Granted, the RACE was better, but the presentation of that race was NOT. <br /><br />I mean, are you trying to say TNT is less in the bag for the 48 than FOX? Are you trying to say TNT uses less in-car cam than FOX? Are you trying to say that the announcers are significantly better? Sorry, but to me Kyle Petty has just as many axes to grind as DW, and Wally is every bit the on-air goofball that Larry Mac is. <br /><br />I'm not saying I'd pick FOX over TNT, per se, I'm just saying: Where are the harranguing columns that point out the flaws of the broadcast?

Early use of gimmick shots, main emphasis on the Top 10 instead of spreading it around like they did in previous races, lead-in plugs for sponsors like Fox, disjointed coverage, the commentary was the only thing that really kept it from being a clone of Fox. Hopefully this was a one time mistake that they can correct before Daytona. Post-race coverage was lacking. Why?

They cover more drivers than Fox ever does but they could still mention more if they tried more. I have no problem with them cutting out on the post race show because it is over and time to move on. There is always another show out there to listen to other drivers whine or say the same old thing week after week. Considering what they have to look at and make split decisions on to broadcast live, then they do a good job. I like the fact that the agenda is NOT about them or back in the day when DW and Jeff were doing their cheating or gray area stuff. Larry Mac fits in well with the TNT crew.

I have to agree with a couple of other posts that something just seems off with TNT this year.<br /><br />Last year they were pretty much on target, easily the best effort of the three networks. They do have to deal with some bad tracks but yesterday the camera work was a lot like Fox's. Too much in-car and tight shots. I'm also not sold on Adam Alexander in his role. He's not asking as many questions to set up Kyle and Wally but he doesn't bring any sense of excitement.<br /><br />The one other thing that really bugs me is the "rum" company stuff.

I couldn't do this with FOX because the booth totally overrode the scanner converstation. However on TNT you could listen to the booth for overall race info and still hear the scanner.<br /><br />Fortunately JR was passing cars all race long to get to a top 10 (always took 4 tires, so no track position gain on tire strategy). So it was fun watching how he was working the racing lines to catch and pass the next car. Oh and by the way, Hotpass showed fastest cars on the track. JR was first a number of times and many times in top 5. Was that info shared about anyone by TNT? Think I heard something once or twice.<br /><br />Also, on Hotpass they would show biggest movers, so you knew people were passing. Why TNT didn't choose to go back in the field to watch some of the movers is a total mystery to me.<br /><br />Plus watching JR, I could see other cars making passes in front of him and around him.<br /><br />I know many don't like JR. I am only using him to illustrate stuff was happening on the track that wasn't just in the top five.<br /><br />Still like TNT much better than FOX.

I think I saw the Leverage commercial around 15 times.<br /><br />As far as the telecast, I keep on getting lost. When half the field gets lapped, the coverage goes away. I noticed this a couple races ago. They need to tell the viewers what is going on with the wave around deal and how it works. There where guys that were two laps down and finished in the top 15 on the lead lap, just confusing. <br /><br />I have read the other commentaries and it is sad that you have to watch from a computer to get coverage that should be broadcasted on the TV. Also, I agree that if you aren't in the top ten, you aren't being talked about. They need more coverage and explanations. Why can't we look back at coverage from years ago and take some learning points on how it is done. The people making the broadcast decisions need to take a lesson on history on how it used to be done, when it was done by people in the sport not some person that has never even been to a race.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
