In the last stage the all live is not working properly.Does anyone else faces the same problem?
In terms of presenters / analysts, Julian Ported is the best that WRC live have got. The guy is doing a fantastic job.
I'm hearing a lot of Latvala onboard on WRC radio right now, Otates 2; how's that live coverage looking?

Yep, said the same myself after Sweden. He's brilliant and his knowledge & passion for the sport is obvious. The studio segments are a lot worse when he's not on.Quote:

British presenter Abi Stephens has tweeted that she will soon be joining WRC Live team https://twitter.com/abistephens/stat...79956528402432
No idea about that one, but I still miss Kiri, the MC main presenter. She was great and gave credibility to the show. With Alex, the gang looks to be too relaxed, almost as if they are on vacations…not the ideal attitude on a world motorsport series broadcast.Quote:

Now they're changing the presenter again? Messy.
That's a shame, will give the new one the benefit of the doubt but Kiri was very professional as a moderator and while she was no expert and did some small mistakes it seemed to me she did her homework about WRC.
They are still figuring it out, hope it will improve. The biggest problem for me is they have a vary basic way of showing each care sequentially instead of having a director that shows the interesting parts. This makes the stages seem like a procession of each car going by and getting a time. The broadcast of each stage needs to tell a story, for example if Tanak gets some good splits, show him, he is pushing, then cut back to the guy in front of him, how is he doing and so on. This way instead of showing "Stage 7" where "12 cars went by and each got a time some good some bad an some driver had a spin but we didn't see it" it becomes "Stage 7 where Tanak pushed like hell to overtake Mikkelsen in the standings".
Bingo. Hit the nail on its head.Quote:

This is nice dream and hopefully we see that some day. Currently they just show what ever feed works most flawlessly. They can't cut for something they don't have. To be realistic they are probably never gonna cover those stages to have everything available live. WRC is too small sport to make it profitable.Quote:

First they should implement constant splits graphics. Then there's no need to have the splits open in a separate window or screen
I wonder if they are trialling a few people - to see who is most comfortable? Problem is, most of the best motorsport presenters are already doing other series, so you have to take a gamble on people who are either knowledgeable about the WRC, and/or comfortable in front of a camera as a lead presenter, whilst not being a WRC expert.Quote:

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 particularly good in WTCC and they give her two full rallies to get up to snuff. Meanwhile I'm sure Bloore is looking for work elsewhere...Quote:

I was thinking about this. Maybe it's the case that they're just getting presenters who are available at the time of different events, if they all have other commitments too? Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they are rotating presenters in and out on an event by event basis, because it's maybe cheaper for them rather than putting a proper contract down with the best presenter for the full season?Quote:

I hope she comes back as she deserves it, and im guessing she hasn't been binned off as I remember her retweeting during Sweden and Mexico about AllLive and the WRC in general. Doubt she'd be doing that if she was told she'd not be back. Here's hoping anyway.

Hello everyone, just want to address a number of questions that have been raised after the Motorsport Monday article. Yes, it’s more than just a rumour, WRC Live Radio in its current form will be changing after Rally Corsica.
I will explain more during our broadcast in Corsica of course. Every one of our listeners is important to us and we want to keep you fully informed. For 17 years I have been at the helm of WRC Live and it’s been an absolute pleasure.
WRC Live Radio will change form and will become an audio feed direct from All Live and will, as before remain a FREE audio stream.
Becs Williams:

Sorry, but that does not even sound good. Television, which All Live is, is a visual medium. If you do radio on TV, it's far from good. And radio from TV feed audio ...
What they should do is implement the stage end radio reports into All Live, where they do not have a crew or someone asking questions. It's like the picture in picture thing that has been mentioned for years.
I can see this being the start of the end of WRC Radio. The audio stream from the visual source will be poor and people wont put up with it.
Guess they want everyone on a pay version ie. WRC+ as soon as possible.
Honestly, after Kiri’s absence I started wonder how the people in charge of the WRC promotion look at us, rally fans. Maybe they consider us as a bunch of nerds or morons looking for some exotic motorsport entertainment and no appetite for serious information about the rallysport and its industry.Quote:

Because the product is still in beta phase, not a polish shelf ready productQuote:

Perhaps All Live has meant the audience for Rally Radio has fallen off a lot and thus not financially viable.
This is bad. Because unless they introduce the option of a no commentary option, we are going to have to suffer with the two commentators talking over every decent on-board, as Radio listeners are tuning in to the same feed :(
I've emailed WRC+ during every rally this year suggesting a Pure Sound option for ALL LIVE. I suggest others do the same.
