Those were up for at least a minute before the Sky Sports apology caption was faded in for a couple of minutes, initially with the tone from the BT colour bars carrying on, eventually changing to the music with the caption until the feed returned a minute or two later.
I know Sky have been making cuts in playout lately, but surely live sport needs a live PD?
Guessing a pair of mistimed switch bookings somewhere?
