Australian TV cover of international sport makes me angry
So the TV guide said that coverage of today's US F1 GP started at 3:45am. North American F1 always bites for the Australian timezone, but I dutifully set my alarm and get up. Often the F1 coverage starts up to 20 minutes later than scheduled, but F1 viewers here are used to that sort of abuse.
So here I am, 3:51am, and there is only 38/73 laps left.
11 cars are off the track already - and I missed it all.
Words cannot describe my frustration.
And why is the Wimbledon coverage delayed by so many hours?
Is SBS the only channel who understands the importance of sports that are not Rugby or AFL?
GAH!

Ten site was apparently correct
Margaret and I have taken to checking each other's VCR and DVD/r settings to make sure we catch the race and on Monday morning we too got up at 3:45. yourtv.com.au was definitely wrong but she says when she checked on Ten (retrospectively to be fair) it was right. Did they make some announcment suring the V8's? I didn't see all of the V8's because they had a dumb reverse grid race. Why do we have qualifying if we are going to have reverse grid races?
