LMES on TV in the US

[cooperclimax]

Hope I'm not repeating old news,but beginning on Nov. 12,SPEED will be showing one (1) hour highlight shows of each event. The following events will be shown on each of the following Mondays. 1500 is the time in the US. It's not the full deal,but it beats watching NECKCAR crap.

**** off with the NASCAR bashing.

I don't really tune into the LMES events, due to the time they are aired, and the usually ****ty quality they are broadcasted in. Good to know SPEED is doing all their usual winter programming again though!

I can't even stand Speed anymore. All they show is NASCAR

Atleast you've got a TV station dedicated to motorsport. You should consider yourself lucky!

Sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of their deep-fried Bud can. Last time I looked,we could all give a opinion without someone getting their attachments in a bind.

What a truly horrid production these have been in the past! While I enjoy the ability to at least get a glimpse of the LMS running it is truly a misbegotten show in its quality. With all the time available to work on these shows you would think that the LMS would/could produce real gems rather than the mediocre product that they do. Get some one (like Hindy) to do a decent voice over of a quality edited piece. Is Hindy that expensive?? Well enough of the rant for now.

L.P.

ps. Thanks for the heads-up!

Put the NASCAR and LMS handbags down, it isn't the type of 10-10ths discussion we want. The important thing for the Sportscar forum is that Speed are showing our bit of motorsport. HORNDAWG, thanks for dragging the thread back!

I do wonder why Speed (or Motors over here) don't just grab Hindy and RLM feed for all the coverage of LM and other races (if available). It saves on resources/costs and improves quality!

They could use the original commentary?
or edits of it?

I agree with Horndawgy. The ORIGINAL commentary are horrendous. Some time you could not be sure what language they were speaking, let alone the use constant use of analogies, and poor mouthing the drivers.

Voice over would be the only way. plus with an hour of TV time, there was less then 15 min of footage of the race.
