As i am now working at Sky TV i have had a meeting today with the CEO and have talked to him about getting Speedway on Sky sport. But i need to get some figures together.
If i can push speedway into peoples faces, would we get more sponsors?
The more feedback the better.

Good idea Matthew, i always said that even just a Motorsport dedicated channel would be a great money spinner for Sky.

Its good to see some positive feedback, please encourage all members to vote as i need these figures to back me up.
Anybody with a bussiness that would sponsor more if we got tv coverage, please let me know, i need to know what sort of interest we have.

totally agree with murdoch we are a country with alot of petrol heads from all forms on land and water, so a dedicated motorsport channel would be great

As someone who has always refused to pay to watch TV (Sky) Speedway is the only thing that would tempt me to part with any hard earned cash.

Be great we had problems before though when sky was doing it we all paid a one of fee with our licenses ( about $ 40 or $ 50 each) but than after a season SNZ and Sky could not come to terms we ( rather SNZ )
had to pay a ridiculous sum to continue TV coverage.

one thing i am super curious about is the two ( so far) who voted that they wouldnt watch speedway on tv and there reasoning.
im sure that would be more valuable to devil to know why people wouldnt watch it, and enable perhaps for those issues to be addressed.
bizzarely, sky seem happy to broadcast obscure sports that perhaps would not attract a lot of veiwers, and yet speedway is one of nz,s premier spectator sports and there is very little of it.
im sure the attendance figures nationally would back that up.

Your right Buster, id be interested to know the reasoning as its just as important. Getting figures is what its all about at the moment. Mr CEO has said the main thing isnt ratings but whos paying to back it. This is where im hoping, more tv coverage, more sponsorship money to keep it going. Im plannig to push this till i drop. I believe its what the sport needs. Beady, tut-tut, shame on you not having Sky, we need to talk. |

What you gunna do when Tv is switched from analouge to digital and without satalite dishes you wont be able to watch tv, its coming, sooner then people think. |

it would be the best thing for the sport as a whole in these economic times...
more coverage will mean more business's may be interested to sponsor your car if they know there could be an opportunity to get their branding on tv...so its a win win...
would be good to see sky with dedicated channels like the rugby channel..
rugby channel
tennis and golf combined channel
motorsport channel
and various others channel incl leage...
you could even have the various sports channel a free channel with your sky package and have the others as an extra charge channel..
