I dont see how middle aged people goofying around in an alley or using in jokes appeals to some mythical younger audience
I agree there is a place for fun and humour on a braodcast but also there is a need to not include cringe and a need not be part of an in club
I too really liked dry humour Gary Imlach
As for using 'engaging, telegenic individuals' this is all well and good but you also need experts who talk like experts and in a professional manner
Everyone is the target audience and you cannot afford to alienate cycling fans by substituting content for malarkey
Its about balance
I have stopped watching the breakaway as I find it annoying . That is down to one person really and when serious topics are up for discussion , they get tossed aside or diluted in the interests of 'humour' . One can go too far one way
