Thank you for your prompt reply confirming that MotoGPs will not be shown on Sky.

You wrote:

We have coverage of the THQ Supercross and the Superbikes this season.

But Jill that is of no comfort whatsoever...........
That is like saying to a Coro fan. There will be no more Coronation Street but we will be showing Emmerdale..............
Please reconsider that unthinkable decision and make the arrangements neccessary to make MotoGPs happen for Kiwis.

I feel that the normally complacent motorcycle sport fans will revolt.
These subscribers by their nature are not there for Rugby etc. They pay to receive motorcycle sport and the MotoGP is central to that.
Without MotoGP we have nothing........

LOL - I think you will find that they will not pay the exhorbidant broadcast rights fees regardless of what is said. They had a mutual agreement last time that reduced the costs.

At the end of the day - MB racing is a small target audience.

PS - has anyone checked whether any of the other channels are broadcasting it BEFORE hammering Sky?

However - my email to them

Jill,

It has come to my attention that Sky are no-longer going to broadcast the MotoGP for the 2004 season.

I would be interested to understand the rationale behind this. Whilst I can appreciate that the contract with Telstra/Saturn no longer facilitates the broadcasting - has Sky explored the opportunity of purchasing the broadcasting rights themselves?

Also - has Sky any awareness of the audience numbers that the series attracted in NZ and therefore the customer base they are alienating by not endeavouring to cover the series in 2004?

I note you mentioned we will have the THQ Motorcross. However you fail to acknowledge that this is a DIRT based racing event - which you have always had - so there is nothing new in providing this and it provides no solace for track racing fans. You also mention you have Superbikes - again this was already broadcast so isn't anything new. Also - if Sky were in touch with their audience and the shifting trends in sport - they would acknowledge that the SBK series is diminishing - and is no longer the 'World Championship' it was but more a marketing exercise for Private Racing Teams - especially now all the top riders are now racing MotoGP. My guess is you retained this through your affiliations with BSkyB rather than any proactive efforts to show Motorbike Racing on your service.

It is extremely disappointing that Sky have ignored what is a large and growing segment of their customer base - and especially at a time when Saturn is a growing presence in the market. It appears more and more that Sky are no longer showing what the customers wish to see - but rather what can be obtained at the best price. For Example - I would dare say more customers in NZ would watch the MotoGP racing than the Eastern Conference NFL game between the 6th and 9th placed teams - yet we are persistently given American sports as an appetiser between the NZ Sports. On this premise - why aren't we given the AMA Motorbike Championship - and only given NFL/NBA/NHL?

I have NEVER received a survey from SKY ASKING me what programmes I would like to see on your service - how then can you plan to meet your customers needs if you don't ask them what they want? Isn't this the biggest 'staple' of running a customer focused SERVICE organisation?

This was similar to Sky's dropping of the Premier Snooker Championship 4 years ago - whereby no acknowledgement or explanation was given after covering the event for 3 years.

I am certainly cognisant of the fact that Sky needs to run to a compromise and cater to the wider audience, whilst running profitability for already obsecenely rich shareholders - however this decision appears to run contrary to my knowledge of the audience figures of these broadcasts of MotoGP - I would be interested to know (unless sensitive) whether the viewing audience of the MotoGP races has grown or diminished thereby validating your decision or vindicating my email.

I would appreciate some feedback as to the decision made to not broadcast MotoGP.

Bollocks. It's gone and it won't be back. If they can ditch Formula 1 then they'll deep six MotoGP without a backwards glance. I would suggest that the decision is dictated by the cost to Sky and the lack of ratings when compared to that cost.

NZ is the land of the oval ball and I would also humbly submit that MotoGP may also have impinged on some rugby schedule.

Been through this with the F1 campaign and once they've made a decision they won't go back.

Yeah, deep down I know you are right :weep: and Sky won't back down. So how do we lobby TV1 ?? :confused:

BUT I am pretty pissed off with Sky and my sub could very well be cancelled.

The other BUT is; we can't just roll over and let the b*stards win. Motorcycling has enough enemies. We are second-class citizens and we need to fight for what we really deserve...... :angry2: :mad: :bash:

Heres mine:

Dear Sir/Madam.



I am disgusted to hear that the MotoGP series will not be shown on sky this year.

I have had sky since it was first released in NZ some 10 or 15 years ago.

I also was amongst the first to purchase digital at a price of around $1000 when you promised us Formula one that you then didn’t show.

Motogp is by far surpassing super bikes now for its level of entertainment and I would seriously reconsider my having sky given that you are dropping support of a series that I love to watch.

I hope you reconsider.

I may use my money to go to do outdoor activities and cancel my subscription.

If anyone-TV3 has shown more bike racing this year (except for sky),
Maybe they would be sympathetic.

Dont know where you get that from?

I dont think i have seen any motorbike racing at all on tv3, although i could be wrong.

All the motor racing i have seen has been on sky (live coverage of SBK and MGP) and delayed coverage on tv 1 on a sunday afternoon.

Although, tv3 might want to take the coverage cause they took the rally coverage off tv1 a few years ago and now show quite good coverage of it, the weekend that the rally is actually on. So that could be another idea.

