Living in the States, I've been a subscriber to RTV for quite a few years now and, to be honest, it's had its ups and downs. The current format is better than anything we've had before in regards to video/stream quality etc. and the amount of content is excellent value for money.
The recorded content the RTV folks put up is second to none. It is truly excellent. I love the "Inside Ibrox" videos, the training videos, the pre-season videos from abroad etc. Add to all of that, they release videos of single goals and match highlights. I genuinely cannot fault anything they do with regards to giving us a sense of how the place works - both at Ibrox and the HTC.
Where I think they DO fall down, though, is the actual matchday program itself. Look, I know it's been debated on here (almost to death) and I'm sure Tom Miller is a genuinely nice guy. There's no doubting his love for the club, but his commentary is stuck in the 70s and it's the same week in, week out. Like I say, I know some people will contest this, as I can tell he's a Rangers man but I'm just being honest, as a paying customer. It's not all his fault, though. The matchday stuff seems a little stale, with pre-recorded interviews etc. I wish they would put Alice or someone in a wee studio with someone else to analyse the game - we have a whole host of current/former players that we already rotate in the co-commentary position.
Anyway, I truly don't mean to turn this into a negative post - I'm honestly delighted with the value for money, even though I pay the most expensive subscription and I think the whole team deserves huge praise for what they do.
