Reply With QuoteWe are no doubt the wrong demographic but he could do with some training LOL I have seen him referred to elsewhere as the Walking Ego - there certainly is a lot of I in what he talks about (mostly his bets last night)
I can't stand the bloke. He calls everyone by a nickname and barely lets the co host talk. I really like watching the show but can't watch when he is on. I would be happy to see J Bon P off !Originally Posted by Messenger
Don't die wondering !

JB is good at manifesting excitement but when it is pitched at that level too long you do need to take a break from him. With the producers not doing it for us, I found myself switching off and on a bit tonight - Menangle having some big races was a real blessing
I can see what Trevor means about the nicknames - tonight they were constant, constant, constant (although I think he may have called Chris Alford - Christopher for a change)

It was great to have pretty much continuous coverage from Maryborough today for the trotters breeders crown heats but to be professional we really needed another camera. A huge percentage of the telecast was really audiocast as we never saw Paul Campbell or anyone that he interviewed. A fixed camera on a microphone position for interviewees would have made us go from Ch31 standard to commercial channel standard, if for some reason this is not as simple as it sounds well then a fixed camera on the parade ring/stables area would have been better than an empty home straight or the semaphore board

We have no sound on TrotsVision other than Dan's call for R1
They are continuing on as if they didn't know
They have done 100's of meetings from Melton - it should be clockwork by now!

We only heard a goodbye "Cheers" from Glenn Douglas's interview - probably enough
We have not been able to hear as to whether there is a reason that we have only male hosts tonight

I am not sure why we need 3 on the desk when we are using Dan a lot and have Gareth on track
(although it is certainly stopping Jason from dominating)

They were aware of it and just kept going as there was no way to know when the sound would kick back in - it was a Sky Channel problem.
I have been told "HRV and Mediatec send replays to Sky Racing / TAB from meetings", so I am pretty certain Sky don't produce our TrotsVision content so I cannot see how we can blame them for no audio. I reckon we could do with an old fashioned "Testing, testing, testing 1,2,3 " maybe a half hour before the meet just in case we have a rogue Sky worker pulling out one of our plugs. We did see a worker go into the Broadcast box after Dan had called R1

Why do TrotsVision leave it until the last second to roll
eg Horsham R1 today - we missed the very start.(by no means a rarity)
Unprofessional
