They have contracts to fulfill; it'll be the same team for another year or so.

Same old same old. 

https://www.supermotocross.com/nbc-sports-and-smx-announce-2026-smx-broadcast-schedule/ 

The 2026 SMX commentary team will consist of Leigh Diffey and Jason Weigandt as play-by-play, 15-time AMA champion Ricky Carmichael and five-time AMA champion James Stewart as analysts, and Will Christien and former veteran racer Jason Thomas as reporters.

Race Day Live will cover all regular and postseason races of the Monster Energy SMX World Championship Series exclusively on Peacock. Former racers Justin Brayton and Adam Cianciarulo will serve as hosts of the pre-race program while Steven “Lurch” Scott and Haley Shanley join as reporters. Katie Osborne will join Shanley, Christien, and Thomas on a rotating schedule during the Pro Motocross season as reporters.

They need to get a commentator with a Red Dirt, Oklahoma oil patch, half Cowboy, half hillbilly hick accent like I have.  Ya’ll would be begging for RC back lol.

The thread would go 50 pages min!

I feel like Ralph and Leigh are bad for different reasons. Ralph had bad commentary, but he would get excited when things were happening on the track. Leigh has better commentary, but seems indifferent to what's happening.

When I take over…

In the booth…

MC, DC, AC, JS7 & DV12, & Hannah…all in the booth…Open Bar…no holds. On select occasions… guests like Kimi Raikkonen, AC222, Roger D, Danny LaPorte, Troy Lee, Chad Reed, RC, Don Emler, Mitch Payton…& other greats from our sport and those who know and love it. Again…open bar…no holds. 

On the ground: Blair, Weege and Erin Bates. GL on occasion (he’s NOT allowed in the booth!)
 

On-track laps explored live from the bike: Dean Wilson. 

Producers: Cameron Steele, Jeff Emig, Andrew Short

Director: Kevin Ward

Cinematographer/DoP: Jimmy Lee Cook

Between races, the booth has to cover “The Industry, The Season & The Riders” like a really good “Half-time show” during the regular NFL season. They gotta hash it out, have opinions…be well informed and be hilariously entertaining.

Taylor Sheridan’s production company will be in-charge of the trucks/equipment and production “hardware” requirements.

Side note - the broadcasts starting at 7est mostly is the worst for those at live events on PST. Going to A1 and seeing opening ceremonies during the daylight is a drag. I get why they do it and all, but major sports start at 8-9 EST all the time.

Oh great. The 1,000th thread bitchin  about commentators. This forum should change its name from Vital MX to Vital Commentating.

Who gives a fuck? I'm here for the racing. If you want to listen to broadcast excellence go watch Golf or Baseball ir some dipshit sport that journalism majors actually give a shit about.

If we HAVE to have an Aussie in the booth, could they at least get Ozzy Man.

Don't forget about David Bailey

RC has to go... he's been doing it for many years now and has shown no sign of improvement on the broadcast. He is bad at this job. I can't believe they keep putting him in the booth. 

It's very weird that NBC is supposedly putting in all this money into the sport and they keep a very bad analyst and a very bad producer to showcase their investment. 

Well NBC is the one who made these decisions and if you think about how unsuccessful NBC has been over the last decade it really isn’t surprising at all.

Sports broadcasting and journalism are two very different things.

I hope the broadcast team is exactly the same next year I like RC, Diffey, Will and the guest commentators they get. Added bonus knowing existing broadcast team pisses off 90% of the whinging fans is icing on the cake 😎

I would pay to get DV12 in the booth for at least  one race.
