clarksons stuff is 3 or more year old repeats. Even the germans get to see later series then we do. plus other stuff what do they ever bring 3 secounds of each motor gp. waste of time even when they show something.

And dont get me started on Sky TV ohhwwwwww it makes me so angry!American football(even there f*cking collage stuff), Darts(i mean Darts! thats what you play when your pissed at the pub), Pool/Billiards(again pub only game) and Basket ball what the hell no one even likes that rubbish in NZ an its allways on! Then the rest is filled with stupid Rugby, Soccer, Tennis, Golf and Cycling and you have to pick through day after day to just to find a repeat of some racing from 3 months ago.

Disagree about basketball. At least it is an all action game - on TV - and is certainly popular around here. Cycling never televises well and gets little coverage in the print media, ditto Pool.
Unfortunately, rugby appears to take a disproportionate amount of both TV and print coverage and so does horse racing.It does have its followers, (it is the NZ national sport) but not to the extent that it should totally dominate 80% of all media coverage. Incidentally, just check out the magazines most places stock.I would guess that of those aimed at men, almost 50% are related to wheels.

I would say we are far from ok if you actualy watch sky a bit you will know exactly what I mean! channle flicking for days just to get an hour here and there. NASCAR is like watching paint dry sorry and oval track Indycar isint far away from that either and if I want exciting circle racing I will look for speedway! We need a motorsport only channel! theres way more than enough to make one but sure it would be alot easyer said than done but still.
