    Prime and MotoGP coverage

    Don't Prime advertise live MotoGP coverage? It looks as if this weekends racing from Catalunya is scheduled for Monday night coverage? Warriors on Sunday night at midnight,

    Wondered how long it would be before an oval ball sport would screw things up.The only ball game that I enjoy is sex, and even that has repercussions so hideous that I am considering giving up altogether.

    I shall become; Brother James, Motorcycling Monk.

    First mission will be to storm Prime offices and remove all ability to transmit oval ball sports to the flickering box of imagination reduction +2.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Don't knock Prime, they're the only reason those of us with poverty TV get to see any motorbicycle sport.

    I'll knock them as much as I want. There's more money in MotoGP than rugby, but it's STILL marginalised in favour of an oval ball sport that most oval ball sport playing countries barely take seriously.

    It's the same level of commitment to F1 that TV1 display - yes, we'll broadcast live - except when the oval ball sports or the news might be interrupted.

    Yes true, but unfortunately your views aren't the same as the majority of the population. Price you pay for being a minority...

    Imagine how the people who like to watch soccer feel.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    The majority think McDonalds is a meal & Lion or DB a great beer. At least motorcyclists participate in their sport, how many losers that watch team sports play it?

    Kick the ball. Run boy. Come on Gaaarry (old cough drop add)

    Boooor-ing!

    But it's not actually in step with what's happening out there in "the real world". F'rinstance: the most popular sport in NZ, in terms of participants: netball. How much coverage does it get cf. rugby and cricket?

    Another example: the TV stations are now covering every little piece of that boring Aussie V8 racing because they've determined that's what 'we' want, whereas other stuff that NZers are doing well in (MX, for one) gets relegated to brief snippets.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    The only place I'm in a minority is NZ. That doesn't make NZers right or clever.

    Don't start me on V8's, the racings only enlivened by arseholes playing dodgems. And Ford v Holden, it's like dinosaurs fighting to see who goes extinct first. Pushrod engines, farm trailer suspension technology. Bah, humbug!

    I for one am grateful that Prime screen the Moto GP.
    I would like to see the WSP racing that TV1 used to show as well, but I guess since no Kiwis are riding (that I know of) it is of no interest to them.

    Prime is free to air, and they bring us a sport Sky and TVNZ wouldn't,
    so I say support them.
    I can't stand rugby and league, but screaming about it makes as much sense as pissing in the wind.
    If you don't like it get off your arse and move to Europe.

    Anyone know why my Prime Tv channel reception is shit? What do I need to do to get it crystal clear? All other channels are clear except for Prime and Triangle TV.
