Thanks for the links guys,
we might need them tomorrow. they might be able to move the start time, but I can't see the BBC showing it any earlier and I'm not sure eurosport can change times either.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (phleg @ Mar 5 2008, 09:05 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>We might have to put up with it soon. There are rumours Dorna want to stop Eurosport showing MotoGP so they can get a larger target audience.
It hasn't been a rumour for about 3 months, deal has been done. Dorna would like Motogp to be on only free to air channels, so in the UK it will only be on the BBC next year. Dorna's theory of trying to reach more people by dropping Eurosport is a strange one. Some countries rely on the coverage, they provide as their local stations don't cover the sport. They also don't realise motorbike racing is a niche market, putting it on free to air isn't going to dramatically increase audiences.
I don't see the harm in letting Eurosport continue to show motogp alongside regional channels as it has done for so many years. Also seems like a kick in the teeth as Eurosport took motogp on when no one wanted it, look at the fan base Eurosport has now!
Looks like Julian has signed with Dorna to do their live feed commentary, no news on Moody yet, could be a possibility of the beeb.

It's a great move, & a good step to geting rid of ...... pay-per-view television.

I got to laugh at that. Do you enjoy watching Suzi Perry trying to suck JT and Edwards off every race weekend? I mean she doesn't know anything about racing, so she has to try and entertain you guys some way.
Yes the strategy may give more people the chance to watch the sport if your respective country shows Motogp, however not all countries do. How is that growing the sport? It actually may alienate some of the fanbase. It will also mean in the short term less people in Europe will be able to watch the sport as some countries rely on what you call the "the ...... pay-per-view".
Where do you think all these fans will come from? By the Beeb having the sole rights will their audience significantly rise? No it won't they will take a chunk of the UK Eurosport base, that's were it ends. The beeb don't have the time nor the funds to grow the fanbase. Do you think showing races on the red button will help when races clash with golf, tennis, rugby, F1, show jumping?
How will it create more diverse sponsorship? Are you serious? Dorna are deluded if they think they can turn Motogp into the money pit that is F1. Motogp isn't mainstream simply fact.... it never will be, two wheels isn't everyone's cup of tea. Sponsorship is hard to come by it's mainly riders who bring them to the table. Showing it on channels without commercial breaks, will attract them how?
The biggest growth market for Dorna is the US, this is were they need to improve their marketing strategy, not Europe.

And you base those numbers on what?
Where I live Eurosport are covered probably some 80% of the population and the remaining 20% simply couldn't care less and that's why they dont have a dish or cable connection.
So far two channels have turned Dorna down and there is a very high posibility we won't have MotoGp at all. Even if we did get it it would be 2. priority and probably only send 40% of the actual production time with even worse commentators.
Regardless of the outcome this will mean largely reduced viewer numbers in my country and probably the rest of scandinavia. My only hope is that the situation in the rest of europe is similar and that Dorna realize their huge misstake and sell it back to Eurosport.

The biggest growth market for Dorna is the US, this is were they need to improve their marketing strategy, not Europe.I don't watch for the commentators, & I wasn't just talking about pay-per-view racing, I'm sick of missing other sports as well.
For a start the BBC is raising it's amount of coverage for next year already. & it can offer what Eurosport can't which is solid coverage with the red button. It has more resources, more opportunity for expansion than Eurosport will ever have. I've witnessed the expansion since 2005, & it's got bigger every year since. I've seen people asking "Why isn't it on Eurosport?" every few races. You won't have that with the Beeb because of the interactive service.
Attract sponsors how? by guaranteeing a larger audience, that's how it works. Terrestrial television gives you a whole country rather than the small audience share of pay-per-view. Any audience lost in mainland Europe could be replaced by that larger audience share. Also if the broadcasters of those other countries don't accept a Moto GP package from Dorna it's down to them, with Dorna focusing on terrestrial I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
So it's what you do with that potential that counts, & it does have to be built up. & That's why Toseland has barely been off of the television in the UK, they are in the midst of building up the market. You don't think that the BBC's F1 coverage will have a lead in to their Moto GP coverage? 500cc was mainstream enough in the 70's & early 80's in the UK, but I know what you are thinking, no BS.
For the last time, Moto GP will not clash with F1, they work the calendars out together.
But .... what do I know? I just work in the industry

I would dearly love to know the numbers they will lose Europewide compered to the numbers they will gain through terrestrial. I bet they know. But then they are covered by motogp.com as well aren't they.

The key market in Europe is actually Spain and Italy. Growth market is USA. There are no major UK sponsors for a reason.
You also have to pay for motogp.com. Eurosport comes free with the basic sky package, not sure about Europe.

Only available to the UK.... No good to the Europeans who rely on Eurosport. Don't need to do that anyway with Eurosport as races are repeated

What is Eurosport coverage not solid? A practice sessions on Friday, Qualifying, warm up (sometimes) and race for all classes.

. Eurosport are currently showing the coverage in HD, okay not true HD, just upscaled, however still a better picture.

I can't be ....... bothered
I'll just point out that it's a gamble on Dorna's part, these things always are, that's exactly what I was trying to illustrate.
Why should I be at the race? I work in tv & media, not Moto GP.

Why would key markets be any consideration at all, except for geting more money. Those markets allready have one aired channel or more showing motoGP. BBC will continue to show MotoGP if I've understood it right, not? That give them all the coverage they can get. Eurosport is interesting for the non key markets and that's where they loose rather than gain viewers.
MotoGP.com is anoption but a very bad one compared with TV. Their feeds are unstable and the resolution are not good enough.
I would dearly love to know the numbers they will lose Europewide compered to the numbers they will gain through terrestrial. I bet they know. But then they are covered by motogp.com as well aren't they.
Why would key markets be any consideration at all, except for geting more money. Those markets allready have one aired channel or more showing motoGP. BBC will continue to show MotoGP if I've understood it right, not? That give them all the coverage they can get. Eurosport is interesting for the non key markets and that's where they loose rather than gain viewers.
MotoGP.com is anoption but a very bad one compared with TV. Their feeds are unstable and the resolution are not good enough.
