I have no idea whether their ADW is a money maker for them or not, but I haven't watched since Hollywood ended and don't intend on tuning in again until Keeneland starts.
I really don't have any interest in their on-air personalities - I couldn't care less what any of them say, though I do hold Free and Seigel in very high regard especially when discussing CA racing (obvoiusly on HRTV).
The only value TVG offers is when Christine Olivares is in the paddock (preferably in a short skirt and a low cut sweater) and is interviewing the trainers/connections - for instance, if you're fortunate enough to catch him - Peter Miller usually gives out very credible information regarding the other entrants and how he sees the race... usually give out a horse or two that don't necessarily show up on the form as worth using, but almost always out run their odds.. Besides that, I don't mind the other on air types, but would be just fine with a straight simulcast feed and none of the pablum.
