2196.0. "TV / satellite listings anyone?" by WARNUT::ALLEN (It works better if you screw it in..) Thu Dec 16 1993 14:56

In the RACERS conference a note just appeared which is going to give TV listings
for times of motorsport schedules on US TV.

Does anyone get any decent listings for Euro satellite. All I ever seem to get,
even on their CeeFax is "Motorsport", a lot of which is pure c--p. The majority
of magazines are printed so far in advance that the schedules are worse than
useless and many dailys copy those.

Could they post it here, failing that, does anyone know of a reliable source of
information (I know reliable and Eurosport are mutally exclusive!) so that I can
at least stand a chance of taping what I want to see instead of underwater
blindfold archery or the world paint drying watching championships.

2196.1	What about MOTORING NEWS	AYOV20::WARREN	The man with no plan	`Fri Dec 17 1993 11:31`	7
	You could try the weekly paper called Motoring News. It lists the week's programs that concern "most" types of motorsport. As I dont have satellite tv, I cannot be certain as to the exactness of the program times that are listed, but it might be worth a thought. Warren
2196.2	Get the TV Guides out.	ERMTRD::CLIFFE	I'll warp my own space-time ...	`Fri May 06 1994 13:58`	26
	A bit late, but I've been rather busy this week. In the race program from Castle Combe last Monday, it listed the upcoming TV coverage. It is all from Best of British Motorsport meetings. Look in TV guides for exact times. ITV ( Meridian,LWT,Ulster,West Country,Channel) May 7 , 14 , 21 , 28 Also coverage in Sport AM, Monady nights all regions Eurosport May 6 , 20 , 27 , Jun 3 , 6 , 17 , 24 NBC Super Channel May 7 , 14 , 21 , 28 All the items to be shown are listed - to much to put in just now - but I'll try and get them in next week. eg ITV May 7 - F3 round 5/6 , Rover Turbo round 3 , Sports GT challenge round 3 (Silverstone)
2196.3	Here's one for you Mike....	AIMTEC::BURDEN_D	A bear in his natural habitat	`Fri Dec 16 1994 17:21`	21
	Newsgroups: rec.autos.sport.info Subject: TV: Scandinavian rally/rallycross coverage To all Scandinavian Rally-freaks: The 'Swedish/Nordic' sat.channel 'TV4' , will be reporting from the ERCC rallycross events in Arvika 28th April 1995 and from the SRCC rallycross finals in Kinnekulle in September 1995. About 50 minutes of reporting each. (Pro)Rally-SRC 1995 will be covered and avaliable in the 12 minute breaks at the Swedish Hockey Games, Hockey AND Rally at the same time, beginning 10-12 February. Agenda: Kolsva SM-rally, South Swedish Rally, SAPA rally, Haessleholm finals. Watch out for those TV-guides on 'TV4' next year. I 'sourced' this info from IB no.24, Dec.8 1994. Maybe your sat.disc can capture the show if you're close enough / Christer
2196.4		UNTADI::SAXBY	Something Olympian about him	`Wed Jul 19 1995 09:32`	23
	There was a short clip of Fangio doing a demo with his Ferrari/Lancia at Monaco (looked like the mid 60s) on Eurosport last night (as a homage to him as he died on Monday). Some glorious powerslides and him twirling the huge steering wheel like a fork-lift trucks! There've been some good programs about cars on Satellite TV recently. Discovery have been running a series called 'Classic Wheels'. Each program concentrated on a single car and described its history in some detail. Some of the cars covered were the Ford GT40, Porsche 911, Corvette and Jaguar E-Type. Discovery are also advertising a program called 'Driving Passions' (I think) for a start in August and it seems to be concentrating (from the trailers) on supercars and be fronted (or maybe its more of an editorial interest?) by some bloke from the UK's Autocar & Motor magazine. Probably worth a look as an alternative (supplement) to Top Gear. Mark
