at york last week to discuss plans for 2019, seems the channel will be rebranded as racing tv.
a much more studio based approach seems likely,and,inevitably, there may be less air time for those presenters and pundits working on course.

great idea that mate, have you thought of a name for it yet...igudob perhaps??
i heard they were re arranging ruk fixtures to reduce clashes next year
That would be a massive improvement on the third rate dross which they churn out now. It needs to be on the lines of, and i think my memory serves me well here, how SIS was in the early days when they first started broadcasting to the shops. It was usually Ian Carnaby who would host the show and he would give a rundown of the afternoons racing but as soon as the action started it was just the racing or shots of the track or paddock with no talking, chat, anything !! Complete silence for most of the afternoon !
Less is more !!!!!

When RUK first started there was actually two channels 432 and 433. The 433 channel covered American Racing at night so I see no reason why they can't spit all the racing between two channels.
The RUK's often long winded and over bloated post race interviews with repeated "do you think it will get further" questions have become tedious imo.
Also the insidious creep of adverts and sponsored by **** into the program is beginning to make me feel that I am paying too much for this product.

The male interviewers are all like Columbo and the female Vera following the same prescribed M.O for interviewing suspects 'Never ask a question you don't already know the answer to'.
The betting liars and gravy shysters should be ousted but who will replace them,more of the same obviously the likes of which are gravying their self serving selves through the ranks under one venture or another.
A voice over person paddock cams,cantering to the start cams and some exchange/betting shows would be practical through a red button scenario with limited gravy sodden interviews would be a help to punters.
Not going to bother posting about betting equality we all know the score there.

As long as they get a spanking new set so it all looks fresh and exciting nothing else matters. It will no longer look and feel cheap - well at least until the set gets a few scuff marks anyway......
To be fair the on course presenters are dealing with a lot of cheats and con men. You can't expected them to be to forceful or they will never get another interview. Asking a jockey why he held his horse up and rode a complete shocker my be entertaining for the punters but the jockey will run a mile next time they try to interview him. Same as the trainers they are not going to tell the general public what's happening when they have owners paying them thousands to get the inside news on their horse.
We all have a good idea which jockeys are bent and which trainers are dodge,they are usually the ones that won't be interviewed.
I'll like them to interview owners after the race, bet Tony Bloom would have made a good interveiw on Saturday £300.000 up in smoke

Floozy's right.
I remember being in a shop on the first day of SIS, and there was Carnaby on-screen, looking a bit lugubrious and world-weary, settling down with a mug of tea and a copy of the Life for an afternoon of racing - just like one of us, really.
He wasn't trying to sell the sport to us, or audition himself as a media personality, or pretend that off-course bookmakers had anything useful of honest to say. And he didn't insult our intelligence with any imaginary PROPUNTERING back-story either.

Tony Bloom was interviewed on ATR the other week and was a waste of 2 minutes, made most Ryan Moore interviews look entertaining.

I will believe this when I see it. They could have trimmed the hangers on - and that's the vast majority of them - ages ago. They have actually built up Nevison's role even though he is of no use whatsoever. What he says much of the time is out of line the actual show. I doubt we are ever going to lose 'xyz' are 'powering the show nonsense'.
Agree most of the interviews are pretty pointless. You would be better off making up your own mind. Often more about the interviewer massaging their own egos by suggesting possible future targets.
Very few jockeys worth listening to. Oisin Murphy about the only one who is willing to criticise himself.
They could start by ditching the tedious interviews with clerks. Just put the details on screen.

Why is Ian Carnaby not employed by either channel. The mans a legend and I could listen to him all day
Interesting line in the Post today they (Racing Post) have bought a digital marketing agency and Bill Barber's says it "continues the company's diversification beyond racing".

So they want a racing channel that is less about racing and betting whilst those that fund it are doing so because their interest is racing and more importantly betting 
FYI.... Tony Bloom is the owner of the 3/1 fav for Saturdays Ebor in which Robert Winston rode an absolute shocker and cost him £300,00 in Prize money and much more in bets.
Can only be a good thing if the Bisto is running low......

you all know there is ruk extra right, just mute sky and you have everything you wish for already available
ruk xtra is a useful concept but too many tracks havent quite grasped the idea, Thirsk is a great example, you hear the commentator talking about the horses going to post but you are watching a shot of a field, or dots of horses in the distance, then you have the likes of leicester that will follow one horse to post (often some outsider) and then stick with a shot of the stalls rather than going back and picking up other horse going down, for balance some tracks like goodwood do the job well and its far more useful than a post race interview that tells you nothing and you can watch later in the review or read about in the paper the next day anyway (as that seems the only place reporters get their post race comments from these days)
the delay on these pictures leaves a lot to be desired also but then this is 2018

the leicester to post shots here many refer to the round course
How do you get RUK Extra through Virgin? I suspect like a few others I don't want to watch sport through a computer.
ruk have actually branded it 'xtra' and you cannot get it on any tv platform as far as i know (which would have been great as these are raw pics), but, on the plus side, it does allow you to watch it side by side with 426 and not miss anything.
think we might have to get used to watching via laptop etc. US Open tennis is on Amazon Prime video. Hearn's boxing platform is online etc etc
