Like boxing, I have a new appreciation for the race as it greatly enhanced the development of broadcasts we take for granted today. I am still amazed the 1949 broadcast was actually more sophisticated than the whole of the 1948 Summer Olympics! I am a Light Blues backer by the way, apologies Oxford fans.

It was mightily impressive for 1949 standards, where the coverage required more cameras than the 1948 Summer Olympics did! Who's in the lead, John Snagge? Might be difficult because Cambridge won by merely a quarter length! The broadcast was subject to a telerecording, but it has not been publicly released. Fun fact: of the "media milestone" races, it is 2-2 overall! Balanced as it should be.
