****ing up the NASCAR broadcast on 1 October
On Sunday 1 October the NASCAR Sprint Cup race was only scheduled from 20h30 to 23h00. Firstly the race was scheduled on Supersport 6, just for me to discover that there is rugby repeats on Supersport 6, and that it moved to Supersport 8, with the race well underway already(on lap 40 to be precise).
Secondly usually the broadcasts are scheduled for only 2 and a half to 3 hours, but the races are generally longer, and the broadcast usually keeps on until the end. Last night, still with 100 laps remaining, the broadcast was just stopped and switched to swimming. All the other channels had highlights on of some other sport. Infact, the same cricket highlights was broadcast on both Supersport 2 and 10. How the **** does that work? Now I do not have a ****ing clue what happened in the NASCAR, due to you deeming certain sports more important than motorsport.
How long is this still going to continue?
14 August 2016 the Moto GP was cut off with 3 laps left 25 June 2017 the Formula One podium was cut off and moved to another channel without notice. 27 August 2017 the Formula One broadcast was cut prematurely in order to show rugby highlights 27 August 2017 the Moto GP broadcast was cut for more than half of the race
And now this? What the ****? Why do I have to pay a ****load of money every month to enjoy my motorsport, and then you **** it over with giving priority to other more important sport's highlights? I may be South African, but motorsport is by far my preferred sport over any other "traditional" South African sports. You even took away IndyCar from the start of 2017, something which I still battle to understand.
Anyway, I hope that in the future the motorsport broadcasts will be able to continue uninterrupted, otherwise I can just as well cancel my DStv and make use of other means in order to watch motorsport. My R800 is just as much worth as all the other sport enthusiast's money
