And whilst ITV took F1 coverage to another level the consistency of post race TV coverage needed greater depth and quality.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

Yes, of course up until 1996 when they lost the coverage to ITV, BBC's pre and post race coverage wasn't fantastic. In fact you'd never usually see any presenters on camera, they would normally just go straight to the world feed and Murray Walker saying "Welcome to a sunny Silverstone".
ITV stepped it up but they did introduce adverts during the race, and the awful awful studio at the track with Jim Rosenthal. It was certainly an attempt to try and have football style punditry in F1 where it just doesn't fit. It was much better when Rosenthal was given the boot and Steve Rider was brought in and they started presenting from the paddock, although PC Blundell left a lot to be desired.
Essentially the format the BBC and Sky are using at the moment is the one ITV finally established during the last few years of their coverage, but BBC and Sky put a lot more effort into it. But lets not forget all the times ITV showed the race, had an advert, 10 minutes of wrap up - with no official interviews and then went off to show a repeat of 60 Minute Makeover or something.Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

Here's the thing...Were these interviews primarily for the benefit of TV or the crowd at the circuit?
I can't see the German crowd at the next GP being too happy about interviews being conducted in English if it's the latter, and will all drivers be expected to be multilingual in future in case they're on the podium?Riccardo Patrese - 256GPs 1977-1993

You raise a good point however that now the interviewer is going to be known too, rather than just a disembodied voice.

ITV certainly raised the standard of coverage from the previous BBC era, and on their day they were fairly good. Their scheduling often let them down though, and the slightest delay (safety cars, poor weather) would see them scurry away almost as the chequered flag was waving. It was doubly bad on early evening races because heaven forbid they delay their precious soaps. Add to this their almost non-existent internet presence at the time and the total lack of red-button facilities, and the BBC had a fairly easy act to follow.
Much as we moaned about adverts, and much as we moan about subscriptions now, it's probably a good thing that the coverage occasionally switches channels as it forces all concerned to raise standards.Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u
Maybe the official coverage didnt make the most of the island and the rally and once again it was other creators who came up with some great footage. Tarmac is a contentious surface for some...
