SSR production is pretty dire. Another race start missed yesterday, as they were on an advert break.
Sky really struggle to cope with 3 meetings on the channel at the same time, plus fitting in 15-18 minutes of ads and promos every hour.
Also annoying is the inability of presenters both on and off-course to hand over to commentary before the start of a race. Appreciate some commentators don’t like early handovers in case of last second delays, but on occasions presenters are still waffling on 50 yards into a race.
Surely they should be getting told to shut up in their earpieces, or better still have their microphones hooked up to the starting button so they’re muted as soon as the race starts.
Not to mention those side panel graphics which often don’t get removed before a start, I could go on…..
....and you've got to look a long way back for anything else.
