Default It's Happened - V8's on Chanel 7

"The Seven Network will fork out up to $70 million over six years for the broadcast television rights to the V8 Supercars Australia championship series.

The deal, which took 15 months to finalise, secures the network's rights for 2007 to 2012 from current holder and rival Ten Network".

Reference: Chanel 7

Well, shall we see the return of Crompton to Chanel 7, and will the others follow? Chanel 10 no longer show SBK (World Superbikes) and now the V8's are to follow. Shall be an interesting change for us all don't you think?

Dave

Don't know if I'll like it but I'll still watch it. Seems unfair to Ten as they put in the hard yards to get V8's on air more than just the Bathurst week-end.

Have nightmare memories of previous channel seven attempts - races shown at eleven at night, crap commentatators etc etc. Channel Ten have done a great job, lets hope 7 have learnt how to present motor racing. They might even get Daryl Eastlake and Doug Mulray to be commentators (joke), Wayne Aunger - speed week would be good.
What happens with F1 and Indy, these still stay with TEN?. What happens to the telecast of these races with V8 supercars in them.

Thanks TEN

Hope you do at least as good a job SEVEN

Having paid so much money for the rights, 7 will have to broadcast in decent time slots to gain maximum income from advertisers.
Also, production will be 100% controlled by V8 Supercars, not 7.
