Lvereage behind the scenes. Yesterday's revelations showed how much influence the Murdochs have been trying to exercise.

How many times can a thread about a specific F1 race turn into a policital tosh fest. There is a Lounge for general chat.

Interesting editorial about Bahrain in this month's Motorsport magzine - which dropped through my letter box today.

Why would Sky want BC news/Sport to move to Salford ?
That was imposed by the previous government. One of the reasons is they save money by selling property in London and then don't have to pay maintenance on them.
The other was to diversify, so that they produce media/TV etc outside of London.
If you want to get really mad about it go check up the cost increase for covering Wimbledon - renting property, drivers& cars to ferry people bac and forth, hotel rooms etc etc. I saw a estimate of > £3m a while back.

They didn't - they were simply the beneficiaries of a move by Labour to buy votes that cost the BBC around a £billion - more than enough to have seen them to the end of their F1 contract at least. The absurdity of this is incredible. The year the biggest and most prestigious sporting event in the world comes to London when everybody who is anybody is in town and BBC Sport is sat 250 miles north......or paying a shed load of money to many people to relocate temporarily, back south who just a year ago had moved north. The only organisation to benefit (apart from Sky) is Virgin Trains.

That is true, but long term the BBC are better in the middle of the UK. The Olymics will be over by mid-July, and if the UK gets it again it won't be 1) In the next few decades or 2) In London......... They are the broadcaster of news, sport and entertainment to Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales as well as England, and really need to be centrally based. It also brings some wealth and investment to an area outside of London, as Manchester has a strong creative industry that will benefit from this move.
