Peacock adding enhancements that may allow fans to mute announcers

I'm down for that👍

That would be excellent!

I love when they go to commercial and the announcers stop talking and you just hear the bikes...I would watch the whole race that way

Can they make it where we can mute certain announcers but still hear the ones we like? 
No offense leigh diffey. 

I think it's a pretty easy implementation with AC-4, as the technical director says, but I doubt we'll ever see it without some major other production changes applied alongside. Sponsors will not want their ad reads to be controllable by the audience without another channel of replacement content and I doubt NBC/Feld management will fight too hard against that.

That would save me from endless ridicule from those that share my house rent free 

I'd much rather hear the bikes and stadium sounds than listen to announcers. That way it makes the viewer feel they're at the race.

F yessss!!! 

But still..  we could have good announcers... instead the powers that be laugh at giving us dicky and Dickier yr after yr... 

Would be good because the mute button on my remote was completely worn out from last season.

Call me crazy, I don’t mind RC. I wish we could get back Cameron Steele or Todd Harris to come back for more. 

Finally. 

Well since you told me to, you’re crazy lol. RC is terrible. He’s never getting better. To me he’s actually regressing the more he’s in the booth. The weird thing is on his podcast and elsewhere he’s much better, but as soon as the night show starts he short circuits. 

Weege made a comment on a podcast somewhere, that SX is much more compressed and you have to be quick, and he said Stew is way better outdoors, where he has more time to explain, and go through his thoughts. Maybe RC would be better outdoors as well, the "explain this in 10 seconds" sounds rough. It's a different beast apparently. I vote we give Kdub a shot 😁

Hallelujah, would be perfect if the noise from bikes & stadium came through 

I do that already when the throw it down to WC 30 times a broadcast. 

I honestly don’t mind him. He says dumb stuff sometimes but also he has great insight. I’ve also said it before, I love Weege but the excitement he tries to generate from nothing (he’s noticeably become more aggressive the last few years) takes me out of it. Last year he was literally screaming bloody murder in a smx race while James and RC were casually talking.

With marquis College Football games they offer a multi-cast where you can choose your analysis. I’ll take the SX one with AC and JB. 

Yeah I know everyone loves him but his fake enthusiasm is too much for this guy 

Can't wait to change to the new settings Saturday!

Mute Commentary Options:

        Leigh  ✅

       Weege

      RC ✅

     Stew

    AC

   That Girl with the UK accent ✅

 Choose Bike Audio:

   4T

   2T ✅

Would definitely be a good metric for peacock execs to use as an accountability tool and for salary negotiation.

“Well Leigh 76% of our viewers put you on muted so we are gonna drop your salary by the same %”

For those of us who subscribe to the videopass, we got a survey on the announcers at the end of last season. We had our say.

That said, I hope I never take so many hits to the head that announcers bother me enough to need a feature like this.

Has anyone done a poll yet?

Maybe a 2026 announcer poll is due.

Weige, Stu, blair, jt on the floor...that's it 

Mxgp has a female reporter, that's really good, she keeps it short and to the point with her rider interviews and they don't over do it with her.

What really grinds me is during the races we constantly have to listen to will Christian's long winded diatribe, over and over again.

Rc banters his rince and repeate, then he'll say "will" and she'll run her yap on and on and it just continues in a daunting circle for the entire episode.

It's effen tiring!

End of rant...lol
