Racehorse TALK

time for bed 

I think whatever's filling the ad space is the least of their probs.

This forum is really awful at the moment 

I thought you told us you turn the sound down or record it, make up your mind.

Must admit I tend to agree with Pete on this one,  I always switched to Sky when some of there revolting adds come on TVN ( I always switch off when those Insurance company adds come on TV as well), some adds I can let run in the back ground but some I just can't stand even listening to, Dynamic was a perfect Example, I wouldn't like to be an advertiser who followed his adds as you had no chance of being seen or heard, ditto those Sportingbet (or are they Sportsbet??) I don't watch them long enough to know??

Surely trying to generate more turnover on racing would be a bigger help to the Industry, certainly better for their viewers

Who cares what ads they run - it's commercial broadcasting of course they're going to ads.

That you don't like them 

News Flash,

The Reality of Commercial Broadcasting

Since TVN started, there have been lots of rumors about their finances.  The fact that they resort to these ads means that they probably do need the money.  Why do you think they don't need money?  For the amount of racing they actually broadcast, they would have quite significant overheads, plus all of the fillers they need when there is no racing. 

Just to let you know I watch it, my pet hate is the obsessive plugs for Sportingbet, and the Sportingbet Market mover, plus the endless reports on the jockey challenge.  Who actually bets on the jockey challenge?

Steve I realise that it is a commercial operation and they are trying to squeeze as much out of it as possible BUT I don't have to Like watch or listen to them do I??  
 What do you think they invented the Remote control for??    only a Zombie would put up with it and like it!!  

 TVN is ordinary...thought Waterhouse series was good ..but if Bruce Clarke can be on the "wicket " he's reportedly on ....half his luck ...they would be losing a stack and no doubt propted up by RVL

2 words...Mute Button.

You are talking and commenting on these ads so yes they are doing there job.

Stylish you have to see them at least once to be annoyed enough to NOT watch them any more, the other point they are certainly not doing their job with me, I have owned many a thoroughbred and one person I would not buy a share from is a used car salesman that annoys the s*#t out of me, so how are they doing their job??
