BT Sport’s 5 through to 10 in both SD and HD exist as actual channels on the BT TV platform. They usually play the loop with the slowly animating grey background.

Presumably the extra channels will go and people be directed to Discovery+ instead as with Eurosport.

Unless I've missed it, have we had any details of the pricing structure and setup of TNT Sports on Discovery+?
I'd presume it will just become a third package option on Discovery+ on top of the current 'Entertainment' (£3.99 pm) and 'Enterntainment & Sport' (£6.99 pm) that are already avaialble, retaining a price close to the current £29 pm for the monthly pass. That or the sports package gets bumped up to a price closer to the current BT Sport. I don't think the latter will happen though, last week I received an e-mail confirming my annual Discovery+ Entertainment & Sport subscription will soon be renewing at £59.99 - I highly doubt I'm getting TNT Sports included for that price!

Nothing has been confirmed officially yet, but I recall reading on the BT Community Forum a couple of months ago on a post from BT themselves basically saying that for BT TV subscribers, BT/TNT Sports will continue to be priced at its current rate (excluding inflation) for at least 2 years, as that was part of the deal with Discovery.
I’m not overly familiar with Discovery+ ‘s price and tier plans, but anything I have watched on Discovery+ on the back having a BT Sport subscription has included adverts, but I’m guessing a top tier package wouldn’t have adverts?

The extra channels will continue in the same way they are now, via the red button on Sky and VM and on the EPG on BT TV. There'll be some World Rally on there over the first weekend of TNT Sports.

Ah, the days when BT had money to spend on frivolous studio shows. Baker & Kelly were always good fun, but I can't imagine troubled the BARB ratings enough to justify the costs.

What did VSPO even stand for again? I can’t remember.
BT seemed to have quite a few fun shows like that in their early days, they also had a wierd thing of hosting their Friday night PRL games from the club bar of the home team.
More seriously, the European Football Show on a Sunday night was probably the best studio show they ever produced, the analysis often being more worth watching than the actual football. The spirit has lived on with the Champions League Goals Show featuring essentially the same line-up, though I’m not sure what TNT’s intentions are towards continuing that.
BTW Is it still the plan to drop the ESPN content? It hasn’t gone anywhere yet.
