I like most of them except Croft (all the shouting ) and Kravitz ( not sure if the buffoon persona is by accident or design).
Getting rid of Herbert was a great move.His Brit patriotism was so ridiculous it verged on satire.
Every non British commentator /analyst they use -excepting Patrick of course-adds to the commentary because it lessens the Britishness of the commentary which can be grating for the rest of the world.

Oh yes, and then how will anyone in Europe and other places watch it? It would appear that only SKY can afford the prices that FOM want to take the feed, and then other broadcasters do deals with SKY to carry highlights and more from them.

The Sky coverage is good, but I prefer Ch4 highlights. The commentators are better and don't get so excited. Much calmer and less useless information.
