Add to the above (won't miss):

- Seeing EVERY pitstop, every car trundling along pit lane at 40kmh. Seriously, I've REALLY got a few clues about how to change a tire now.
- Following EVERY car thats in trouble ALL the way to the pits, into the pits, into the garage, onto the truck and back to the workshop. Hey, there's a race on
- Ridiculous cameras - wheels, exhausts, helmets, feet, everything but the race really. I'd like to see one inserted into Rust's head to see if there was a brain there then I'd like another one stuck up Diffey's @arse to see how his words are formed.

Actually, the way things are going with the whole championship thing, I might keep watching Ch.10, so I don't have to watch Cocko's Circus anymore.

I won't miss them because I have absolutely no doubt that they will continue next year in just the same vain, only the target will be Ch7 instead of Ch10.
The commentators will be no good, the timeslots will be no good (fitting around the AFL), there will be too much in-car footage or not enough in-car footage, there will be too many technical fill stories or not enough technical fill stories, they will miss some action due to add breaks, they will miss some action due to showing a pitstop at the time. The commentators will make errors and at least one of them will shout too much when the action gets exciting. The music will be annoying and repetative. The commentary will be annoyingly biased towards the red side. The commentary will be annoyingly biased towards the blue side. They won't show any support races, or if they do they won't be the ones you want to see. They will get hammered for airing some pit to car radio chatter where somebody swears. They will get hammered for not airing some pit to car radio chatter where somebody swears. etc etc etc etc etc

And I will watch the telecasts and enjoy every minute of them.
And then I will read the various anti Ch7 threads on here and quietly chuckle to myself.

Me too.

Well the television/entertainment industry must've liked the Ten telecasts, as they won the Logie for Most Outstanding Sports Coverage for Bathurst the past two years have they not?

I'm not really too fussed about the commentary or the telecast. I don't much about the "theory" side of cars (ie. car parts, set ups etc) but I learn bits and pieces sometimes from watching the telecasts. As for the commentators, I think Crompton is the best commentator mainly because he's a former driver himself.

bahodie · 24 Oct 2006, 05:13 (Ref:1747029)

I found C10's compulsion to explain everything a little annoying; "This is a wheel, it goes round and round". During the cricket you don't expect them to interrupt the actual event for a package about the cows the leather comes from to make the balls...

I hope someone tells C7's director not to cross to the pits EVERY time a car goes in!

Apart from that, I think they did a pretty good job. I'm sure C7 will have the same problems going to ad breaks etc...I just hope we end up seeing more on-track action, and crosses to the pits and the little 'colour' pieces only pop up when the safety car is on track...

PS I won't miss those "tickets to the end game"!

IronLion · 24 Oct 2006, 06:30 (Ref:1747071)

what will happen at indy next year when 10 have the champ car race rights and 7 the v8 supercar rights?

We'll watch Channel 9 in the name of impartiality

RotorFan · 24 Oct 2006, 07:13 (Ref:1747104)

If people think Channel 10's commentary is Holden/HRT biased, then it will be the same with Channel 7, since it is all in your heads - nothing is going to change.

Give them a go about saying Rick was the new leader in the championship. The computer timing was showing Lowndes with less points than he ended up with, and later updated.

Channel 10 do a good job in general showing ads during safety car periods. If they didn't show ads during safety car periods and instead showed ads during green running then you would all be complaining that they dont show ads during safety car periods! They have to show them at some point.

What I will not miss is:
Showing race 1 at ungodly hours
Leigh Diffey (he's great as a pit reporter, but not in the box)
Greg Rust trying too hard (he needs to relax)

I will miss just about everything else. They can improve, but what we have is pretty good.

7 is showing the lot

luke · 24 Oct 2006, 21:45 (Ref:1748192)

Well guys. I never found Leigh Diffey's commentry annoying. I guess its because I'm English and the voice or whatever isn't as annoying.
Its the same for us with F1 with James Allen. All brits hate him, yet the rest of the world doesn't mind him and don't find him as annoying.

C10 sounds like it must have sucked...

I agree about the Zinger replay etc and otehr annoying stuff during the race broadcasts..

(We obviously don't get channel 10 here lol but we get the full V8 Supercar coverge)

mayhem · 24 Oct 2006, 23:46 (Ref:1748273)

I won't miss Diffey, either on TV or walking round the pits 'Cole Trickle' style, dark glasses on and strutting like he's a legend.

ford71 · 25 Oct 2006, 03:57 (Ref:1748393)

I wont miss Leigh Diffey either.
He is the most painful thing about every telecast.
Anyone hear his call at the start of Race 3 "And everyone has got through Turn 1 safely"........camera pans back to grid and there's like 10 cars facing the wrong way, bits of bodywork hanging off them, complete chaos. Oh yeah, good call dick. You earn your $'s dontcha?

I will miss everything that Crompton offers to the telecasts. Fingers crossed he moves to 7.

Other than the commentators, if everything stayed at the same standard we see now, I'd be happy, although late night race 1's weren't great, but bareable.

Chatters · 25 Oct 2006, 07:16 (Ref:1748489)

Another thing I won't miss- A car pulls into the garage, the driver hops out of the car ****ed off, and there in the background you can see Greg Rust and his merry men standing there like idiots waiting for an interview.

Belly13 · 25 Oct 2006, 08:07 (Ref:1748540)

I reckon the same people that are complaining about Channel 10's coverage will be whinging about Channel 7's coverage this time next year. Sure we may miss some things, but that's why God invented the REPLAY!

Once again how will it be possible to whinge about Channel 7 when it is V8Supercar TV doing the telecasts, all 7 are doing is playing the footage provided.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

I bet $5 on Mabs about the coverage being delayed in WA due to the AFL.

Any takers?

bestfit · 25 Oct 2006, 09:39 (Ref:1748677)

Maybe CH10 didn't try too hard to retain the rights to the V8s so that Mabs will send his emails to CH7 instead.

Several of the key personal that will be involved in the telecast next year are the men who are bringing the sport to you now. Chances are the telecast will be much the same.

One change that may be noticable next year is the commentary style. Sevens head of sport, a complete sports nut, likes the commentators to leave the sounds of silence or the crowd to tell the story. For instance, the Melbourne cup last year, following the call of the race and results, it was thrown back to Bruce and the others in the box. For the next 4 minutes all we heard was the crowd.

Geez, talk about backing short priced favourites...

MPA · 26 Oct 2006, 09:54 (Ref:1749843)

Wont miss Cromley explaining Watts Linkages.

In general Neil is goodish, but how many times do we have to hear him explain what the Watts Linkage is?

And the bolt that breaks causing the rear axle assy to slap around...
