The problem with TVG has always been that you get to much (talk, crappy pick 4 tickets, garbage, etc) from the (so-called) analysts. But at least they had lots of racing to show. Now all the analyst garbage is magnified because they have less tracks than ever.
The fustrating part is that they have shown the ability to do a good job, most notably when they only have to cover one track. When they exclusively cover Hollywood or Del Mar, (depending on who's working) it can be quite informative and entertaining. Obviously it's later and there are less tracks running, so personally I don't mind the fluff coverage as much. But when there's a wide variety of tracks running, I couldn't care about their thoughts, I just want to see the races. That's always been my main beef with the network.
