I HATED the way the whole thing was scripted, and how everyone seemed to be doing their damnedest to look like a professional newscaster, even down to the irritating rising and falling emphasis on every other word, how they kept reading off their papers (forgivable, it's a pilot), and how completely uncharismatic the whole thing's become.
A lot of people have said that, and its something that bugged me as well, as i understood it the autocue was fuxxored hence the looking at the papers, and as for the scripting, i pulled spraljunkie up on that during last nights siradio show with soulblythe it was the first show after all, they wanted to try and keep it sort of straight and narrow and to the point where possible.
spiral assured us that as the show progresses its going to be more in the old vein with a lot more relaxed interviewing and his usual off the cuff unscripted style.
Im fairly sure his presenting style was why he got the job after all, so its only fair to assume that hes gonna be let loose to do it his way soon enough, although I do think we need the couch back for the interviews at least!

It was all contrived and forced, as for telling the people watching about how the other new host is finding the new player experience,
No-one cares, old players did the tutorials a long while ago, and had it harder, new players don't care that someone else is finding it really easy, it makes them feel bad if they're not, and they're not going to be subscribed to evetv while they're doing the tuts are they?
Well, i personally enjoyed it, there was a bit of the nostalgia factor in it for me and its always nice to see new players coming into the game, after all without them eve would wither and die, also its quite possible that new players will be here just BECAUSE they watched eve tv.

The documenting of the pub meet was a little pointless, the only reasons people go to a gathering like that is for the atmosphere, the company, and the booze, we get none of those simply watching it.
again I quite liked that, gave an insight for those of us who havent been to meets as to what theyre like, and maybe convinced a few more people to go give one a shot, I for one am planning on selling a kidney so I can get to the london meet on july 7th.

The only saving grace was the section on MC, possibly...
no arguments here. other alliances need to step up and have a shot now!

EDIT: Just a thought, thought about asking corps/alliances in game to pay a little bit for airing their own 20 second recruitment adds in game? Perhaps even longer ones inbetween features.
the etv team have been asking for player input since day one of the first etv broadcast, players seem to shout a lot but very few seem to want to actually take a swing and show what they have got!

There is some very high quality work out there, and you could get people to pay you to show it.
so far they wouldnt even need to pay! lets see your skillz folks!
While i certainly dont agree with all your points im hardly one to say you cant have your opinion, and hopefully itll change as time goes on! kudos for putting up WHY you dont like it, instead of the more common "hate it sucks blarghhh whine" others should take note.
hope youll give evetv a chance I certainly plan to. (if i werent such an ugly barsteward with poor social skills id probly have applied to present, and i certainly wont knock those that ARE, thats gotta take nerve.)
