Bugga .. not just the MotoGP but other good sports as well

[TheDemonLord]

The occassional MMA round was good to watch, as was the D1NZ (for lazy sunday afternoons)

[Gremlin]

Bugger :(

Even the mountain biking fillers were good watching.

[BigAl]

Also had some good stuff in Speedweek inc Aussie road racing.

Gutted :weep:

"In a statement the channel said that funding initially understood to be available upon launch had largely never materialised.

They had struggled to gain the necessary support from advertising agencies."

I could guess there might've been a few quiet words and briefcases handed about by organizations interested in seeing sommet sports channel fail....

[Swoop]

FUCK!!

Fuck, fuck fuckkety fuck!

That was the awesomest channel. Always something to tune into, from surfing to MotoGP (LIVE!).


Shit and crap!

Exactly - "advertise with them and kiss your spot with us goodbye"

I hope all you people alledging a big business conspiracy follow the same train of thought in the mh370 and 911 threads.... :)

Well what really happened is Mr Sommet thought all his buddies would be round with the BBq and booz eevery weekend and shouting the hooker tab for the lads.... but they were too busy at home watching motoGP on their big screens and didn't want to share the hookers paid for with the money saved by cancelling their sky subs... :)

Just like free hookers its good while it lasted... funny all the people talking about 'crowdfunding'.... why not pool with mates and just get sky setup etc...

[unstuck]

No mav tv or rallycross....:weep::weep::weep:

[puddytat]

Muthafukkars...

Seems like all the good free to view shit gets rodgered sooner or later....
Looks like its back to shitty slow speed mobile courtesy of Vodascam & trying to watch jerky torrents ....
I want to go postal.

[skippa1]

Wot a cunt.....they had some good shit on

[AllanB]

Fuck it. I refuse to pay Sky for sports TV. I had been enjoying the Moto again.

Weellll it would be a good thing, if MotoGP wasn't inferior to BSB. :shifty:
Seriously! just started watching BSB this year on a recommendation.

Awesome super bike racing by "real" guys. Guys that race a championship and work real jobs to help pay for it.
