To take a positive, at least the British Speedway & SGP rights are on the same channel, even if it has gone up to £30.99 p/m. Imagine if British Speedway was on Sky and SGP on TNT, that'd be nearly a £50 subscription fee! It's hard to see the SGP (SoN etc) being shown anywhere else as WBD own the staging and TV rights.

I think the SGP etc. will be available on one of the offshore on line streaming services as it has been for a number of years. Sometimes it’s in English but other times in Polish. As for u k league racing, this was occasionally available on one particular non u k based streaming service. The question is just how many people are willing to stump up any money to watch the sport on T V given the price rises elsewhere with council tax, water rates gas and electric all rising and forthcoming changes/increases to VED. Monetary pressures all round so probably not a good time expect the average punter to stump up cash particularly giving how fickle the riders are when it comes to the weather with the likelihood of a meeting being called off. Probably best if possible to put money into track visits and the odd BSN meeting.

No I am not. I'm suggesting that by not showing any league racing they would save the broadcast cost and satellite hire costs.  The final rights payment was made some time ago.

Not sure about this year but previous seasons their has been a contribution from BSPL to the production costs for the season as the sport needs tv coverage to attract sponsorship for clubs and riders .

Where this money came from not 100% sure got told by one person it was out of the Rowe deal along with club contribution
