With 4 tracks running you would think that TVG would have at least one on air host today. They keep cutting back then they bitch and scream about how horse racing is not what it use to be.
Maybe just maybe TVG is also part of the problem.

That isn't really rare for a Monday/Tuesday.

or, they put hosts on and people "bitch and scream" about the picks, how juvenile they act, etc. I think when players are losing, they just like to "bitch and scream".
:D I think you right Jimbo.
Empty chairs and muzak rule!

Anyone getting a screen that says TVG is moving to a new satellite transponder on Wednesday July 1. Please contact your cable system customer support and request they make the switch so you can continue receiving TVG network on this channel. It keeps popping up and its super annoying.

I've had it on intermittently today and haven't seen that. (DishNetwork)

Have Time Warner. When I contacted them they said they already took care of it. Don't think that is the case since I'm still seeing it here and there.

I didn't watch today. Was Rich not on? He's usually there on Mon. and Tues. until around 2 p.m. central and then they do the music for 1-2 hours.

This post is in the dictionary next to the definition of "irony".

They might not be part of the problem, but they were never part of the solution.

Yes, Shelby, Rich was on today.

If he was on, he was gone long before the fifth race at Delaware.

I guess I was watching starting around 1:00pm eastern. I remember Rich loved the breeding of Man of Blues - a first-time starter in Race 3 at Delaware. Rich also spent some time raving about the colt's trainer - Thomas Proctor. When Mr. Perloff was finished his pitch, Man of Blues sang the blues finishing fifth at 4-5. :)
Anyway, I just checked and Race 3 at Delaware went off at 2:16pm in the east on Monday. I went out shortly thereafter.

If he praised Man of Blue's breeding, he is correct. At least two of his siblings were 6 figure earners that won their initial start.
I would never listen to a television commentator regularly though. There's nothing to learn from them, unless you just started following racing recently.
*sometimes I listen to the NYRA prerace show.

For years, TVG and HRTV have gone with no host on Monday's and Tuesday's..

With more tracks running on Mon. & Tues, maybe it is time for TVG to re-evaluate.
They fired one of their better host in Gino Buccola, bring him back and let him do Monday's & Tuesday's. The very least is that Gino was entertaining to listen to.
It appears that the TVG is designed to appeal more to beginners and perhaps the coveted younger generation that is just as concerned with having hosts entertain them as with expert selection advice.

If you really believe this, then TVG truly can't win because for a decade I've read people here asking for just the tracks and no idiot hosts. Now they don't have the hosts and you want the host back. Can't please everyone.

if Gino wouldn't have appealed to the newer, younger generation of players, none of the other hosts will, except maybe the girl hosts.

elhelmete is correct. Gino left to pursue other interests...his words.
Exactorman used to be on Monday/Tuesday nights, but never on camera. His avatar was the Unknown Comic.. :D
