Channel 4 loses Horse Racing rights to ITV

Hopefully different presenters. Would love to see Lydia hislop and Matt chapman as main presenters. Both are the best on the channels they work for at the moment.

The biggest events will get more viewers. That's the difference.

Let's hope they do this great sport justice which it deserves with decent presenters.

Any more horse based puns?

I must admit it is not right we cannot see the Arc from Chantilly this weekend it must be the first time in years that is has not been screened on FTA TV how C4 came to make the decision not to screen when they could have easily moved the GP racing to More4 for or put the race on More4 is beyond me!! Have always looked forward to watching it as it always felt like the last big race of the flat racing season for me - now I have to probably contend with going to my local bookies to watch it

Yeah very weird they have put racing on more 4 when the paralympics was on

Quite liking the lineup for itv racing couple of cuties on there

It is good to see Matt chapman being on the ITV show but I think it is likely he may sit very well with many viewers if he had been on the C4 show I think it would have seen a slide back into better viewing figures, yes he can b brash or a little outspoken but when I used to watch him on ATR when I had Virgin as my telephone company I think he knows how to front a racing programme and always found him very informative. The strange thought for me is I'm very surprised that it wasn't being done as an ITV/ATR collaboration it think that format could have worked quite well and especially when there is evening racing in the summer months.

Guessing most of the racing will be on ITV 4 which will be ok for mark chapman. just the main races could be on itv 1

thought was a good start to the racing on ITV today

got Matt Chapman doing the bookie bit could be dangerous as he might attract the drunk arsehole like John McCririck did he is an accquired taste but can be funny

Nice got Lucy Versamey doing the weather hoping in summer can dress a bit less was in a hat and winter coats was rainging and bloody raining lol

Wasn't too bad for first effort thought graphics wise they could make things a little better and more readable on that front

didn't take Matt long to get his first drunk areshole did it? lol

within half an hour

thought AP and mick fitzgerald were not going to be a part of it but was a surprise

Victoria Pendleton though doing some things for the morning show not sure how i feel about it. still could have been worse could have joey essex on it lol
