You might remember the start of the MotoGP season in Qatar, and fact that qualifying and the support races weren’t available on Freeview. Masters Golf took priority, even though it was on BBC Two at the same time. Certainly I remember. I even got a response on the matter from the BBC. But this weekend, with the German Grand Prix from Sachsenring, the BBC might have learned its lesson. MotoGP is up against Open Golf, in competition for that precious single Freeview BBC Red Button stream. And MotoGP wins! Mainly. Admittedly, it might be because the golf is on virtually uninterrupted all day Saturday and Sunday, between BBC One and Two. Nevertheless, the good news is that the words “Not available on Freeview” on the Red Button schedule don’t appear alongside MotoGP – apart from Sunday’s post-race extra half hour. But that’s okay: we can live without that, can’t we? The important thing is that Freeview gets qualifying on Saturday 1150-1505, and the 125cc and Moto2 races on Sunday 0950-1205, all on the Red Button. And of course the main coverage on BBC Two 1245-1400. That’s more like it! Post a comment
