It's a bit complicated now if F1 is on C4 with the practice sessions on Saturday which will clash with the racing will this affect the new TV deal and will C4 decide to dump horse racing for the more sexy F1 ?
I can't see much sponsorship deals if racing is tucked away on More4 or other such channels. Equally the first races on more 4 and the big races on C4 from say 2.30pm when there's a live Euro grand prix could work pretty well. |

It is more complicated, but F1 and racing could work on C4 (with a bit of racing on more 4). Remember C4 will get only ten live qualifying F1 sessions and it will have a degree of ability to choose these - so could prioritise avoiding a clash with any massive racing event. It's likely to get 1 -3 where quali will be much eariler than racing and at least one where it can finish racing and get over to F1 quali on the main channel.
Equally the first races on more 4 and the big races on C4 from say 2.30pm when there's a live Euro grand prix could work pretty well. |

How interested are ITV in getting some of the horse racing rights?

They are contracted to show qualifying. These finish at half 2 (in Europe) plus time for interviews this takes it to 3pm.

Quali is done at 2pm, coverage is done by half 2. Main horse race of the day is usually the post 3pm. So 1 maybe 2 races on more 4 with a switch at half 2 - easy.

Quali is 1-2pm, that includes all three seasons. I can assure you.
On checking the guides the BBC live programme was 12.15 - 2.30 We will be getting 4 live races on 4 if they don't tweak things. |

More bad news for Channel 4 and racing:
http://www.theguardian.com/sport/201...for-boxing-day Racing might be silly now to give Channel 4 the rights again, itv will do a lot better promotion for the major events. |

I suspect there will be even more horse racing programing with the new deal although I wonder if ITV will do a morning magazine program, will better to see that than seeing kids crap..

Horse Racing deal. Is this all the rights? Saturday races so forth? Every meeting?

I don't think they'll replace Simon Holt or Richard Hoiles as commentators. I'd think they would keep Tanya Stevenson and hopefully bring in someone else to focus on the betting as well, something Channel 4 do not pay enough attention to in their coverage.
I'd like to them to keep Nick Luck but would not be surprised if they replaced him, I don't know if Mark Pougatch would be interested in covering the bigger meetings. Hopefully they won't bring in Jeremy Kyle. Clare Balding is another possibility of course but I don't know if she'd want to work for ITV. I'd expect them to keep Sir Tony McCoy as a pundit and try to get Frankie Dettori and Hayley Turner in as well. Anyone's guess for the others, but I'd think they would keep Rishi Persad and Gina Bryce and possibly bring Mike Cattermole or Derek Thompson back. |

Can't see anybody replacing Holt and Hoiles, and Cattermole would be a good shout.....but would they dare bring back McCririck?
Love him or hate him, he was the biggest personality on C4 racing for years! |

if they keep the same presenters and coverage then there is no point swapping channels, ITV have to start from new, get rid of the all the so called experts and have a fresh approach to the coverage.
