I've always watched it on Europsport of Discovery but the wife isn't happy as she doesn't like Orla (not her greatest fan either but I like the others)

I like Orla but dislike the commentary, and the highlights package is by far inferior to ITV4. That’s generally what I watch.

I like Orla and generally enjoy the commentary, although I'm not a fan of Blythe. The massive advantage for me is no ad breaks. I don't watch the highlights packages, but do catchup on some YouTube channels, and generally watch one or two even if I have seen the race live.

If the highlights continue on ITV4 I'll be OK with that. Pete / David / Ned are great on comms and analysis, Imlach is just superb. Apparently the deal is only for the live broadcast, highlights packages are still TBC. My only problem with the highlights is staying away from the result until 7-8pm, which isn't so much that I'm too tight to pay to watch and more the practical reality of supposed to be doing work when the races are on! |

They do a lot at times of year when ITV doesn't have the coverage, and Ned does a lot of World Feed commentary, so there may be some NSF to promote their other stuff.

How long have we actually had fta live tdf? It feels like it is relatively recent anyway, though the highlights show has been a bit of a permanent fixture?
