mainly its because I want to see Den ride in the Supersport and Gareth ride in the Superstock.

So thank's very much ITV I'm sure the coverage you manage to squeeze into 1h30m will be fantastic (not) and I can't wait to see what adverts will interrupt my already limited viewing.

I guess I'll have to try watching he farce that's Moto GP. Might have a fiver on Rossi to make it a tiny wee bit interesting.

Hadn't thought of that... <quickly run & switches over Sky+ to Sky Sports>

That's typical of terrestrial TV, sign an exclusive live deal and show the bare minimum. Call SKY all you want, but at least when they get hold of a live sporting event they give it full appreciation.
If ITV don't want to use their main channel then perhaps they could show the full race card on ITV2, 3 or 4. It took the BBC a few years to realise that a lot of people find motorcycle racing exciting and now they show all 17 MotoGP races live, with interactive coverage of qualifying at 15 of the 17 events.
They have all made a big song and dance about multi-channels and the digital revolution, so lets use it!

Fully agree here...ITV's coverage is crap...not looking forward to the 90min less 30min worth of ads later. SKY will still be showing 3hrs but that will be at 21h30 tonight...not good when you have to be up at 05h00 for work

Well ITV's coverage was fairly poor as expected. Will set Sky+ for it tonight and see what I missed on itv.

Didn't think much of ITV's coverage, although for us terestelly guys it's more than we got last year (1/2 hr channel 4 coverage usually a week after the event).

Didn't think much of the bike graphics when they were showing the grid, they were all the same CGI bike (looked like an R1) with different colours, that's just lazy.
