There's a clip on YouTube where it was mentioned.

RPM?
I watched the new RPM for the first time yesterday and I actually enjoyed it. It wasn't perfect and was certainly different to the olden days of Sheene and Woods but it was enjoyable none the less. Bit weird having a studio audience but I can't see it detracting from the show. I don't know who the guy and the girl on the panel were part from AJ and Bayliss, never heard of them but didn't annoy too much as they didn't seem to takeover the show.
The simulator bit was good for a laugh, although it seems previous head to head duels were a bit closer then Bayliss and Daz. And from where I sit the show still covers the big three (F1 V8s and Motogp) although I think they skimmed over the V8/ compared to the other two. And it's good to have the cross to the weekends F1 race to catch up on what's happened at the track, really reminds me of the earlier times when the internet wasn't so widespread and RPM was a must watch on a Sunday afternoon to get your fix between quali and the race. The piece on Miller at home with the family was along the lines of something seen many times on the shows in it's history and that wasn't a bad thing at all, it's good to see drivers and riders away from the track and what they do with their downtime. I'll keep watching. |

Is there any reason we have a non-Motorsport person hosting RPM the last couple of weeks?
The professionally trained voice modulation is not powered by passion for the sport, more just another broadcaster. For all his faults, Mr Noonan would likely be a better choice as host! |

Maybe it comes from the old days when you had people like Gary Wilkinson and other people who's names escape me, commentating Bathurst. The next week they'd be calling AFL. They could almost get away with it then because it was far less technical and far less tactical. These days a casual observer / network hack doesn't stand a chance. |

Maybe Matt White's promotion means less time in front of the camera?

We just had the "joy" of having Adrian Barich (Ex AFL footballer) doing the on ground interviews for the World Series Rugby (Western Force vs Hong Kong) on Friday night. He actually asked the Hong Kong coach if he was familiar with the world series rules. Lucy Zelic on SBS did the football (Soccer) on Saturday night (Tottenham vs Newcastle) and did her usual excellent job. So it is common practice. The difference between those two is one is competent and the other not. Much like your example. Lack of game experience (For want of a better description) doesn't mean people cant offer commentary. Mostly what is on offer from ex players/drivers is dumbed down anyway so you don't get great insights. For example I reckon Mark Larkham could offer more than an explanation of understeer or camber or fuel strategy, but he is unlikely to be allowed to. The closest you get to insight is ex cricketers commentary (just not on channel nine, obviously). There again some of the greatest cricket commentators weren't test players. So at the end of the day it is about competence as much as it is about past careers. |

Was Bill Woods a motoring enthusiast before he started hosting RPM in 1997? Had he had anything to do with motor racing prior to the 1996 Sandown 500?
Everyone seemed to accept him pretty quick Is Matt White a motoring enthusiast and had he had anything to do with motor racing prior to TEN getting the V8 rights in 1997? Bar bit parts he didn't have anything to do with the coverage in any full-time capacity until 2002, despite being with Network Ten since the early 90s Nothing wrong with non-motoring types in the mix, otherwise we end up with Cromtpn/Skaife/Murphy/Larkham in-jokes and incessant laughing rather than giving us information |
