World News – UA – Channel 10 under pressure to provide coverage of Melbourne Cup

Coverage of Channel 10’s Melbourne Cup was called « terrible » last year With no one at the races today, he faces even more pressure

It’s the race that stops a nation, but it’s usually the punters who make the headlines

Instead of thousands of enthusiastic spectators flocking to Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse, the race that stops a nation will take place this year without spectators

The Cup airs on Channel 10, after the broadcaster won the rights to the Melbourne Cup Carnival for 2020

Channel 10 is under pressure to deliver this year, after critics saved its first year of hosting the Cup, calling it « terrible »

Channel 10 coverage of the Melbourne Cup kicked off at 10 a.m. with hosts Gorgi Coghlan and Stephen Quartermain at the helm of Channel 10

Coming soon, they will be joined by other Channel 10 stars, including MasterChef judge Melissa Leong and The Masked Singer host and comedian Dave Hughes

There are also flamingo, crocodile and sheep races, according to the hosts – stay tuned for anything that might mean

The network previously announced that hosting duties would fall to Coghlan, panelist and sometimes host of The Project – a move which has been criticized by sports presenter Tim Gossage

Gossage said the move was a wasted opportunity, when the network could have chosen Caty Price

“How good is Caty Price,” Gossage said in a tweet “Knows her stuff and lets the expert do the talking… why she doesn’t host the race day coverage is confusing (She’s) refreshing and competent «
