Motogp Pre-empted Today

[Netfan]

Where to begin? I guess anyone who wanted to watch MotoGP today already knows the brainchildren at Truevisons have pre-empted it with 9-ball. Now, i like watching 9-ball, but to pre-empt another program thats been advertised on air and listed in the magazine? And no on-screen announcement about regular programming to follow? I guess i really cant expect anything else from the #$@& %$@&%^'S at Truevisions. I called customer service and got a lovely woman who just couldnt understand the big deal. She said "just watch pool, its good, too". i've counted to ten, taken deep breaths....and sent them an email telling them i will deduct the big 30 baht for one days service (now that should really scare them).....

Okay, that's my rant.

What channel?

It was to be covered live at 16:00 Sunday on Star Sports D66. I sat myself down with a beer ready for 4 hours of entertainment only to be confronted with f#^ken 9 ball until 21 laps to go in the main event - 3/4 hour. I guess all the bloody repeats will have 3 and 1/4 hours of 9 ball as well.

If it was Star Sports than you shouldn't be blaming True, but Star Sports. True doesn't control Star Sports programming. Think about it a bit.

I don't know if this was pointed at me but I certainly feel the fault was with Star Sports. At the very least I would have thought that TrueVisions or one of the other networks that subscribe to Star would have contacted them about the programming. --- Maybe someone did hense the sudden switch toward the 3 and 1/4 hour mark.
