The French Open still has that bizzare "Psst... ahhh" sound going into breaks of play 🤣

Passes me by completely now it has no FTA window. I do think if they gave it a daily live slot on Quest that would do more to drive Discovery+ subscriptions for additional court coverage and the night matches than pay TV exclusivity does.

It's an advert for Perrier that is played out on the show courts.

They don't make a highlights programme for Eurosport so would be an extra production for them (unlike the Giro d'Italia where they do - it went out on DMAX this year). Perhaps the Australian Open finals didn't rate very well so they decided it wasn't worth bothering (they were in the evening on DMAX).
I'm surprised they didn't put the World Superbikes coverage FTA though, instead of cutting into and out of tennis coverage on Eurosport 2 this weekend.
Worth noting that the Surbiton Trophy (Challenger) has BBC Red Button coverage all this coming week, with the Nottingham Open and Birmingham Classic (same week as Queen's) to follow, like last year.

Peak of circa 8 million for the FA Cup Final

And it was sad to hear the on-air tribute yesterday to Mat Wayne. Not a name that was known to us viewers, but it is obvious from the tributes and comments that he was very well like by his colleagues and will be much missed. RIP Mat.

Interesting move given what he previously thought of his new employer.

Roughly 30 minutes into the BBC's coverage of the Surbiton Trophy... (one caption shortly followed by the next)

Potentially massive breaking golf story that may effect tv rights down the road…PGA Tour, PGA European Tour and LIV Golf to merge…sounds like an April Fools’s joke but it’s not…

More cross promotion of the Champions League final on BT Sport, on Eurosport's Roland-Garros coverage. This followed a feature with Peter Crouch interviewed at Roland-Garros.
