Felt exceedingly odd we didn’t have a thread here for this.
Obviously Supercars is produced by themselves but fits best here (or occasionally Seven).
The new Supercars broadcast has been unveiled:
In short:
- Richard Craill, Matt Naulty, and Chad Neylon are sharing lead play-ply-play duties. They will have rostered sprint races, and rotate during endurance races.
- Garth Tander is the new lead analyst.
- Mark Winterbottom and James Courtney are additional analysts, and will form three-man commentary teams for select events.
- Neil Crompton has formally declined his reduced opportunity, and Mark Skaife has a new role for Fox.
There are also new graphics, 4K UHD broadcasts, and live team radio.

The new, bespoke custom graphics package doesn’t just look better
Everything they’ve released so far looks very similar to last year…
This quote caught my eye:
“4K Ultra High Definition, produced in High Dynamic Range, meets the highest-standard global broadcast, bringing the mighty Supercars machines to life on screen.”
So does that mean Foxtel will finally roll out HDR UHD content on IQ 4&5 and Kayo..? (not holding my breath

I wonder who the NRL commentator they were enquiring about.
I think it’s a bit of a slap in the face to Neil who’s been leading the coverage for a long time, very informative as well.
The positive is the promotion of Neylon, Craig and Naulty who in particular I rate very highly.
I think the thing with single-sport single-network threads is that they all have a level of involvement into the output, don’t they?
There’s a team of hosts, comms, graphics, and stuff like that.
Fox has a huge stockpile of motorsport events but AFAIK they couldn’t claim such for really any. I mean, there’s F1/2/3, Indy NXT, NASCAR, MotoGP, Supercars, and the list goes on, which are all outside prods.

We can also talk about of Foxtel’s coverage of other motorsports here, even though they are outside productions.
