Crucially the option for a free to air partner remains. I assume though Sky will retain the Grand Final exclusively.

Talking Super League Grand Finals I see Sky have been using some floating 3D score graphics, which I don’t think I’ve seen them use before.

Awful, awful, awful! The colour schemes are completely ugly - who thought that yellow and purple were suitable for rugby? And why does the “WordArt” text remind me of Blind Date during its latter years (i.e. the so-called Date or Ditch era)?!

The word ‘exclusive’ is notable by its absence anywhere in their announcement.

NBA moves from Sky Sports to TNT Sports.
I'm not sure if I'm reading this correctly, but does the wording of the article imply that not every game will be shown, especially from the NBA In-Tournament Game?

It's like something you'd expect to see on CBBC 15 years ago.

Opening weekend of the Premiership season on TNT, Buzz16 definitely putting their mark - not all for the good IMO.
Most notably, there didn't seem to be any highlights reel of the non-televised games until the ITV slot late on Sunday. Not sure whether this is TNT's choice or Prem Rugby wanting to push PRTV.

Sportscene last night accidentally played out the closing montage at the start of the programme. Luckily it was only a friendly and the result was the expected one.
