How is it working with sports journalists covering such events - isn't the official position now that anyone travelling for work must quarantine like everyone else, although clearly with sports people moving freely around Europe that's not the case for them so is there a similar exception for journalists who I guess may be in a bubble attached to the events?

I've heard more on this, this morning, story corroborated by a leading tech journalist, possible news release in a couple of weeks once discussions conclude.

They are indeed going to be based at Maidstone.
Confirmed in Broadcast Sport - along with the fact that the Tour de France will be using studio facilites there again.

Was confirmed a while ago for people who followed Maidstone Studios on LinkedIn

Is the French Open from there as well?
French Open is from "west London" according to ITV.
Timeline Television Facilites at Ealing Studios, then!
It's not at Ealing Studios!
There are a few others in West London.
Something missing from the build up to the tournament this year is Soccer Aid but confirmed today that the match will take place on the 4th September 2021 and the new co-host with Dermot O'Leary will be Alex Scott.

Sky Sports taking the entire State of Origin native NRL coverage from Townsville including the sponsors message slots, most being caption and silenced. One for the Aussie Just Eat subsidiary did sneak through under the radar though.
