Chamberlin moves closer
to ITV Racing switch
BY LEE MOTTERSHEAD 2:30PM 18 MAY 2016
THE final stumbling block to Ed Chamberlin becoming the new face of horseracing on ITV has been removed as it is understood Tuesday evening's match between Manchester United and Bournemouth was his last for Sky.

The Racing Post revealed last month Chamberlin was ITV's number-one target to take on the coveted role anchoring its racing output when Britain's principal commercial network takes over from Channel 4 on January 1.

For that to happen Chamberlin needed to leave Sky, for which he has worked as principal football presenter having first appeared on its programming 16 years ago.

ITV Sport bosses have been seeing a large number of potential recruits in recent weeks with Francesca Cumani, Oli Bell and Matt Chapman among those believed to be high on the wishlist of the sport's next exclusive mainstream broadcaster, which will show nearly 100 days of racing across ITV and ITV4 in 2017.

No mention of Gok either. Worrying times.

 

What's a Gok?

 

Didn't Richard Willoughby get the Editor job there, he does a lot for RUK so I'd expect many of them to pop up with him.

Thank **** there's no Clare Balding, leave all that C4 team out on grass if possible.

 

I know Chapman isn't everbody's cup of tea but at least he wont sit on the fence like McGrath & Cunningham do.

 

I don't know this Ed Chamberlin chap. Is he good?

 

Would love chappers to get the gig. Finally ask some questions that dont result in the same answer every time

 

Non controversial.. is the sort of dull as dishwater type IMO from being on Sky

 

Sadly, we seem to be in a time where society as a whole is being pushed and coerced into being politically correct about absolute everything. The right to Free Speech is diminishing apparently. Madness if you ask me. We need strong voices, regardless of if we agree or not, it creates conversation and debate. What a dull, dull world it would be if we all agreed on the same things.

Fully agree with Ed, he won't offend and will be as polite as possible, leaving the public with no answers, only when you put someone out of their comfort zone will you get emotion and a proper response from them.

 

It's Matt Chapman then STH

 

How about the Not606 racing channel ???

Let's start crowd funding now!!!

 

They must surely find space for Allistair Down.

 

Get macririck everyone loves the fat oaff!

 

Barney curley?

 

Kris Marshall would brighten it up

 

as a dynamic duo with Luke Harvey?

 

There are too many straight white people being nominated for the liking of TV executives. Clare Balding ticked so many boxes batting for the other team and smoking cigars. If only she were black.

I am sure that it will take little time teaching Ed Chamberlin one end of a horse from the other. They managed it with Rishi Persad. Not sure how “Listen, Ed...” works though.

 

yeah gaz --that is a funny clip-!!
