Yes I know Rishi Persad has done it the last few years. I was hoping that this year it would be either Russell Fuller or Cara Robinson, not sure if she would be available but she was a good addition at the Open last year.

A bit of detail on the US coverage - Dottie Pepper replaces, the now at NBC, David Feherty Quote:
For the 31st consecutive year, Jim Nantz will cover the Masters for CBS (his 29th year as host). He also handles coverage of the Highlight Shows, originating from Butler Cabin on the grounds of Augusta National. Three-time Masters champion Sir Nick Faldo joins Nantz in the 18th hole tower as lead analyst. Ian Baker-Finch will describe the action at the 17th hole and join Nantz for the Highlight Shows; Verne Lundquist, the 16th hole; Peter Kostis, the 15th hole; Bill Macatee, the 14th hole; Dottie Pepper, the 13th hole; and Frank Nobilo will tell the story at the 11th and 12th holes.

When likes of Nobilo and Faldo on NBC/Golf Channel too as well as CBS on varying weekends on the PGA Tour why is David Feherty excluded?

Whilst Golf Channel and NBC are now owned by the same company Faldo (and since last season Nobilo) don't appear on any programming broadcast on NBC |

F1 Bahrain GP (Channel 4) Presenter: Steve Jones presenting from the Sakhir International Circuit in Bahrain Pundits: David Coulthard, Mark Webber, Susie Wolff Commentators: Ben Edwards, David Coulthard with Karun Chandhok in the pit lane Reporter: Lee Mckenzie They had a very interesting idea for their qualifying and race build up, the presenting team was split for most segments which I thought worked very well. Steve was with Susie and David presented some segments with Webber and they both did the grid walk together. Steve and Susie also went behind the Mercedes pit garage before the Pit Lane opened which was quite cool! I don't normally post practice details but since this was C4's first live race I thought it would be best to post them. Steve Jones presented Friday practises and he was joined by Karun Chandhok who doubled up as pundit and pit reporter for FP1. I don't think there was a pit reporter for FP2/3 as Karun was in the box with Ben Edwards, the later commentated on all 3 practice sessions and was joined by Tony Dodgins for FP1. Lee Mckenzie presented FP3 on Saturday. There was not much difference with the practice coverage compared to the BBC's despite the adverts, a bit of a shame they could of added a bit more build up and reaction to these sessions like Sky do but let's not upset C4's weekday audience .F1 Bahrain GP (Sky Sports F1) Presenter: Simon Lazenby presenting from the Sakhir International Circuit in Bahrain Pundits: Martin Brundle, Johnny Herbert, Paul Di Resta Commentators: David Croft, Martin Brundle with Ted Kravitz in the pit lane Reporter: Rachael Brookes As Damon and Anthony Davidson was off, Paul Di Resta doubled up as pundit and Skypad analyst. I didn't see The F1 Show but I assume it was Lazenby presenting with Di Resta and Herbert as pundits so please correct me if I am wrong. The F1 Report: Bahrain GP Review (Sky Sports F1) Presenter: Natalie Pinkham presenting from Sky Studios in London Guests: Kevin Eason, Ben Hunt With no Priestly this week our guests this week is a load of tabloid newspaper reporters.

Johnnie Hammond is a truly awful commentator to listen to. Really don't like his vocal quality and his pronunciation is appalling. I'd love to know who this "Benjamin Paillaugue" guy is as well.
Real shortage of good rugby commentators at the moment though, beyond the usual suspects. |

Though McKenna and Goode were doing a cheap off-tube job, their commentary (or what I head of it flicking between the two games) was actually quite good.
Given my remarks about Johnnie Hammond on Friday night I'd say BT have better rugby commentators as first, second and third choice now, plus Andrew Cotter to come in now and again. Andy Goode is good behind the mic as well if it's an avenue he wants to take in his retirement. |

For a British side in a European QF. Terrible move to do an offtube cheap job.

Now that he's regularly commentating on Premiership games for talkSPORT 2, but that station doesn't have rights to the European Rugby Champions or Challenge Cups, I reckon he might become a regular on BT Sport during European weekends next season. |

Does anyone have the commentary/presentation details for the Melrose 7's on BBC Scotland, Sky Box Office coverage of Joshua vs Martin and Sky Sport's Masters coverage?
Thanks |

Wasn't really concentrating, but Johnny Nelson presented the fight with Audley Harrison and David Haye. Nick Halling commentated but can't remember who was with him. Other guests will have been used
Later on, Johnny Nelson hosted from the stage with Audley Harrison and David Haye. Nick Halling and Glenn McCrory commentated with special comments from Carl Froch. Jim Watt was conspicuous by his absence. |

For the undercard Ed Robinson hosted at ringside with Johnny Nelson, Carl Froch and Glenn McCrory as punidts. Adam Smith and Paul Smith commentated.

Jim Watt was conspicuous by his absence. It’s like Sky have lost confidence in him presenting, but feel the more casual viewers that the big PPVs bring in must warm to him more than Ed Robinson. |

A very bizarre setup. It’s odd enough that Nelson has been replaced as host of the live Fight Night cards and works as a pundit, and then comes in to host the PPVs, but to only host the main event while working as a pundit on the undercard doesn't make much sense.
It’s like Sky have lost confidence in him presenting, but feel the more casual viewers that the big PPVs bring in must warm to him more than Ed Robinson. Robinson also presented the post fight section, with Nelson, Froch, Haye and Harrison as pundits. |

Saturday 9th April - Premier Sports
Live Boxing: WBO International Welterweight Championship: Manny Pacquiao v Timothy Bradley III Commentators: Colonel Bob Sheridan, Rich Marotta and Crystina Poncher (as Top Rank's international feed) I'm not sure if Premier Sports had any studio presentation (for a show airing at 4am in the morning, I doubt it), but they used the international feed coverage - as did radio broadcaster talkSPORT 2, despite it being a TV feed, with them crediting this to Premier Sports - rather than HBO's domestic broadcast. On HBO PPV, commentary came from Jim Lampley, Max Kellerman and Roy Jones Jr, with Harold Lederman providing his unofficial scorecard. Kellerman conducted the in-ring post-fight interviews - I think Poncher did the ones heard on the international feed. |
