TVG programming is all over the map. The refusal to show Woodbine racing and an apparent anti-bias against harness racing seems to be noticeable to all parties now. The network seems to think that showing Remington and Charles Town would result in better figures, but it doesn't. Keeneland is on the net in a few weeks, but most of us (I would assume) will watch those races on their HD feed online.
All one has to do is watch the channel tonight to see what their motives are. Showing Turfway, Remington and Charles Town over Meadowlands and having Rich and Christina host "Drive Time" or whatever they would like to call it.

What's wrong with Remington? And Charles Town is a great spot-play track.
You're just jellus.

Interesting thread.
I have both TVG and HRTV. I refuse to watch TVG. TVG to me is like reading fiction. At times I put HRTV on without the sound. I don't give a rat’s about what ANY of those people have to say. If I want to find out what other people’s opinions are I usually come here to see if anyone has anything to say on the matter. If not, I decide on my own and hope for the best. I use Twinspires so I can pick and choose what I want to watch when I want to watch it. On the other hand I hate to hear that anyone lost their job.  I hope those folks find work as quickly as possible. Best of luck to all of them.

Frank Lyons was on the air today, for those who thought he was off. I guess i am in the minority, I prefer TVG.

I think Simon Bray has an appropriate last name so I try to tune him out as well, but the others I can deal with in short stints. Frank Lyons I don't mind at all. He's bright, and says fairly interesting things.

IMO, TVG has a more complete body of work ovet the last 7-10 years than HRTV. You have to seperate the on air host filling time from any decent handicapping discussions. If they all talked 100% bland figures, times and pedigree, we would kill them for having no personallity.
Frank Lyons made me laugh and offered good insight with The Works and some of the deby coverage. If you liked any of the 4, don't see them landing on the alternative any time soon.
