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.
