@SW18,

Thanks you for the response.

Now that I had the opportunity to watch the first three episodes, i'm convinced that the format and content of Racing Today does not give the industry bang for its buck.

Is this the best product the we as an industry can come up with, AFTER 6 MONTHS OF PLANNING, to spark the interest of non-racing folk? What are the demographics of your target audience and what market studies have you undertaken to deliver a tailored Racing Today product that has appeal to your target audience?

WHAT ARE YOU SOLVING FOR? If it's to increase turnovers in the industry, this ain't going to move the needle at all.

Well I have read this thread and we are just starting. Remember the object is to bring a new audience on board. It has been over 20 years since the SABC has shown horseracing. That generation has had no exposure. If we can ignite the interest in a new audience the job will be well done.
I am working with some talented people with vision and am convinced 4racing TV has the wherewithal to attract a new breed of race goer.
Remember Racing Today is a magazine show which will educate watchers about horse racing.

.....cant watch this as the sound is shocking right out of the gate.....sounds like Racing240 production in earlier days.....how this was passed for on air viewership is frightening..... now the picture has frozen(looks very familiar)... but now we're back with no sound ..... now the glitch is fixed..... but we are half way through the show....has undone any chance of picking up an audience ....as the few are flicking through the channels looking for something else to watch.....:sick:

@Muthiman,

You are in the wrong time zone. WTF Bru!

This show is pitched exclusively for for Fossils that have been waiting for Racing Today on SABC for over 30 years! The very same target audience has been waiting for the re-run of the Epilogue. Racing Today has won this contest!

The target audience has not wagered a cent since the Epilogue waiting for 4Q to arrive with this cutting edge marketing genius of a move.

.....yeah gone back in time to see what I could do with some donated FTA decoders and a DSTV dish....ESKOM is also to blame as during load shedding cannot get 5G signal to stream Netflix Showmax etc... l but can only watch FTA with current power back up....and as a result have discovered some viewing on FTA channels that we missed on DSTV some 2 years ago....but I digress....I now am able to watch and commentate the SABC Sport experience and give input on the show.....and tell it like it is....but at this pace they are going to run out of ideas by month end ..:whistle:

@ Muthiman,

This lot is a prime example of a bunch of legends that are convinced they are on cloud 9 while in reality their heads are buried firmly into the sand!

Incompetence personified - this is not a surprise surprise moment - When your technical team cannot implement a split screen in a few minutes - but its takes months, you know you backing the wrong horse!

From the onset the telltale signs were there for all to see that this Racing 240 team was a bunch of tarts ([strike]Re[/strike])

I was watching eNews (Channel 403) a few minutes ago and they were addressing the -

"IMPACT OF NATURAL DISASTERS ON WOMEN"

Could the phenomenon of "4Q and Racing 240" qualify as a natural disaster? It would be an insurable event that all Women Breeders, Owners, Trainers, et al in the industry to potentially claim from their insurers for the losses suffered at the hands of these wizards.

4Q and Racing 240 has to be an act of god because nobody is going to take responsibility for this disaster!
