    Jeez, when will ITV Racing get their act together with pronunciations?!

    LA Goes To Vegas was bad and earlier in the season Rodadendum was not clever.

    Today we've apparently got Alpha Centuri running... and as I type Clownman has just graduated to Alpha Century.

    TV should have a duty to set an example.

    ‘fraid those days are long gone, DO.

    Some of the presenters/reporters leave me in dire need of subtitles.

    Yes, they need to take a leaf out of The West Wing. There's an episode in which the president's advisers are trying to get him to be less highbrow about the way he addresses audiences.

    He gives them short shrift and insists he is dutybound by his office to raise standards.

    Audio is dominating sports coverage for me these days.

    Much prefer podcasts and radio analysis to the image and subsequent product put out by tv broadcasts.

    For whatever reason people are more likely to be honest and entertaining in non visual mediums.

    Slowly working my way through ITV coverage -Murtagh is top notch -Ed C too safe for my liking -Brough Scott full of his own importance.

    Thought coverage on ITV excellent all week. They have cut the fashion back too. Yes I'd still like to see more coverage of horses in paddock but it is improving. It's a good atmosphere and makes you want to be there. Only thing I don't really like is the Social Stable as I don't think they have much chemistry.

    Frankly surpirsed that Emmet Kennedy's brand of inane twaddle appeals to anyone, including ITV bosses, or Kevin Blake. The type of office colleague that would make you move jobs. Best of luck to him I suppose but I find anything he is involved with unwatchable/unlistenable.

    Hayley Turner deserves a mention as being very accomplished behind the microphone, informed, interesting and not always unoriginal. World be deserving of her place regardless of her exploits as a jockey.
