Where have you read or officially heard that information? There's not been a titbit of official information to state otherwise. One would reasonably expect an official announcement, alas they have left stuff all MEDIA Mediums to do so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idolmite 2,451 Report post Posted May 21, 2020 I've seen or heard nothing about the frequencies departing Mediaworks ownership. Doesn't mean they haven't, but I'd think they'd still be with the original owner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

meomy 971 Report post Posted May 22, 2020 13 hours ago, Charlie Bukowski said: Won't happen Why do you say that? There's absolutely no reasonable excuse to not be revising & reversing the decisions they made with various Covid19 levels we have had thrust in our lives in an arbitrary manner. Indeed it's a legal requirement to return society to how it was expeditiously to how it was prior to any infectious disease outbreak. RITA have legal obligations just like the Government & Director of Health does. - Have a read of related legislation & WHO spirit & intent as to why they exist & their obligations to.

Everton 150 Report post Posted May 23, 2020 What I just don't get is none of them have the balls to just tell us what's going on either way with any bloody thing. They probably have no idea, but surely they could present a few scenarios, no one expects miracles .. be nice if they thought about their customers. This is not new, Covid has just brought it to the surface. 3 basics of any business dealing with customers ... honesty, respect, communication. How many of those 3 can we tick off from the TAB over the years ?? nomates, ADM and meomy 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meomy 971 Report post Posted May 27, 2020 Meanwhile in the UK Racing is all set to have a smooth return in the UK with the Racing Post publication and other media coverage for the 1st of June. Wake up those who are making the silly short sighted decisions here in New Zealand. There's been no reason whatsoever to have stopped or suspended Radio Trackside & Trackside TV. Now how much was that Grass Valley contract worth that was supposed to ensure continuity of Racing?

mikenz 1,070 Report post Posted May 30, 2020 Trackside radio is a simulcast of trackside 2,a race on now at ascot park has a 5000 win pool meanwhile a race from caulfield on 1 with no radio coverage has a 60000 win pool,sure you can watch it but gee poor radio coverage in my reckoning,anyway hopefully one day when they get going they may address the issue.
