Best TV Speedway Broadcaster.

Well my choice is obviously very biased but it was Sky’s production followed by BT both of whom were very professional and forward thinking with their production with Sky making it HD, Jib cameras, Kerb cams,multiple slow mo’s then BT took over and made it a UHD production 

However this came at a cost with each Sky meeting production costing the same as what Eurosport spend for 5 UK meetings.

There simply is no budget for UK racing everything is done using the cheapest option possible for example they use a lot of University students who  are looking for unpaid experience that’s why we get some dodgy camera work and editing, vision mixing . 
 

The Sky production was normally a 15-18  main cameras and 2 slo mo plus 2-3 radio cameras while Eurosport is 4 main cameras plus 1-2 radio camera they don’t even pay the OB provider for lighting for presentation and instead Mr Morris brings his battery flood lights.

Who knows when the contract is up for renewal again Sky may be interested as would now be a good fit for the Sky Sports + channel and is a good filler when no Football

Canal sport are by far the best for their speedway coverage, not just for live meetings either, their documentaries and magazine programme about speedway are excellent, they are followed by BSN then eleven sport, Eurosport are to speedway what jive bunny were to music
