I was watching some of the coverage last night on BBC3, and unfortunately it was completely spoiled by all the talking between showing any action from the festival itself. It was the same with the Glastonbury coverage, a few songs followed by about 10 minutes of the presenters yabbering on about inane rubbish before showing the next couple of songs.

This seems to be what happens with TV coverage of live events nowadays (sport included), there is more time spent talking about it than actually showing the event they are talking about.

C4's coverage of BSB is the worst, not only is it on several days after the event, not only is it on at ridiculous o'clock in the morning, but out of an hour's coverage there is only about 20 minutes of actual racing action shown.
