    Does anybody know why the TV coverage of the TT has changed so much this year? Am I right in thinking the production company is no longer North One and the new company has had a huge shake up getting rid of the usual faces?

    Also read a rumour on twitter that the coverage is going to BT Sport as of next year?

    Can anybody shed any light on the matter?

    P. S. I know BT is a paid for service but I could imagine they would do a good job of the TT and might even lead to more coverage and more programmes. (I already have BT sport )

    Not sure about production company, but fully agree that BT Sport, with its numerous channels, would do a brilliant job as it does with Moto GP. Of course this would disadvantage the public. It is a shame that so many of the good sports telecasts are now televised as a subscription or pay-per-view basis. I also have BT Sport so am biased in welcoming the proposed move.

    It has changed but I am still enjoying it. If it does go to BT sport I will have to add it to my sky package as I feel I am missing out on MotoGP and Champions League etc.

    Huh? He's got the worst, most unusual Australian accent I have EVER heard - and I've heard many! Better than Simon Crafar though, although he's a New Zealander.

    Weirdly I like his accent, plus he's got a bit of personality about him - the others are so boring especially that dullard Jody, ughh.

    Err...maybe I'm getting in touch with my feminine side :oops:

    The new production companies format is crap, it's all over the place!
    I really enjoyed it before with the old presenters and it was an hour to look forward to each night for the fortnight.
    Jodie Kidd is beyond awful which is being reflected in the majority of comments in social media, they may as well replace her with a glove puppet it'd be more interesting and cheaper.
    I hope they get it sorted for next year & it doesn't go to BT as I don't have it :rolleyes:

    I actually had to Google her just to satisfy myself that she wasn't undergoing gender transition.

    Looks like the new production company needs to invest in some more sandbags for next year :D
