Please sign my Network Ten's Motor Racing TV coverage Petition

Looks like I am seeing double, time to take my pills again.

I don't like Ten's coverage but that list requires a 24 hour dedicated sports channel

I'll be happy with Live F1 races and if they can't then they should allow another station to carry it

I doubt Channel 10 care that much but in any case, you have to be reasonable with what you are asking.

Asking them for live coverage of the race would attract more people to sign.

But as we all know, these people are driven by ratings and the Sunday night movie or NCIS or whatever is on next year attracts more audience and thus more $$$.
How many great programs particularly Aussie ones got axed because of the ratings.

Why not make a petition to Bernie Ecclestone, he's the one who awards the contracts and he should dictate that the races should be shown live.

And just a reminder that there was a web site in the past against Channel 9 and they did nothing!

That's my opinion anyway.

I have started a new petition because my other petition wasn't getting enough signatures.

Please sign my new petition

Anyone that signed my old petition will obviously have to sign again (If you agree with what I am saying in my new one) because it is a new petition.

That sounds more reasonable

I like your idea and totally agree with your petition
But might I suggest that if channel ten get 100 or 1000 complaints on your petition they will probally just "take note" that there are some unhappy punters out there in viewing land.
But if channel 7 or 9 got 100 people ringing them saying they are really unhappy with the coverage on 10 and a few letters started appearing in national newspapers stating that they (10) have not lived up to their promises, well that might just create a bit more action. Inter channel rivally is what makes things happen.

Good point Lloyd!
