It's going to be interesting to see how the viewing trends of formula 1 in NZ are like next year with live TV coverage going to pay TV. :?

It's another live sport that free to air TVNZ have lost the rights to. :?

In that context,we here in India are very lucky..most of the races are live at a decent hour.Around 5.30pm :D
Except US -10.30pm , Brazil-11.30 pm , Sepang- 11.30 am,China - 12.30pm & Japan - 10.30am which is still decent :D

As I already have sky I'm glad that they have got the rigths to F1. :)

The European rounds will still be live at midnight, but with sky they will have replays at decent times. The problem that I had with the way TVNZ covered F1 was that they had a policy of showing delayed coverage of races that occured between 6pm and 11pm. :evil: Watching edited races a week later is something I'm glad that I won't have to put up with. I missed watching a few races because of that.

I haven't heard many people complain about it. :!: Kiwi's usually complain when free to air TV loses rights to pay TV.

I think its time i add my 2 cents....

For us in S.A, almost all the races are at 2pm, expect for Japan and China, which are at 7am, and U.S.A and Canada which are at 7pm.....i dunno what time Brazil is though...i forget... :?

I might have missed out a few though.....
