Wednesday, January 12, 2011
Australia's longest running live motorsport show, In Pit Lane, will return in 2011 after confirmation of a new series beginning March 8 on Melbourne's C31. The show which began on cable TV in 1996 celebrates its 15th year on air and continues to provide Australia's most diverse motorsport and motoring news and views. The show which is produced by RMITV Student Television also serves as a valuable training ground for the next generation of Television Industry professionals. Many In Pit Lane alumni have moved on to work in the local and International TV and Film Industry. In Pit Lane host and producer Brett Ramsey said he was delighted that the show had again been renewed. "It's a long time on air but it honestly feels like we only started yesterday." he said. Brett said that the task of securing sponsors for the show had now begun and of course that is never easy. "Every year has been a massive struggle, and while you'd like to think it would get easier with each passing year it just gets harder and harder." The transition to Digital TV has been a huge challenge and one that has left the show in serious financial trouble. "Overnight all of our existing equipment became redundant." Brett said. " Our 10 year old camera is dead and we can't even play back HD content let alone edit it."

Tuesday, January 4, 2011
The American Le Mans Series have announced a new, multi-year broadcast and digital agreement that will end live television broadcast coverage of their events. ALMS President/CEO Scott Atherton said that the new deal with ABC/ESPN was “a game changer.” however many fans are angry that live event coverage will only be available on-line and in the United States. The new broadcast and digital package will see only delayed television coverage either on ABC or ESPN2. ABC will feature race telecast coverage on March 20 after the 59th running of the prestigious Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring with remaining ABC broadcasts featuring Road America (August), Baltimore (September) and the season-ending Petit Le Mans (October). ESPN2 will feature the American Le Mans Series in delayed two-hour telecasts from Long Beach (April), Lime Rock and Mosport (July), Mid-Ohio (August) and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (September). All four ABC race telecasts will receive an encore airing on ESPN2 as part of the new agreement. In a U.S. motorsports first, all ALMS races will be carried ‘live’ in their entirety and fully produced on ESPN3.com, ESPN’s signature broadband sports network. The network is currently available in more than 65 million households nationwide in the U.S. at no additional cost to users who receive their Internet connection or cable TV video subscription from an affiliated provider. Customers of an affiliated service provider will also be able to watch the Series live via an ESPN3.com pop-off player on americanlemans.com and Xbox LIVE Gold. This restriction means no coverage for many U.S homes and no live International coverage as ESPN3 is only available in the United States.
