Tis true, Steve Parish was talking about it on the beeb web site. No more BBC coverage. A real a shame. Think BBC coverage and production of sports is fantastic, so will be missed.
Yep true this I for one won't be paying to watch it figure quoted to watch on sky is £12 a month don't think so
Just been looking into this. It's available on Sky at an extra cost of £12 p/m If you have BT Broadband it's free. I've done my sums and for me it's worth switching my phone and broadband provider to BT to get the BT Sport and ESPN channels. I've got to say though, competition in the TV market doesn't seem to work in favour of the consumers. It seems to get more complicated and expensive every year.
Yep - its an "exclusive" deal with BT. Whether that means the live races or all rights to highlights etc afterwards is not clear...
Yep BT Sport have a totally exclusive deal. Hope Moody and Ryder et al move over to BT. Won't be the same without them.
Bit daft then really, how they expect to increase a minority sports coverage with an exclusive deal as such is beyond me.... And there I was thinking Suzuki are coming back because the green shoots were coming through and it's becoming slightly commercially viable. It'll be the CRT cup before we know it ;(
BT sport is free for a yr........ with their broadband ? or have I misheard it........ ??? So free from now........... we wont see the full season unless we cough up summat ?

Hoping it stays as it is now with Eurosport showing the race after it's been run. Not sure it's good enough to pay for at the moment. Hope they don't mess with BSB
TBH I'm usually doing sumat with the Family or out on the Blade if the weathers fine at the times MOTO GP is on so I invariably see it on a repeat mostly anyway.
BT have exclusive rights - that means nobody else can show it at all - not even after its happened. Sorry to dash your hopes.
