A-Cup TV Coverage

Flipping channels on Friday and came across the OLN America's show from ACT 12. Two points to make:
* Tucker Thompson of t2p.tv did an outstanding job as a commentator. This is his first gig for OLN (I believe), and can certainly be looked upon as his big break. He has a good voice, and does not "dumb-down" his comments. I am glad that OLN recognized his quality work, and have signed him up for the team that will cover the America's Cup in 2007.

* The TV coverage should focus on the top boats. In this event, the qualifying round divided the fleet into three divisions, and each division than had its own championship. With the video footage spliced and diced, it became distracting to keep hearing about how the "losing teams" were still playing. I think it is great that there become competition for all the teams - as the ACTS are intended to help for training - but keep have the TV coverage following the better teams toward the only prize that really matters... the winning of Division 1 at ACT 12.