:bash: Hi Fellow Motorcycling People. I've sent the following to all those at SKY:
"To Whom it may Concern, It is with utter disgust that I have learned that Sky will not have the Moto GP this year. I am a keen Motorcyclist and have been a Sky customer for 10 years. Whilst the SuperBikes are likened to Touring cars, and it is to be commended that you are showing them, Moto GP is Formula 1 on two wheels. It is Not some small series that no one will watch. It is even more interesting this year as many riders have swapped teams, Rossi going to Yamaha being one of them, and new riders starting, eg: Hodgson and Xaus coming over from SuperBikes.I was so glad a few years ago when Sky took up showing it. It saved me having to go down to my local Pub to watch them on the Big Screen.
Whislt I think it should be part of the existing service I would, as a last resort, consider Pay-Per-View. I think you are making a mistake not showing the GPs, and I know there would be an uproar if Formula 1 was not shown. I hope you will listen to the voice of Motorcyclists and Customers.
Yours Sincerely, Ian Thornton."
I will send a modified version to TV1,3 & Prime. Ya got to do something. No use moanin' after it's gone for good !!!
Cheers, Ian. :ar15:

But hold on - you will have the full Nascar season on Sky as well, as well as 8 different soccer leagues from around the world - full coverage of the NBA, NFL and NHL seasons, wood chopping, drag racing, Argentinian Polo matches and of course Atheltics. Oh - and the PRCA Rodeo, 4 reruns of each rugby game....the AFL season as well, and I forgot Major League Baseball ( this has an immense following in NZ - so my apologies).

Indy car is another one well worth watching as opposed to MotoGP as well as the good old viewing staple of Powerboating (can't be without that)

Sepang this weekend too. I will wait with baited breath to see if Kawasaki look like being competitive this year. Brand-new bike running Bridgestones this season. Apparently they were only half a second off the Hondas at practice. It will also be interesting to see how Dr Rossi goes on a Yam (quite well, I suspect).
:buggerd:

jrandom
23rd January 2004, 10:23
Sepang this weekend...

Yup, that new Kwak seems to have surprised people at practice, it'll be nice if we get something other than RCVs up front this year. Of course, it looks like we'll have to make do with reading about it on the race result websites after the fact.

If Kawa can somehow tie the new bike to the ZX-10R in people's minds it should wonders for sales. A little more difficult for Honda to relate the RCV to the CBRs, given the whole V5 thing.

Although I suspect that the 'win on Sunday, sell on Monday' rule applies less to bikes than cars, since sprotbike riders seem to be well-informed as a rule. Witness the deserved on-road prevalance of the GSXR1000 in spite of Suzuki's dismal GP performance.

Just got this reply:

Good Morning Kirk,


Thank you for your email and comments.

Once a contract for a sport has expired SKy puts in a bid for the continuation of rights.

Unfortunately our bid was not accepted by the distributor this year and they were unwilling to negotiate a price.

While we would love to continue showing the MotoGP, the asking price was prohibitive and since we don't have an unlimited budget we were unable to secure rights for this seasons races.

We will continue to put in a bid each season hoping to secure rights.

With regards to American Sport, this comes to us direct from ESPN International, and a deal is done for the whole channel, which at present includes the THQ and AMA series) not separate events. This does give us the opportunity to try a secure rights for other sporting events to which they are not rights holders, such as the Superbikes.

As with the MotoGP we have tried to bid for the Snooker World Championships however last year there was no overseas coverage given to this event. There are many sports and events that we put in bids for but are unsuccessful.



We will continue to put in a bid each season hoping to secure rights.

Unfortunately, no-one. Not in NZ. It is just that Sky's bid failed to meet the price some European countries can pay. The wankers who run the show would rather not make a sale than make one at a lower price (scared the others will get a whiff of it and refuse to pay so much). Eventually they will crap in their own nest, though, and no-one will accept their high demands. That's how TVNZ got to have F1 live coverage.

I have spoken with the ONE Sport team with regard to your enquiry. The Moto GP will be screened within Shell Helix Motorsport on TV ONE. As the times and dates for this screening have not yet been released to the TV Guide and the Listener, we are unable to confirm exactly when this event will screen. I suggest that you keep an eye on your television listings for upcoming programming.

As TVNZ embraces its public service mandate, it is increasingly important that we pay attention to what our viewers are saying. Your comments are an important part of this process, and I thank you for taking the time to contact us with your feedback.

You may care to express your appreciation for this coverage with perhaps encouragement for TVNZ to provide more that just the token of coverage that we have received in the past.

Sky are scumbags, but at least they are honest about ripping you off.

Wut u must take note of is that the coverage on TV1 shell helix motorsport is only going to b highlights most likely so you wont get the full coverage that you want, but at least you will be able to keep up with the series.

Also has anyone noted that whenever you have to deal with industries about certain issues that the persons name is always odd or funny like in this case JILL DICKEN, or from blockbuster for being sued over 10min of hardcore porn at the end of a PG movie the representative was RANDY HARGROVE heheheh it is jus odd where do they get these ppl :D

To watch MotoGP via internet you have to run a bandwidth test to see if you can setup a reliable enough connection to the moto gp servers.
Cost is 30 Euros for 2004 season subscription (till 08/11/04)..


You should be able to watch it if the bandwidth is good.
You can also record the events to either download to your Laptop or for onto VCDs/DVDs to play on a DVD player..
