Eurosport fails to show Olympia Horse Show
Follow @mediaukdiscussI’m disgusted that eurosport is not showing the scheduled live Olympia horse show tonight and with no apologies
I agree! I am totally outraged! And it is not the first time they have done this with showjumping! Appears not to have happend in the Republic of Ireland?! I don’t know what everyone else got to see but I got an hour of adverts and reviews with very bad music! Totally unacceptable especially given that we had two riders in the Rolex Top Ten at the moment and London 2012 round the corner!
Not good Eurosport!
The feeble excuse offered by the commentator that “the snooker had over-run” was a complete fabrication too – the first hour that should have been the Santa Stakes LIVE was taken up with the “filler” of motorcycle crashes etc and waffle about the Olympics. Just giving us the jump-off is NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Tonight (Sunday) you couldn’t even start the broadcast on time – we missed the first four riders!
SORT YOURSELVES OUT, EUROSPORT. It’s great that you are broadcasting Olympia but please stick to your schedules!!!
This isn’t the first time eurosport has scheduled to broadcast showjumping ( in this case Olympia) and then simply not bother to show it or explain why not. I find this totally unacceptable and unprofessional. Apart from anything eurosport has just wasted 45 minutes of our time flipping channels incase there was some kind of delay. Thanks Eurosport!
