Clare Balding : Mon Aug 13, 2012 4:37 pm  
I see she is going to Channel 4 to head up the racing.

Anyone know if that means she has left the beeb all together? Obviously she won't be doing the racing, but as RL on the been is usually on a Sat i take it she won't be leading the RL any more?

Nice article about her in Saturday's Independent regarding her rise as a "national treasure" in terms of sports presenting, albeit no mention of her RL involvement.

Gutting if she is. She deserves recognition for what she has done for RL, even if Steve Rider et al set a low bar for her to hop over.

The Guardian website suggests that she is exclusive to Ch4, until 2016,in terms of presenting racing coverage but is free to present other things on other channels.

Re: Clare Balding : Mon Aug 13, 2012 6:51 pm  
I hope she can still do the RL coverage for the BeeB personally i think she`s done a very good job .
From knowing very little about RL She now seems to be quite Knowledgeable and sings the praises of the Game. :thumb:

Doubt everything, even this

Re: Clare Balding : Mon Aug 13, 2012 6:54 pm  
She's a freelancer, rather than a BBC employee, so presumably able to do stuff for more than one channel ....

I think you are all missing the main thing here. Channel 4's big day is Saturday so there is no way she will be doing RL for the beeb on a Saturday, freelance or not.
