RasputinLives, he came back home due to a family emergency.

Anyone know why I had to watch the race on my computer? Oh, right, it was supposed to be on NBC but they were showing local traffic and weather before the Indy 500. Thanks for that.

 

[Bill Boddy]

Do Sky show adverts during the Free Practice sessions? I was watching two of these elsewhere and as far as I know these were genuine Sky feeds complete with adverts. If not someone was being naughty and not telling me.

 

[Porceliamone]

Yes, there are adverts during the free practice sessions on Sky.

 

[Bill Boddy]

So you pay loads of money to watch adverts. Sounds like a good idea to Sky.

ITV Player now charges for most of their programmes now, both they and their freebies have adverts that you cannot fast forward through. Some (most?) of their adverts are interactive as well, whatever that means.

 

[RasputinLives]

Yeah but they only do it in free practice and thats dull anyways.

 

[Bill Boddy]

Imo Free Practice sessions are usually quite interesting. Or were until F1.com started using coloured dots instead of times.

 

[Bill Boddy]

Yeah but they only do it in free practice and thats dull anyways.

Once the BBC contract finishes Sky will have free reign over what they show so do not be surprised if that includes ads during the race.

 

[RasputinLives]

Can't see it happening. They show enough on the channel for the rest of the time.

They don't do it on Football and the rest of their sports and I think the lesson will be learnt from ITV.

Since Sky got the contract for every race I have watched the every race on Sky bar one when I was forced into watching it on BBC..... it was terrible, just terrible.

 

[RasputinLives]

Sky do appear to be light years ahead of the beeb since they took over.

The BBC seem like they are not trying and don't care.

 

[Road of Bones]

Once the Beeb's contract expires, what will happen to EeJay and Crazy Davey C? I have a feeling Sky will acquire 2 more pundits...

 

[Greenlantern101]

I will cancel my subscription if EJ ends up on SKY.

 

[mjo]

He's not that bad, he just has trouble asking and answering questions, sometimes strange predictions and outlandish shirts. Plus he did break the Hamilton story in 2012...

 

[Slyboogy]

I would prefer Eddie Jordan to Johnny Herbert, the latter is just so terrible that you can put in a casual fan in his place.

 

[teabagyokel]

He's not that bad, he just has trouble asking and answering questions, sometimes strange predictions and outlandish shirts.

...which would be OK if his job wasn't asking and answering questions, making predictions and not looking like a complete tit.

 

[Jen]

I like complete tits!

 

[Bill Boddy]

There is simply no answer to that.

 

[Greenlantern101]

This sounds interesting. As long as the word 'forage' was meant to say 'footage' that is.
