No MotoGP On Sky !!!!!!

Posted: Mon 19 Jan 2004

Something terrible is about to befall New Zealand.....

No, Donna Awtere-Huata is not about to become the Minister of Finance.
No, Auckland\' s motorway system is not about to become a system of cycle paths.
It is MUCH worse than any of the above

SKY WILL NOT BE SHOWING THE 2004 MOTOGP SERIES !!!!!!!!!!!

It is unthinkable and unspeakable but I have just received confirmation that it is indeed the case.

Afternoon Bill,
Thank you for your email.

We were able to show the MotoGP over the last couple of seasons, through a contract that Telstra/Saturn had for the rights. Unfortunately their contracted has ended and we have no plans at present to purchase the rights.

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

Regards,
Jill Dicken,
Programming Liaison Officer.

OK. You can just sit there and take it - or you can write (politely !) to any, or all these addresses asking them to make MotoGPs happen on Sky.............
