Nightmare racing broadcast team
#1
Posted 28 January 2013 - 20:54
As before this thread is not restricted to certain series (F1), but all areas of racing. Your dream team could be commentating on BTCC, Super GT, WSBR, NASCAR, F1, Australian Porsche Carrera Cup or anything you wish - and there is no need to mention that series here. Instead, what I wish you to tell me is
Channel - the least preferred channel of yours, ie the TV broadcaster of the series (whatever it may be). Pick 1 only
Commentators - the main commentators / colour commentators. Pick 1-3 persons
Presenters - presenters of the show providing some pre-race chat or whatever. Pick 0-3 persons (you don't necessarily have to pick any for this if you so wish)
Pit lane reporters - personell working at pits and interviewing drivers and teams. Pick 0-2 persons (you don't necessarily have to pick any for this if you so wish)
Doesn't have to be realistic, except:
A) Channel must (still) exist
B) Persons you picked must be alive
C) Persons you picked must have some connection to motor racing / cars / TV broadcasting, ie not Bruce Dickinson ;)
Not restricted to english speaking TV of course.
Dream team here

Channel: any european pay channel
Commentators: Carlton Kirby, Alfredo Nin, Tero Karhu
Pit lane: Timo Pulkkinen, Erkki Mustakari
Presenters: Robbie Nock, Jerome D'Ambrosio
My seven sins here are
Kirby - the annoying one
Nin - the unprofessional one
Karhu - the bad one
Pulkkinen - the lame one
Mustakari - the useless one
Nock - the clown one
D'Ambrosio - the boring one
Though I have to admit - Robbie is so hilariously terrible at sports presenting that it does bring some joy at least, which is not the case with the rest of these people

Channel: Usually I would say Fox US or SPEED, just because of the insane amount of commercial time.
But with this crew, I think the ads would provide some sanctuary.

This is a sequel to the previous thread of mine (Dream racing broadcaster team) - but this time I'm asking: what would be your nightmare motorsport TV broadcasting team? Think about commentators and other personalities who you just cannot stand and that make your blood boil? People that just wanna make you hit the screen with hammer?
I much prefer your positive thread to this one. It comes across as quite bitchy.

Criticism that's a bit unfair considering how bitching about TV commentators is one of this forum's top-three pastimes.

Hakkinen in the pits would be awesome.
"And Mika Hakkinen is down in the McLaren pit, what's the situation like Mika?"
"Yeah, it's incredible down here, it's really, it's just.... incredible".

senile old Steve Slater....can't stand his continuous identification mistakes......have been watching F1 in Star Sports from 1998 season...he has been doing goof-ups as long as i can remember(even when Chris Goodwyn was with him)......
I hope they include "Mute the Slater" feature. Only thing worse has to be the LG graphics, but there will be a day when he will transcend that. His mistakes leaves one in tears out of sheer frustration.

Add Carlos Miquel to the "sit around and talk" and you have my "Nightmare racing broadcast team"Telecinco (huge number of ads, zero interest in motorsport further from the races broadcasts, no extra coverage).

Conspiracy theories, contradictory statements and continuously calling drivers by the wrong name. It would be hilarious at first, and slowly, but surely evolve into your worst nightmare.

Take away wrong names, add blatant inability to understand and comment wheel to wheel action live and you have Spanish coverage.
