BBC Vs Channel 4

[Charlie Wong]

right who's got the better coverage, presenters, production values etc.. for me the BBC are very poor, Carson & Balding are a joke:spank , At Ascot i'd much rather of seen more info about the horses, no punter cares about the latest posh frocks and hats. Channel 4 has a better team, the camera work at the Cheltenham festival was superb, the BBC camera guys need to realise there are more horses in a race than just the leader.;) Not a fan of Jim McGrath either. Basically i hope Channel 4 get Ascot next year:ok what does everyone else think?

Re: BBC Vs Channel 4 Not a fan of the Beebs coverage, I can't stand Carson one bit but I think Claire Balding comes in for a lot of unjustified stick. She's got racing in her blood and is as knowledgabe as they come but I don't think she gets taken seriously, simply because she's a female. Channel 4 is good and as you say, the Cheltenham coverage is exceptional with some awesome camera work.
