WTH? Nice going DMG. No live coverage. Fewer classes (That suck) and they want more money?  [puke]

Well, yes, and that's the scary part.
Not that they're anything to write home about now.

Perhaps that's the best TV package they could get at whatever (late) time they signed up.

So we could have no coverage?

I had this discussion with my boss. No raises or bonuses this year. The good news is you still have a job!

Seems like DMG is being "run" like (many) other companies have been for the past few years....buy it, pimp it, sell it for a profit.  Operations, what's that?

The eco crash may have put an end to those plans.  Wonder if they'll qualify as a toxic asset?

                 Perhaps DMG is trying to suffocate Superbike Racing on a national level in order to

make more room for Crass Car Racing, and by design that would require lack of same day coverage

of Racing to prove, "lack of interest" from the motorcycling community.

Still works for me embedded on the forum.

Try changing the quality, or click on the "this video is no longer available".

Mat Mladin's twitter page links to the story.  He suggests that people read the comments too.  Actually, his tweets are pretty funny.   [laugh]
