I do wonder if the bbc will still make the show
They made it for ITV
RE: Formula 1 - HannahsPet - 22-12-2015 05:53
Seeing the bbc is cutting wonder if they will be sending a small team to the Rio Olympics instead of the usual thousands
RE: Formula 1 - ShandyHand - 22-12-2015 10:35
^ Oh, undoubtedly the beeb will be forced to send less to Rio than they have to Olympics in the past.

Top Gear itself will probably have to cut costs as a result of losing the cash cow trio (maybe one of the kinder reasons why Evans reportedly wants to be solo presenter) but if you are implying that the loss of F1 is down to that then i think you are barking up the wrong tree.
The £150 million deficit the BBC are trying to make up for has been known publicly since at least June (and presumably internally for sometime before that). The Clarkson thing was March - hardly anytime for any knock on effects to have added to this burden.
No the financial shortfall that has led to the beeb offloading so much sport, BBC3 and other things is down to the licence fee being frozen over the past seven years, and less people opting to watch their channels and therefore pay for the licence.
Doubling the size of the problem was the politicial angle, as the government looks to curtail the beeb's scope and reach. The Tories lumbered them with paying for the over 75s licences in an effort to cut their own costs and appease their mates in big business who can't make any money from the net whilst the Beeb flood the web with high quality free news.
I just wonder what other things were orchestrated at these and other meetings like them:

There are many things wrong with an overly bloated BBC but by the time this government has finished with them they will be unrecognisable from how they are now IMO. They UK airways will never be the same again and that'd be a cying shame.

you sure http://money.cnn.com/2015/03/11/media/top-gear-facts-jeremy-clarkson/
estimates that top gear was worth £150 million a year to them and suddenly in June 150 million defecit thats a huge Coincidence !!!
what gets me BBC had some good brands like Top Gear, Doctor who, and shows like Luther and Sherlock and seem to sell a lot of tv around the world yet they still need to be subsidised to the amount they are.
annoys me that the only Uk based site in the top 100 websites is the BBC online
RE: Formula 1 - ShandyHand - 22-12-2015 13:36
An Evans TG would have to a zero commercial value to the BBC for there still to be £150 deficit by your reasoning. Hardly likely I think you'll agree.
The reasons for the deficit have been widely reported. Figures look like a coincidence to me. This article outlines the BBC's expected response: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34851369
As it says, there is another £550m to find in the next few years (largely the huge cost of providing the over 75s licences - reportedly £631m and rising). I'm sure the TG thing will add to that figure.
Unfortunately its its subsidies that enable beeb to establish so many succesful brands in the first place. Have a look at the much lauded HBO's schedules in the States and see the miniscule amount of original programming they manage to provide. This is the model many want the BBC to follow.
Don't see how you can blame the lack of succesful UK websites on the BBC though.

And they will still be getting income from the old shows for years to come, albeit in ever decreasing amounts.
RE: Formula 1 - HannahsPet - 22-12-2015 14:35
Hence why BBC2 having 2 nights of an A-Z of Top Gear starting boxing night.
im Just saying that they lost a money making machine. there will be some residual value to Top gear depends what a mess Chris evan makes of it.
They have already lost a years revenue as the new top gear isnt out till least march. they missed out of the revenue from that arena tour and there isnt much top gear merchandising around this christmas and definately no DVD which was a money maker
Anyway last post as this thread is about formula one not top gear lets agree to disagree
RE: Formula 1 - Charlemagne - 19-03-2016 06:59
There's not much change to the stat of the new session..
For the Australian GP Qualifiying, Hamilton is on pole, followed by Rosberg with Vettel in third place.
This is the 50th time that Hamilton has qualified on pole position
