ITV Sport & Media

I'm not a huge fan of ITV sport if i'm honest, basically their sporting content now consists entirely of football as they no longer have Formula One, have given up on boxing and never really got into cricket. To start with their boxing coverage used to be excellent with the versatile Jim Rosenthal hosting and with summary from Reg Gutteridge it was great Saturday night television, unfortunately we can only see Boxing on PPV channels now which will affect future generations in watching the sport. Anyway back to the football, ITV has always been seen as a slightly more flashy, cheaper version of BBC football, I have to admit I do love the Champions ...  Read the complete review

Having spent time abroad for many years and just recently been back to Uk on a trip I must say that ITV coverage of F1 race is better than most. Although I personally have nothing to do with F1, my husband's family have been involved with it in a serious way for many years and it was and still is a religion to watch the race. I went back to Uk two weeks ago and had to watch the race - Spanish GP as it was the weekend ritual and there was no way of getting out of it unless you went in another room but then that was looked at as you weren't interested or you were sulking. So at 4pm we had dinner. Very nice it was too. The inlaws had ...  Read the complete review

why does itv feel that they have to put so many adverts into the formula one they don't do it to football you can always garantee that there will be adverts right at the vital point in the race, i prefered it when the motor racing was with bbc cause you get fuller better coverage instead of haveing a interupted race, if itv paid as much attention to the formula one as they did to football then they would have more users of there service please itv sort it out ...  Read the complete review

Before we had Sky Digital installed, I used to watch I.T.V. fairly regularly, but these days I only ever watch it at other people's houses! I suppose part of the reason why I don't watch it is that we don't have a TV aerial on the roof, meaning that to get I.T.V. in our area (dodgy TV reception at best)it means I have to faff about with one of those mini aerial thingies (or the bent coat hanger that serves as one for the TV upstairs!). And to be honest, there is nothing currently showing on I.T.V. that inspires me enough to undertake the, er, faffing! (Although I may well re-think for the next series of 'Bad Girls', great programme that!) ...  Read the complete review

ITV has been given a lot of stick over its coverage of Formula 1 by the fans, including myself. The number of adverts during the qualifying and the race is far too many, and often occurs during moments we wish to see. However, you can't blame ITV for doing this, races are unpredictable. The drivers can hardly radio the commentators and say, "Hold on, I'm just about to crash, don't go to an advert break," can they? I've given up complaining about the advert breaks, it just isn't worth it, it's going to happen anyway. What really gets on my nerves is when we don't get shown the press conferences. Why? Coronation Street, that's why. ...  Read the complete review
