Portuguese GP broadcast F&$K UP!!!

I am SO on the dge. it's 1:06am, an dI am sitting here, having watched the first 5 minutes of the motoGP race, to find that the wonderful free to air Broadcaster that is Channel 10 have decided to run, not once, but twice a re cap/hi lights clip of rounds one and two, along with some fancy riding clips in between. I can't believe, trying to watch a farking race, and they waste 20 minutes of my sleep time ( and counting with bullshite!! ARGH!!!!!!! I've tried calling, but of course, no one answers the phones at 1am, and I just decided ot **** them off and just check the results on line. Shame, looked like it was shaping up to be an awesome race. Worst par tis, I have cable, but due to sunday work commitmets, can't watch the race live, but seeing as free to air usually starts it's telecast about 5 minutes befor eI get home, I don't tape it... of vourse now, that will change. Bastards... Bet this would never happen with those stupid car races...

Z...

SPEED channel has apparently decided to not broadcast the race so I can instead watch a bunch of redneck mechanics prep Nascar vehicles for a race. WTF is up with that ****?!

How long are these stupid nascar updates? I guess the AMA races are not going to show pre-race stuff?

Well, that's not too bad. At least we can still watch the race. I hate when races get pre-empted for unscheduled bulls**t, especially for nascrap.

Re: Portuguese GP broadcast F&$K UP!!!

Okay, so I settle down to watch the AMA Superbike Race 2 and WSBK Races 1 and 2. (I missed MotoGP because I went on a 300 mile ride.) I got REALLY pissed off when they were showing the AMA Race 2 "Live" when they broke in with NASCAR pre-race coverage. Don't they know that even rednecks check the listings? Why would they expect NASCAR coverage when there's clearly 5 hours of motorcycle racing. It pisses me off when they break into live racing to cover crap that doesn't even matter. SPEED SUCKS. PERIOD. Yeah, I know, I'm lucky to even get to see motorcycle racing. But why can't they stick to their damn programming schedule?!

Re: Portuguese GP broadcast F&$K UP!!!

I thought I must have nodded off and started dreaming when bloody channel 10 started that crap , especially the second time they showed it. it's not bad enought that it started half an hour late due to australian idol running late but then they stick an extra 20 minutes of stuff they could have shown at the end, I had to go to work with 4.5 hrs sleep had a hectic 12 hour day and was bloody tired



sorry I feel better now
