BBC Live Coverage

WHICH COMPLETE MUPPET MADE THAT DECISION MID RACE?

For anyone who set a Sky+ or equivalent to record the race this morning, I hope you are as disgusted as I am. To change the channel mid way through a race is unforgiveable, especially when its on so early in the UK (even the BBc must realise people will record it) and when there is a World Championship at stake.

My letter of complaint has already been sent to the BBC. Useless tossers. The sooner live broadcasts of the MotoGP race end up back on Eurosport (probably never happen though) the better. BBC sucks, Charlie Cox sucks, the dont deserve to broadcast the biking equivalent of Formula 1. Personally I cant see the BBC swapping channels midway through an F1 race, can you?

and then as the champion cools down and celebrates they run out of time?

Errr, no, I wont actually! As a license payer, I am entitled to rant, and rant I will. Ive not missed a race in 7 years. having watched the entire season unfold, to have the deciding race chopped off is a disgrace. Theres no way it would happen in an FA Cup final that went to extra time, or an F1 race, so wht the f**k is it so different for a MotoGP race? As KwaZZR said above, it seems like they even made a mess of it once it had swapped to another channel! Somebody should lose their job for this. I lost mine for less.

They did the other weekend when F1 came from Brazil, it rained and it all got delayed, so they switched to BBC2 halfway through the coverage... and that was during prime time and they delayed strictly come dancing...

I agree though it was pretty annoying. I had the same issue. I should have sky+ the eurosport coverage instead...
