The Cube isn't in the main IMG building - it's next door. It looks from the above video that there's plenty of empty space in there.

The author seems to have forgotten Amazon Prime have gotten into Premier League in the last ten years (though no doubt they’d argue it’s not technically a channel).

There seems to be unconfirmed reports that Warner Bros. Discovery will end the use of the "BT Sport" branding later this year, and BT Sport 3 and 4 will cease broadcast with more sports content to stream on Discovery+.

I'm guessing this will mean an end to Eurosport being a non-premium channel on Sky then?

Mentions of a Tuesday announcement seem to have been mostly removed from the article now apart from a single bullet point at the top. But really, there’s nothing in it that wasn’t already known. What the details are aren’t public yet.

It’ll be interesting to see how this plays for ROI viewers - BT Sport is tied into their exclusive wholesale deal with Sky for the duration of the current FAPL rights period but Eurosport are not and have several direct carriage agreements with providers as well as content on Discovery+.

Would any announcement come outside of trading hours, like rights announcements usually do?

This brand is being already used by WBD's Latin American sports services, specifically, in four countries. In Argentina and Chile, it operates as a premium channel, offering their respective top-flight football leagues; in Brazil and Mexico, it operates as a part-time brand airing mostly UEFA Champions League matches on their respective WBD general entertainment channels and on HBO Max.

It's been over 20 years since the TNT brand was last seen in the UK & Ireland, and that was TNT Classic Movies, which also aired WCW Nitro.  That channel became TCM.

It's hardly surprising that TNT has been forgotten by the British public.  It was only ever a part-time channel, and paired with Cartoon Network which if memory serves was the more watched channel of the two.
