The French Open now just goes by somewhat unnoticed. I get why they might not want to offer an ITV4 level of coverage on Quest but feels a missed opportunity for them not to use the channel for some limited live coverage in order to try and convinced people to subscribe, even if they just did the first day as a free sample.
Discovery+ now twice the price Eurosport Player was a few years ago at £6.99 to include Eurosport. I will get it for the Olympics - I see you can still get it through Prime but back in 2021 the service offered on Prime was quite different to Eurosport Player with 7 streams rather than all of them.
No mention of the late night highlights on DMAX, but I wouldn't be surprised that they do pop up for the finals if they said there would be FTA coverage.
I have to agree it goes by unnoticed, I didn't get round to downloading the app until this morning, a week later than I normal! specially being in the same timezone as the UK near enough, it gets put down the running order by football and F1 today, and other events like cricket soon.
Hadn't realised how much Discovery+/Eurosport Player has increased in price. I fear it will get four times as expensive later in the year if they do shut down Eurosport UK and then only offer the one sport package via TNT Sports.* Feel sorry for anyone who is a fantatic of a sport that has been a mainstay of Eurosport if that is the case - paying less than £10/month for your sport is okay, but over £30 if you have little interest in any of the big contracts on TNT will be quite the smack in the face. Especially sorry for cycling followers, who had GCN+ shut down on them last year and moved to the more expensive Eurosport on Discovery+, and could be moved to a more expensive tier again.
*I hope that won't be the case but I fear it the most likely scenario
