The split screen was brilliant and a wonderful surprise. All the Speed/Fox guys and Krista were on their game today. This type of tv coverage is what we have all been asking for. Even when someone said on here that the background noise was too loud, the people in the production truck must have been reading this blog. Mike Joy said someone said they were too loud, he made a comment that it was the fans that got louder when JR took the lead. At least they are reading and wanting to take the opinions here to make the coverage better for us. Thank you Speed for making today a joy to watch and listen to. And Thank you JD for all your hard work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-24015460568515997422008-02-14T20:12:00.000-05:002008-02-14T20:12:00.000-05:00The word should be "what" in that 2nd sentence.

Let's hope that each network (Speed tonight and ESPN2 tomorrow) front-loads the commercial breaks so we can see the go-or-go homers qualify with no commercial interruption.stricklinfan82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01808897974344304657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-82999663731422252622008-02-14T18:58:00.000-05:002008-02-14T18:58:00.000-05:00Blogger Daly Planet Editor said...

It's nice to see that these networks seem to be cooperating more this year. Let's hope this cooperation means we get ALL practice sessions back on LIVE TV during the ESPN portion of the Cup schedule.<BR/><BR/>Please guys, when you competing networks work together the fans are the big winners.
