[AL14]

I remember rally radio having Colin Clark describing the scenery at the location where he was interviewing the drivers or telling about his hotel breakfast, through a phone line sound quality, while waiting for cars to arrive. Sometimes there was even music played while the cars reached the finish. If someone had gone off, the only thing they could say is that he's not moving on the map or the split is missing. Now we can see what has happened, sometimes we're lucky to see it live, sometimes we can get an instant replay, sometimes we get the visual from the next car or helicopter a bit later. Even on the Audio Only, they say what's happened. Often we can even get a quick interview of the team boss after someone has retired. I think All Live Audio Only is a lot better, although I admit it's not tailored for pure listening experience, but it's a lot more informative and there's no more phone line sound quality.

Why you guys don't understand a very simple reasoning?

Before All live, we could listen to radio and be updated on what was happening in the stage because the commentators, being in an only audio media had to update their spectators on splits and give comment on what was happening.
The audio of a visual product do not do that because it would be stupid to update on all the split while they are showed on the screen. They just comment something that people are already watching and some information are not given.

Colin clark described the scenery before the event started and on break times... No reason to bring that to the discussion.

I'm not saying that just to say it. I actually tried to listen to the radio while working as I did for 4 years straight and it is not possible. You heard car noise, and some unclear comment and become annoying after 30 seconds.

As for the fact that you can see what happen. I'm happy for you but my statement was not against all live, but about the fact that personally I found the real radio a comfortable way to follow the rally and now I can't listen to it anymore. I hope now it's more clear.
