thedailymirror--2020-05-29--Racing is "sleepwalking into a crisis" warns Ed Chamberlin as TV talks stall

Ed Chamberlin warned racing is “ sleepwalking into a crisis ” as the threat of losing its terrestrial coverage continues to hang menacingly over the sport .
Chamberlin left his lead football presenter role at Sky to front ITV Racing when the broadcaster took over as the sport ’ s network partner at the start of 2017 .
On the back of buoyant audience numbers and industry recognition - including a BAFTA for its 2017 Grand National show - ITV was widely expected to secure a second term when the four-year deal expires at the end of this year .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the contract to run , talks with Jockey Club CEO Delia Bushell - formerly chief commercial officer at Sky Italia before spending three years at BT Sport ’ s managing director - are stalled at an impasse .
“ I ’ m really worried , ” said Chamberlin , whose former bosses at Sky Sports are waiting in the wings .
“ Sports TV deals are normally finalised a year in advance , at least .
“ I was stupid and naïve in thinking , because everything had gone so well - our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had won a few awards - I would be announcing a new ITV deal on January 1 2019 .
“ And yet , here we are - 18 months later - and there is no agreement .
And we are in the middle of a global pandemic .
“ I feel there is a real danger that horseracing is sleepwalking into a crisis.
” Frankie Dettori ’ s Gold Cup day four-timer at Royal Ascot last June attracted a peak ITV viewership of 1.4million - the meeting ’ s highest figure for seven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 66,000 watched on Sky Sports Racing and Chamberlin believes interest in racing - and with it revenue - will plummet if it chooses to sever network links for the first time .
“ Racing is a sport that relies on sponsorship , ” he added .
“ Eyeballs are so important .
“ The importance of terrestrial television is summed up by the announcement in the last 24 hours that Premier League football has four free-to-air matches on the BBC next month .
“ Yet racing already has more than 90 days on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the opportunity to keep that going , in recent months it has seemed willing to give that up .
“ I find that - and I ’ m using these words in the context of our racing world rather than in a wider sense - staggering and alarming.
” Chamberlin admits the coronavirus lockdown has been “ frustrating ” - but took on a new perspective as a result of events early on April 4 .
“ I moped and felt sorry for myself on Grand National morning , ” he revealed .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ do , with 10million people in this country and hundreds of millions of people worldwide .
“ Then I looked out of my window and I saw two nurses going to work at Southampton General .
“ I gave myself a right kick up the arse and said , ‘ Do n't be so stupid !
’ ” Nobody could accuse ITV of failing to get behind racing ’ s restart - the broadcaster will show no fewer than 21 races , including the 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket , live over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2,000 Guineas will never have a bigger platform than this because it ’ s pretty much got the sporting landscape to itself for the first time in a lifetime , ” said Chamberlin .
“ It will never happen again .
“ We always promised on ITV - again , showing our commitment to the sport - that when racing said it was ready , and the government said it was good to go , that we 'd be ready .
“ Racing is never going to have a better opportunity to sell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The action is going to be absolutely sensational .

“I’m really worried,” said Chamberlin, whose former bosses at Sky Sports are waiting in the wings. “Sports TV deals are normally finalised a year in advance, at least.
“I was stupid and naïve in thinking, because everything had gone so well - our viewing figures were excellent, obviously we had won a few awards - I would be announcing a new ITV deal on January 1 2019.
“And yet, here we are - 18 months later - and there is no agreement. And we are in the middle of a global pandemic.
“I feel there is a real danger that horseracing is sleepwalking into a crisis.”

Frankie Dettori’s Gold Cup day four-timer at Royal Ascot last June attracted a peak ITV viewership of 1.4million - the meeting’s highest figure for seven years.
By contrast, just over 66,000 watched on Sky Sports Racing and Chamberlin believes interest in racing - and with it revenue - will plummet if it chooses to sever network links for the first time.
“Racing is a sport that relies on sponsorship,” he added. “Eyeballs are so important.
“Without eyeballs, you’re struggling.
“The importance of terrestrial television is summed up by the announcement in the last 24 hours that Premier League football has four free-to-air matches on the BBC next month.
“Yet racing already has more than 90 days on terrestrial television and, rather than grabbing the opportunity to keep that going, in recent months it has seemed willing to give that up.
“I find that - and I’m using these words in the context of our racing world rather than in a wider sense - staggering and alarming.”
Chamberlin admits the coronavirus lockdown has been “frustrating” - but took on a new perspective as a result of events early on April 4.
“I moped and felt sorry for myself on Grand National morning,” he revealed. “That is the biggest thing I do, with 10million people in this country and hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
“Then I looked out of my window and I saw two nurses going to work at Southampton General.
“I gave myself a right kick up the arse and said, ‘Don't be so stupid!’”
Nobody could accuse ITV of failing to get behind racing’s restart - the broadcaster will show no fewer than 21 races, including the 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket, live over three days next weekend.
“The 2,000 Guineas will never have a bigger platform than this because it’s pretty much got the sporting landscape to itself for the first time in a lifetime,” said Chamberlin. “It will never happen again.
“We always promised on ITV - again, showing our commitment to the sport - that when racing said it was ready, and the government said it was good to go, that we'd be ready.
“Racing is never going to have a better opportunity to sell the thrill to new people.
“The action is going to be absolutely sensational.”

Officers slammed Boris Johnson's decision to announce the easing of lockdown rules from Monday ahead of the weekend when temperatures are set to soar to 25C for most parks of the UK
Police forces across the country have urged people to stick to lockdown guidelines after a surge of crowds flocking to parks and beaches caused chaos on railways.
Officers pleaded with people to take the guidelines seriously and slammed Boris Johnson's decision to announce Monday's easing of lockdown rules ahead of the weekend when temperatures are set to soar to 25C.
A surge in passengers led to "chaos" on rail services to Bournemouth today, The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union said.
The union blamed "mixed messaging from the Government" and said Cross Country had been forced to try and find additional fleet to cope with the increased passenger numbers.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "The hopeless mixed messaging from the Government and the impact of the Cummings affair has resulted in predictable chaos on the railway today with Bournemouth at the eye of the storm."

Devon and Cornwall police also said they had seen a rise in people travelling into the region to stay overnight - despite the South West region now having the highest R (0.9) in the country.
Crowds were also seen across London flouting lockdown rules by flocking to parks, beaches and riversides as the official death toll surpassed 38,000.
The UK's official coronavirus hospital death toll has risen to 30,736 today as 183 more die, with the total figure across all settings today yet to come.
It's expected that more and more people will be out enjoying the sun from Monday, when the new rules come in, which includes allowing up to six people to meet up in outdoor spaces - including private gardens.
