We're about an hour away from the start of the tv broadcast (6 pm ET) and less than 2 hours away from the first race (6:42 pm ET). A long intro I assume to introduce the fans to the series and try to make it look big.

Honestly, I’m 10% interested in the races today, 90% interested in the crowd size, production quality, how they are going to fill 100min of program when there is only around 30min of actual running happening across 8 events. Genuinely intrigued how it’s going to look.

There is 9 hours of coverage for 24 races and 16 of those races last under 1 minute.
Let the snoozefest begin.
They'll need to follow the Athlos mold - lots of interviews and views of the crowd. Athlos had 7:49 of racing in one hour, forty minutes of TV time. 8% racing, 92% down time.

Sure, because baseball and football are non-stop action compared to track & field. Give me a break. I've been to a baseball game in my life. 11 innings for a final score of 1-0. Never been back. I'll give you this, track & field in the US is tops at one thing: having the cheapest, whiniest 'fans' of all sports.

I've never watched a football game where they run 1 play, then interview the top players in that play, pan the audience, hype the crowd, cut to commercial and then run another play and if there was such a thing, I would not watch it.

Yes they need to use replay and analysis way better than other track broadcasts. Sure interviews will fill some time but think of football where an analyst is heavily leaned on to break down what you just saw. The global DL broadcast works cuz it has field events to fill. Here you’ll need breakdowns, interviews and debates. The maze of rights is one I hope they can navigate.

When you've got the entire podium from last year's Olympic men's 1500m doing battle against the Olympic 800m gold and silver medalists, you don't need to try to make it look big. It's already big.
After months of talking about GST as a concept, I'm excited to finally see it!
Only locals will be there and only locals that care about track. Ain't nobody going to Kingston for 3 days in April to get robbed and fleeced. They have been delulu from jump about this GST nonsense.
