Bad enough the PL is split between 3 broadcasters now the CL split as well, always more expense for the fans

I'm happy with this, I have Amazon Prime and like their coverage, it's good that highlights are back on FTA TV and you would think in an hour long show that more footie would be shown on BBC due to no adverts rather than what would be essentially a 45 minute show on commercial television.

I stopped subscribing to BT Sport last October but haven't missed a game I want to watch as my IPTV sub is brilliant and costs £30 per year rather than £20 a month

[Wabaloolah]

Big surprise BBC winning the FTA highlights, on Wednesdays, BBC were always wary from bidding for the UCL, because of the sponsorship requirements

think that was more for live games, they were rumoured to be interested in live matches when it was on ITV.

I'm more surprised due to the Tories hammering the BBC license fee to be honest but good to know they can still compete for some sporting coverage.

They will show post-match interviews with the sponsors logos all over the board behind but that's no different to the PL interviews.

It's good to see the BBC involved more, I like their coverage as I do Amazon as well.

Ally McCoist is on Amazon isn't he?, he's fantastic, you can tell he just loves watching football, so enthusiastic, unlike some of the miseries we usually get lumbered with on TV.

Not sure if anywhere is cheaper but Plusnet seem to be doing BT Sport through SKY for £17

Yes, it's usually Ally and Gabby Logan.

[ToneLa]

It's not really ethically great to be wishing Amazon had a larger stake in something but here we are

Always love their coverage. It feels like, well... Sporting coverage, which you'll probably know what I mean

[Skeeve]

Yes, it's usually Ally and Gabby Logan.

Even if you didn't like him for some reason, amazon also have the crowd noise option too, so you aren't stuck with a commentator spoiling a game for you with them.

I have never used that, I will have to check it out next time.

[ToneLa]

It's brilliant

I also like the camera on a wire, swooping down the middle of the pitch angle they seemed to be the first to do.

Technology in football done RIGHT

Only issue is that their streams are normally 30 secs - 1 min behind live TV.

TNT Sports is an awful name.

Stands for Turner Network Television, but weird rebranding for UK, not sure how well known TNT broadcasting brand is in the UK.

Having said that, TNT are better known for NBA on TNT, & the first choice host/pundits for Inside The NBA, the NBA pregame/postgame show, can be hilarious at times.

Yep, works for me.

I’m guessing that must be TNT’s ‘gig’ as it where - going for a lighter more banter type presenations. They have the NHL on a Wednesday night every week too, and their pre game and during the breaks panel is very ‘banter’ orientated.  If they go this route with the footy using the sorts of clowns on show already for the PL, then that’d be another pre and post match to avoid like the plague!

BT aren't far off that as it is.
No idea which broadcaster it is, but I see clips of Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry, Carragher and Micah Richards and it is fucking awful.

CBS I think, mate. Awful 'bantz'. The focus seems to be is more on them than the actual football.

Abdo & Henry are good. Other two not so much.

[Barneylfc∗]

Yeah it's pretty much Carragher and Richards that ruin it. They just try to be louder and more in your face than the other. 2 dickheads.

yeah Carragher and Richards popped up on CBS last season I think? Instant mute when I saw them.
One of the best things about footy coverage in the US had been that they didn’t go down that banter route as much, but sadly, someone thought it a good idea to import those 2 dickheads for the CL coverage.

Henry always looks bemused when he hears them speaking. Like Richards and his haircut expenditure.

The one where she introduces the Champions League winners then Micah "played a couple of games" is funny

All the old BT YouTube video links and twitter links etc will still work... though any new content will be on TNT Sports - it more or less is a re-branding of BT Sport.

And they've fucked Jake Humphrey off (and Des Kelly) too.

Good move getting Laura Woods in.

Has Michael Owen left?

Stellar line up of pundits 🤣🤣

Is that Joe Cole 2 to the right of Crouch?

How the fuck has he managed to keep his role

Gotta be for the the piss-heads or tits who can't string two words together and think... 'that Joe Cole gets it, what amazing insight he gives every time he is on TV...'

That or it keeps the Cockneys and Sarfarnahs happy, innit

A pit they didn't get rid of Rio, him, Scholes, and Owen too.

[Kalito]

Yeah she's really good, hope she nails it.

She will. She's fantastic.

Them 2 gobshites Cole and Ferdinand need binning.
