Channel 4 Morning Line is rubbish anyway. I remember working out 2 races one day & tuned into the morning line to see their verdict on the 2 races because the races I’d worked out was on channel 4 racing later that day.
To my dismay I found that they were talking tripe, nothing to do with racing at all. When they covered racing they looked at one race and decided on the favorite without considering anything else.
The horse I picked was second favorite, but drifted before the race.
However even when Morning Line was at it’s height it only considered the scoop six races.
The Morning Line is an appalling programme. Full of self indulgent and self appointed experts who lack guile, humour and eloguence. Lucky is ok but the others are a waste of space.
Mind you, it could be worse. They might have employed the likes of Lydia Hislop, Luke Harvey, Richard Pittman and Zoe Bird. A nightmare scenario.
I had to switch off the Morning Line today, before I threw something at the TV. It used to be an adult programme for fans, but it has been jazzed up and dumbed down.
Everything now has a label: "coming up" is Emma at Newbury, then a few minutes later we are told that Emma is at Newbury, the a few minutes later we go to Emma at Newbury – too much padding, or perhaps they think we are too dumb to get the message first time round.
Why does there have to be a TV between the presenters with the ML logo going round and round distracting us: we know we are watching ML, that’s the channel we chose.
The musak on the racing clips drowns the commentary. And now we have more popups with a whooshing sound.
Perhaps the programme is being targetted at children, to catch them before T4. Its as shambolic.
A good programme has been ruined. Bring back the old format with the familiar range of presenters, Lesley, Alastair et al.I stopped watching a couple of weeks after the new format went live. It was the ‘racing bulletin’ that did it for me. Big Mac and Tanya in ‘Max Headroom’ mode was more than I could take at 8am on a Saturday morning. It’s just bizarre, there is no other word to describe a racing show that seems to go out of it’s way to be everything

a racing show. It’s annoying too.

Quite correct and that’s the problem, the powers at Channel 4 want more people to watch the Morning Line even though they aren’t racing fans, and in return the "new" Morning Line is designed for these people instead of the true racing fans who want a serious racing show. It’s crazy and like many other people I don’t watch the show anymore
