Channing talks. And talks. And talks. And talks......
The 2 hour segment was split into 2 x 1 hour distinct halves, the first being the Aintree Meet generally, exclusing the Grand National. That'll be, as I stated above, 11am Thursday.
The 2nd Hour ONLY, which was devoted to the Grand National ONLY, will be shown on both Friday & Saturday. I don't have the times to hand at present, but will Post them later today, or tomorrow morning.

More people than in any previous Show have asked me when the repeat of the Grand National Betting Preview will be.
It was a 2 hour segment, & will be repeated, in full, at 11am this morning. (Thursday).
Mr Channing will be on the Channel again NEXT Tuesday, in the Live Show, doing the "US Masters Betting Preview". This will be a ONE HOUR segment.
Fingers crossed, he'll remain in the Studio all evening, & do some more poker analysis. His poker analysis is spectacularly good, imo.
In reply to another question, no, there will NOT be a Guineas Meeting Betting Preview Show.
It's a balance thing, not everyone enjoys these Betting Previews, so a common-sense & balanced approach is needed.
After next Tuesday's US Masters Show, I believe the next scheduled one will probably be Royal Ascot. It's possible (I don't know for sure) there will be one for the Football World Cup, too.
Also scheduled, for the Autumn, will be an NFL version, before the season starts.
For those who wanted to see/hear Neil's Poker analysis from Tuesday's Show, there will be several repeats, the first being.....
5pm Thursday (today).
Will these be added to any youtube-style site available on demand or is it ch861 only?
Would great if they are as the Channing episodes of the show are always fantastic, probably the best guest the channel gets (my opinion only).
Was a schoolboy error when I left Sky TV without checking I'd still be able get my TV poker fix.
Obviously there was a small matter of a champions league game Tuesday so many people could not watch live.
Please if any1 knows (Sky team/ Tikay) exact times the shows will be repeated could you post on here.
Would be massively appreciated.
Good to see Neil will be back on Tuesday, I''ve already gone big on Donald for the masters. 50/1 !!!!
LUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
The Grand National Hour will be repeated tomorrow and Saturday, but I don't have the TX times to hand. I'll try & post them tomorrow morning though.
Obviously an error was made when i signed up and this name was not intended !
Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the national hour.
The Grand National Betting Preview Hour will be repeated again.......
Today, Friday 4th April, @ 1pm, (1300) & 8pm, (2000).
Tomorrow (Saturday), 9am (0900) & 1pm (1300).
He does have some other business interests though, notably Betting Emporium, which he wants to concentrate on for a while.
Would he join Sky Poker? At present, no, I very much doubt that. It IS, possible, however, that he'll do a bit more poker analysis for us in the coming months, & discussions as to that are taking place already.
It's amazing how much positive feedback there has been to Neil's poker analysis, & I've fuelled that fire, too, so I need to confess to a slight conflict of interest, in that he & I are very good friends, & I'm a huge fan of how he does poker analyis, & I've also benefitted personally from his help & advice in many areas.
I cashed in two (from three) WSOP PLO8 events in the last 2 years, Channing was on "my rail" from start to finish, as he knows all the players, & he marked my card as to every player on every table for me, & also gave me a lot of advice & support. He must have spent 20 hours railing me & offering advice to me.
On one particular table, I was getting "run over" by better players, & I did not quite know how to handle them. Channing worked out that my Table would "break" very soon, & said "sit out, don't play a hand, your Table will break before you have to post your next BB". PLO8 plays pleasantly slowly, but 15 minutes later, I was still sat there, & now it was time to Post by BB, so in went my chips, with a sigh. At that VERY moment, "Floor" arrived with chip trays, "Dealer, don't deam, this table is breaking".
As soon as I went to my next Table, Channing called me across. "Seat 2 is awful, plays any 4, seat 6 is a low-chaser, he's easy to play, Seat 8 only plays A-A-2-x" etc,
So yes, I'm a bit biased.
Fingers crossed, (it's not my decision of course) we'll try & get SPT Rich to do the NFL Show. He is sheer genius @ NFL.
The Show ended @ midnight, & by the time I'd driven home, & cooked a bit of dinner, it was 2am when I got to bed.
I was back in the office @ 6am on Wednesday, & the very first thing I did was write a long note to the Head of Channel, the Producer, & the Leeds Top Suits, imploring them to use Channing more for poker analysis.
They don't take much (any?) notice of me these days, I send them notes galore, lol, but I did get two encouraging replies, & now the ball is back in my court to try & move it forward, which I am on with. There are all sorts of internal politics to respect - these decisions don't sit with me, they are none of my business really - but I'm doing what I can to lobby them to do what I believe is the correct thing. In fact they agree, but it's just a question of how we overcome certain situations.
Fingers crossed.
