I'm clearly in the minority, but I think they do a great job @ the California tracks - the paddock interviews provide first hand insight directly from the trainers you will get no where else, having Ron Ellis' perspective on air is impressive, and quite frankly, I don't have any of the issues with most of the on air talent that's gets displayed here regularly, especially now with the departure of Ken Rudolph. As for the rest of their coverage, I can take it or leave it.
Stark comparison to the unwatchable / unlistenable derck the is spewed out of HRTV 24hrs a day, that is when they aren't re-running the same 6 pre-recorded programs over and over again. Siegel and Lurrie are the exceptions - but for the rest - you can have 'em.
I'm in Matt's camp - I don't care to watch racing on the computer, and am disappointed that they can't seem to come to an agreement on the price of the signal. It will severely impact TBD's handle, and TVG's viewership.
Lose -Lose for both of them. Foolish is the only word that comes to mind.
