Support for WRC+ was the only reason we bought a Fire TV box rather than Roku or Apple TV back in 2016.

The WRC+ app is a piece of shit (actual human shit) and the programmers should be shot, but...

I had the same issue in Chrome a while back and this fixed it.

Shakedown is being streamed on All Live (for once).

I'm very curious who Ciesla will allow to do the Spanish commentary. The current Spanish-language commentary on movistar+ is exceptionally good (i.e., not a bunch of press office bullshit). It's...

The idea that 85 euros per year from MAYBE 5-10,000 subscribers worldwide makes an actual difference to the WRC Promoter's budget...

I'm sure many of you work or have worked for a medium-sized...

I must say the last day of coverage was much improved. Just the right mix of insightful commentary and off-the-cuff badinage. The Media Zone interviews were clearly live, which was great to see. The...

The media zone segments were SO much better earlier in the season. Molly and Julian running around all those people, pushing other journos out of the way to get a LIVE comment from a driver, it was...

On a positive note about the coverage, Abi Stephens is a gem of a lead presenter. Molly is great alongside her. Julian too.


Come to think of it, is there any other sport with two female...

Why the hell are we seeing a rotating map and not analysis from the studio, a prerecorded interview, WRC2 coverage, highlights from earlier in the rally, older editions of rally Spain, live stream...

I always felt Rally Radio was 90% grating, banal (i.e. Becs Williams) banter followed by noise as we tried to hear what the driver was saying at stage end. "Oh, I think we lost Colin there,...

Right now I would be happy if the stream even worked. Was anyone in the world actually able to see the coverage of first stage?

What a bunch of muppets.

For those who missed it:

At times like this, I love Julian Porter.

This Pierre Budar interview is TV magic.

Pretty good Preview Magazine this time around. It was actually enjoyable to spend a few minutes recapping the previous rally.

One issue, however: the deaf guy is back in charge of the sound mix...

Perhaps stage times (I'd prefer current stage leader time + deltas) on the left, split times on the right, and current rally leader time + deltas in a scrolling marquee along the bottom, as they do...

Thoughts on Rally Sardinia coverage:

1. Abi Stephens is the one to keep as main presenter. I was really big on Kiri Bloore, because she was just so much more capable than almost everyone else,...

All Live feed is dickered for everyone else too, right?

Ed: aaaand we're back.

One or two months ago they had the excellent idea of playing a classic rally from the archives during these 1hr+ breaks. They should do that every rally. The fans would all love to see a Portuguese...

Her speech is slightly annoying, but I have to admit she's actually a very good host. She's sharp, incisive, and unlike Bloore, she doesn't stammer as the director is yapping in her ear.

Ed: Also,...

Kiri Bloore and (increasingly) Jon Desborough are consistently good as hosts at the 'front desk'. I'm willing to give the new lady the benefit of the doubt although her lisp is slightly grating. But...

Seems reasonable, but if you get lucky and land someone as good as Bloore the first time out, abort the experiment! Draw up a contract immediately! But instead they bring in someone who was never...

Agreed, Kiri Bloore made everyone more professional. Alex, I'm sorry to say, just doesn't work at all as a lead presenter, and her low energy and seeming lack of interest drags everyone else down...

It was not working in Chrome. I went over to the FireTV (android), and it worked for about 10 minutes before the screen went black.

Now it says "+++Currently In Service+++", which I guess is...

What a turnaround from yesterday and this morning. Production improved in almost all areas in the afternoon.

Amazing how much bigger the rally feels when you're watching it stage by stage rather...
