Unfortunately she blotted her copybook at the end of the F1 Forum by revealing the result of the MotoGP race - but very good apart from that!Quote:

Any of you guys complaining about BBC coverage should try Speed TV! If you want to simulate it then try turning off the TV for 3 - 4 mins every 2 or 3 laps - no exageration - to simulate the add breaks. To make it even more interesting try to time this with something exciting about to happen. Speed TVs dismal coverage is only made worse by the same adds over and over. The commentary team do there best though. I don't know if the UK had the same tv feed as the US but the first half of the race we spent watching the Japanese drivers ignoring the front runners. Fortunately Kobayashi provided some excitement, but Yamamoto!
No thanks, I've seen some of it on YouTube!Quote:

Point taken! I'm very happy that the worst we have to complain about is that of the two commentaries we have a choice between, one of them's rather mediocre :)Quote:

Living in Ireland, I don't get 5Live coverage. Though I would be interested to hear snippets of Ant and Crofty's take on commentating.
Charlie Cox can be a bit of a headfull indeed. Ben Edwards would be the perfect man for the job. If not him, I'd be content with giving James Allen another go.

With Canada getting BBC coverage when the sound went down we just had a picture. At first not even car sounds and then for a while the cars but no commentary. Didn't really miss the commentarty.
When TSN here goes to commercial we get side by side but the less than half size picture is very hard to follow. I have a 32 inch screen. Our commercials run for close to 5 minutes it seems.
TSN start coverage 5 minutes before the start so we get no pre race show and they often cut the post race show sometimes literally in mid word. To-night they went to stick and ball talking heads as soon as the interviews were over.
Qualifying was shown on TSN2 which I do not get.
When qualifying was originally scheduled they just showed a taped boxing show with no explanation of the cancellation.
Thanks to the internet I was expecting it.
Speed coverage is blacked out in Canada.
