T-M Wrote:Greenlight were not asked to film the MGP or S100 for the first time in 14 years. They don't sell DVD's or video's that is Duke Marketing.

They haven't made fortunes from filming the TT or MGP, they just cover costs. It's like a sort of CV that they can show around to prospective clients, and they actually did it for the love of the events as all the directors live on the island! They are an internationally renowned company and a credit to the Isle of Man.

I have no idea who put the blocks on filming the MGP and S100 though?

My apologies for my ignorance.

I always thought Greenlight was part of Duke video, probably because I remember about a decade ago chatting to a couple of freelance cameramen wearing "Greenlight TV" shirts who said they were filming the races for Duke video. I now stand corrected, sorry for my mistake.

The Manx Radio article stated that there was no coverage this year as the" deal between the Department of Tourism and Leisure and local TV production company Greenlight Television to shoot THIS year's events fell through", but it didn't give any further details why, other than what I reported in my original post.

Anyway, I just hope something gets sorted or all we'll be able to watch will be You Tube, which is ok for its genre but I'd rather have a dvd.

In the meantime, I promise not to confuse the two different companies in future - am I forgiven folks?
