Default why is eurosport wrc coverage sooo poor?

every episode runs at least ten minutes late, meaning i have to remember to record the following programme too, and the lipsynch during interviews is laughable! who runs this station? joey deacon?

The scheduling is because they run so many Live events. Invariably 1 or 2 run over. So programmes at the end of the say will be later than those at the start.

However, in their defence. When the programme starts its normally better than the ITV/C4/BBC/Whoever coverage. The lip sync problem is down to satelite issues. And only happens IME 1 in every 10-15 days. So its not a huge issue. Certainly not unwatchable.

Its the same with the MotoGP coverage. The actual programme and its content and its presenters/commentators are first rate. Its the "getting-to-broadcast" part that are the problems.

I agree, the actual coverage is in a completely different league to ITV's, you actually get to see some rallying, rather than some numptie tw@t talking about a subject that is completely alien to him - Jon Desborough and to be honest I've never noticed any sound/audio synch problems. The timing's never bothered me coz you can guarantee that it's gonna get re-shown at least twice later that week

Plus, in James Whitham Eurosport have easily the best sport's pundit/commentator currently appearing on a TV screen

Unfortunately they also have Julian Ryder, great writer, terrible commentator definitely a voice more suited to silent movies
