Well, the feed loss wasn't their fault - though it was very annoying.
Lee Mackenzie is the pit reporter for the A1 GP series, and ex-presenter of the ITV Motorsport Sunday (name of which I forgot, it was mainly a BTCC programme). So she knows a bit of motorsport, but maybe not Indycars so much.
Chris Tate worked for Lola & Panoz so could be considered to be very much an expert on US Motorsport.
I don't know who that driver was.
It was live coverage - the panel bit's not so important, as long we had Gary Lee & Larry Rice on the commentary - and to give that racing guy credit, he did his best to keep up with what was going on during the outage (during which I switched to the indycar.com video stream).
So - considering, in answer to your perhaps rhetorical question, I think they're doing fine and disagree with you entirely! But that's just my opinion.
