TV Coverage?
« on: May 03, 2007, 12:50:53 pm »
Anyone heard anything on TV coverage of this years Le Mans?

By this point last year I'm sure the ACO were shouting about full coverage on Cannel+ and MotorsTV but not seen/heard anything this year?

I have had some contact with Marc Cole from MotorsTV, and he said they will broadcast even more than last year.
The MotorsTV crew will try to come by on Friday night at DfH ;D

As Paddy says, the coverage is great this year.  I'm currently watching the 1988 race which is on at the moment as part of their "Countdown to Le Mans" series.  It's a pity that Motors is so difficult to get in the UK.  Much better here where it's part of the very basic Canal + package.  Because unlike the other channels who've been given the rights in the past, they really take it seriously.  Great job last year, certainly.

.....  I'm currently watching the 1988 race which is on at the moment as part of their "Countdown to Le Mans" series. .....


I watched that the other night, Termie - absolutely fantastic.  Thought I might get a glimpse of yours truly at the finish as I was right opposite the Jag pits, but the cameras didn't pan round that far.  Autosport did, however, feature me on the front page of their next issue (see below).  LM was early that year -  11 June, and also race started at 3.00




Honest, I really was there!!  Thats me with my arms raised, next to the higher of the two Union Flags.
 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

As I understand it, this is the second year of Motors TV two year deal.

Has anyone heard any news of an extension of the deal as they did a great job last year?

Cheers

Coo, that's optimistic, hgb, that a TV deal will get struck, before the previous one's expired.  They have to fight over money (and fight off Mr Murdoch) first!
