MotoGP. NBC sucks
« on: October 03, 2021, 08:40:07 PM »
Not the best race of the season but the worst TV coverage by NBC.. Running commercial breaks during the race? Give me a break, wait don't.. save the advertisement for before and after the actual race.
 They dropped two 2 minute breaks right over the race cutting off the commentators in mid sentence. Pretty sure said commentators didn't know they'd been big footed cause they kept on talking . And I don't need super slow replays when there is action on the track, save it for the highlights. I've got a few more nit picks but rant over. The chopper shots were great as was MM.

Edit, just had a though, maybe YouTube tv inserted those ads? BUT I haven't noticed that in any of the other races. If that's the case apologies to NBC.

I think because it was live?  Usually we get a delay when the race is in Europe.

The real shame was the Beast gained 2 spots on a last lap move and nobody saw it.  Hope it shows up somewhere.  My new favorite driver...

NBC has done it bad from the beginning.  They don't even have a recurring schedule.  I'm not impressed with the world feed guys either.  No word on Moto 1 & 2.  Joe Roberts or Cam.  I can't believe they ran commercials.

BEIN did a great job, ran all the quals and races live.  They had good network lead-ins too.   I could tape it and run through all 4 hours of programming.  And sometimes the qualifications were as good as the race.

They show commercials here, too, ( Germany) but they don't stop showing the race.
The race is shown in a small 'box but you don't miss anything but the commentators.

typically we get the "world feed" here and it's run uninterrupted.  Then they run a slew of commercials before and after the race.  The issue with MotGP here, it's a very small but very committed audience. 

NBC took over for small channel BEIN (usually Soccer from Latin America).  They ran all the programming live and did a decent job of it.  NBC was trying to establish a Sports Channel (which has failed) and loaded with motorsports.  They actually do a great job with NBC produced US content but have treated MotoGP and WSBK like a red headed step child.  At least ESPN runs all the F1 world feed live and (thankfully) ignores it the rest of the time.
