wicka posted:On my flight back from Singapore, there was a six-hour stopover in Dubai. This is fine. The Emirates lounges in Dubai are exceptional, although they do not compare to the Turkish Airlines lounge in Istanbul, which is amazing. The only problem in Istanbul is that you might end up with someone blowing the place up when you are sipping your Chardonnay…

Thinking about it, the funniest part of this is that Brundle has been saying stuff like "Bernie will be hard to replace" "this empire that bernie has built up" and so on, only for the Americans to turn round and go "is this it? is this all there is? 17 sponsors for a global sport? Only 21 races? No gambling deals, no online deals? What a gosh darn amateur"

learnincurve posted:So that's what? One week Bernie lasted? I for one welcome our new overlord, Greg. That sounds like they're saying "Hey we could grow revenue by allowing people to give us money to watch the sport!" Which sounds obvious but was a concept way beyond Bernie/the CVC's grasp. I'm cautiously optimistic. It sounds like we've replaced a group of old, greedy, immoral white men with a slightly younger group of greedy, immoral white men who understand the internet is a good way to broadcast poo poo.

quote:"I think there's an opportunity to grow that broadcast stream. Much of it comes from moving potentially from free-to-air to competitive pay services, that's for example what happened in the UK, when BSkyB recently bought the rights." Don't have cable? gently caress you. Also: quote:Something that intersects all of these is less than 1 percent of the revenues are from digital, they really have no organised digital effort. I think there are lot of things that can be done around gaming, VR [Virtual Reality] and AR [Augmented Reality].

Yeah my first thought is that races in like Baku and Bahrain will disappear when Bernie does because I doubt the American dudes will come out and start poo poo talking democracy or something.

He mentions Miami as a possible race destination. loving Long Beach Grand Prix do it. The mention of gaming makes me wonder as well if they'd be more relaxed about licensing out the F1 brand to other games as well as having the official game.

Alain Post posted:21 Grands Prix is too many already. Only because teams can't afford to run several sets of equipment and set up crews. If you look at the big stadium bands they have at least 3 different full stage set ups. While the band is playing on one stage, the last one they were at is being taken down and the next one is being set up. Only gear that travels with the band is the favourite guitars. There is also some sort of logic to the tour and they don't bounce from continent to continent. Drivers can whine about having to actually work for their money all they like. It's the pit crew and logistics teams that have the nightmare situation of too many races not enough man hours right now.

Funzo posted:No mention of streaming or on-demand? He mentions direct to consumer video, whether that manifests as an actual online subscription service like WEC or MotoGP (both series' with pay TV deals so that isn't an insurmountable obstacle) or just a more relaxed attitude to posting race highlights on social media I don't know.

Finally my obsessive watching of all the backstage shenanigans is paying off and I know this one. The only people with any video/DVD/blu ray rights are the FIA who have the right to release a yearly season review. That's it. Seriously. I'm not joking. Ferarri are not even allowed to release F1 DVDs.

Baron Corbyn posted:It's so loving short sighted. How do they expect to draw in new fans to drive their sponsorship revenue up of all the races are on a special cable channel that only big fans are going to shell out for in the first place? TV rights money pays more than sponsorship, for one. and sponsors will be considering the amount of exposure they get on a global scale, not just in the UK. the couple hundred thousand TV viewers you lose by going from the BBC to sky isn't particularly relevant. and they're americans, so the concept of "we have to put this on free to air TV so everyone can watch it" simply doesn't exist in their heads. cable is the norm here.

Right now, US Channels and what they carry: Fox: First half of NASCAR, NHRA, IMSA, and WEC NBC: Second half of NASCAR, F1, most of Indy, and Red Bull Rallycross ABC: Selected Indy races (St Pete, both Indy GP and 500, and Belle Isle) CBS: PWC (could be wrong), Trans Am. Note that pretty much every race is on that network's specific sports channel, ABC and big NASCAR races not withstanding.

At some point the penny is going to drop and it's going to be more lucrative to sell the TV rights at a lesser value and retain the rights to a streaming service ala MLBtv, the issue is whether they actually realise that its the way forward.

This is the question, I can't imagine there's a single person who's subscribing to Sky Sports (the cheapest option for this is £47 a month) just for F1. People who do probably would want to listen to Sky's commentators (god knows why) over whoever FOM would get in to do the streaming feed commentary, if they got anyone at all.
