speedybee1972 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Have BT Sport named who will be host this year's Grand Prix. Tatum and Pearson? Nichols ? or can we have Dave Lanning back in the hot seat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 NP and KT will certainly provide the commentary. Not sure what BT's studio plans are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagrag Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 BT have been offering the Speedway work out to their existing talent pool for the last few weeks and have offered screen tests for new presenters starting in the next week or so. Darren Fletcher was keen to do some as already a huge Speedway fan and personal friend with Tai but has his BT sport football commitments as well as his BBC 5 live shows. It is unfortunate in 2016 its also the European football championships as would have been available for Cardiff at least I have a feeling that he will be involved in the World Cup at BV though I am sure that they will also have a former/current rider too Scott Nicholls is probably the best bet or maybe Simon Stead but possibly has too many PL matches on Saturdays that will clash with GPs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSC67 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Studio work will most likely go to someone like Craig Doyle , with Scott Nicholls & or Sam Ermolenko as pundits , don't expect that there will be a change in the commentators or pits interviewers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Would definitely like to have Scotty Nicholls and Sofie, very good presenters and interviewers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Studio work will most likely go to someone like Craig Doyle , with Scott Nicholls & or Sam Ermolenko as pundits , don't expect that there will be a change in the commentators or pits interviewers Scott Nicholls is good on TV as is his wife but please not Sam Straightaway Ermolenko. He talks confused garbage most of the time and is bias towards certain riders. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Science Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Saw UEFA this week were moaning that peak audiences for footballs Champions League matches that they have sold exclusively to BT sport were only reaching 200,000 ,not giving sponsors the exposure they desired,and that they may have made a mistake selling simply to the highest bidder,Think this may be the case for speedway with less people watching the GP,SWC than ever on TV,although BSI probably had less options on TV rights than UEFA.

Woz01 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) That cant be right as all my twitter feed last night was the PSG-Chelsea game! Edit. The 200,000 was on BT Sport showcase, a free to air channel. Didnt even know that existed! Edited February 18, 2016 by woz01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMcCaffery Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 And the face of BT Sport's speedway coverage is...... Suzi Perry!

Star Lady Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Her tweet said she will be hosting a couple of events so my guess is Cardiff and the SWC. The other GPs could well depend on where she is in the world doing Moto GP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviresco Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Her tweet said she will be hosting a couple of events so my guess is Cardiff and the SWC. The other GPs could well depend on where she is in the world doing Moto GP. 5 (Prague, Malilla, Teterow, Stockholm & Melbourne) of the 11 SGP weekends clash with MotoGP weekends, so she will be limited to what she can cover - although the Australian MotoGP is at Philip Island on the same weekend as the closing SGP at the Etihad, so she may be able to multi-task that one...

RobMcCaffery Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 What has to be borne in mind is that BT have studio review, highlights and analysis shows during the week. It could be hoped that speedway will get a look-in even as part of the Moto GP coverage. There have been cut-backs though and a lot of the studio shows trimmed sadly. Congratulations to perkdon for posting that vitally important piece of nastiness about her. That kind of attitude will help the sport's relationship with BT superbly!

SCB Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Wasn't it Suzi Perry who said Speedway was boring when she thought she had 'made it'? I doubt it. She was a Wolves fan before becoming the Sky bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of attitude will help the sport's relationship with BT superbly! Yes because BT Sport are scouring this forum as we speak to gauge whether there has been any "nasty" comments about her. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 JUST because she has joined BT Sport doesn't necessarily mean she will have much in any involvement with speedway and certainly won't be the regular studio anchor alongside Scott Nicholls.

screm Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 JUST because she has joined BT Sport doesn't necessarily mean she will have much in any involvement with speedway and certainly won't be the regular studio anchor alongside Scott Nicholls. Absolutely, Suzi Perry was the main presenter on the BBC`s coverage of F1 and Moto GP, you`d think her main role will be coverage of the Moto GP on BT Sport and do the occasional SGP when Moto GP allows. A positive move though IMO for BT Sport getting someone like Perry invloved with speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
