They announced the broadcast partnership for YEARS to come.
So exciting. I can't wait for more of this amazing broadcast. For years, you say?
I just sobbed.

watching the local broadcast - they used to leave the race on screen muted side by side with whatever ad they were running. it was great, not sure why they would stop doing it. advertisers demands?

Calling it now: Conner Mantz is running 2:04 today.
Chase pack is running for second, so there might be some wait & see tactics until late in the race. I don't think he stays under 2:05.

The patriot power generator ad guy sounds like he has mike Smith fake accent

Meh, that's unfair of me. Let's just say that critiquing bad marathon coverage is something we do and have been doing for years. All those "heartwarming" sidebars that often take up the first hour of coverage.
In this case: no mile splits on screen, no mile cues at all.

Thank you. So Mantz has a chance...
Not many seconds to spare, so little room for error on Mantz's part for absolute time. He seems in better shape than Hall was though re: tailwind for Hall.
Hall didn't have super shoes tho

Serious question for those who know might have any idea about broadcasting...Why is the coverage so bad for an event like this and yet an event like UTMB held in the mountains of France it can be crystal clear? I know one is Broadcast TV (Boston) and one is Internet Streaming (UTMB), but is that really the difference?
UTMB has an incentive to make their own product look good.
ESPN the local station don't own the Boston Marathon, so they're in it for the ad revenue, and if they can get away with crappy coverage to increase the margin on this product, why not?

Let's hope the broadcast shows the second, third, fourth, fifth runners finish, instead of Korir hugging his wife, kids, coach, tribe, and sponsors for ten minutes.

Mantz is going to break Hall’s record. Incredible!

We've been asking this same question for most of the American majors for the past two decades.
Well, why isn't Rojo/Wejo/Gault/Someone asking this to these marathon organizers? Like you would think someone would bring it up or are they all afraid to get their media credentials taken away?

This coverage is always such trash, maybe one year the BAA will wake up and have a proper coverage of the run. Having channel 5 Boston run the race is such a hokey, hometown move, let an actual team that appreciates running and knows what it's doing cover the race.

Ouf. I was worried for a while. They showed Mantz for 10 seconds. Glad they cut out
