Not sure if it's just me that hadn't heard about it but ITVX are showing highlights from the GCT Showjumping and there are already the highlights from Shanghai available:

‘Groundbreaking collaboration’ means top showjumping action on ITV this year

Showjumping is to return to mainstream television thanks to a deal between ITV and the Longines Global Champions Tour (LGCT). The new partnership means ITVX will broadcast the LGCT grand prix of London live this August, “bringing showjumping action to millions of homes”, and show LGCT and Global...

Seeing as there's hardly any coverage for Equestrian these days it seems a shame to miss it or not support it due to not knowing about it!
 
I saw this on Facebook the other day!

I think it’s great after the damage to social licence last year - courtesy of Edwina Scissorhands.
 
It’s really good isn’t it. I hope decent commentators who can balance interest for enthusiasts and engage the general public. Television got me into watching road bike racing through the brilliant commentators and background info so let’s hope we can reignite horse sports again on TV. I’ve been to watch the Tour de France when it was in the UK just through seeing it on TV
 
It’s great they are showing it for sure.
I tried watching last night and got bored pretty quickly 😬🫣
 
I saw it the other day but thought it was ITV. If it is ITVX I will not be able to get it as a message comes up that the telly is not good enough for it! I can get i-player ect but not X. TV is only 3 or 4 years old.
 
Watched it on friday night after this thread.

The highlights tried to fit in everything and hence became too choppy to really follow the GCL stuff. When they went on to the GCT GP it was better as they tended to show the same 5 fences at the end of the course for each rider they covered.

Few glitches e.g. putting up an image of the course for too few seconds to follow and with no commentary.

I'm glad that they are covering what is top class SJ and hope they will refine their selection of clips as they go on to cover more in the series. Really looking forward to seeing the full coverage of London in August.
