And speaking of which… FOM revealed the new world feed titles, designed as ever by drive | studio in Hollywood. They are now less GFX and VFX laden and more studio focused, as well as a new, more dramatic, orchestrated arrangement of Brian Tyler’s brand anthem. They are available to watch from here (FOM deliberately avoids embedding the video with for very sense-making reason)

I’m not sure if this is the reason but tonight’s Everton v Newcastle fixture is not being broadcast in Ireland - the rights to it are held by Premier Sports but it’s not in their listings (and they have no other live sport scheduled, just ice hockey repeats).
I'm exactly sure how Premier's match picks work for Premier's ROI package - presumably it's normally anything they like from the Saturday 3pm games, but I'm not sure of the mechanics with midweek rounds. Anyhow, last night's Everton game was postponed from December 30th, and in that matchweek they showed Man Utd v Burnley.

Sky Sports F1 titles for 2022...

Premier have two packages, the ROI-only 3pm package, and the ROI rights to Package F (one full bank holiday and one full midweek round), ie the same games Prime Video would broadcast in the U.K. Because Package F consists of full rounds there shouldn’t be any concept of there being “picks” per se - every eligible game is supposed to be broadcast.

With the 3pm’s, back in the day Setanta did have free choice originally (and showed as many Man United and Liverpool games as they could possibly squeeze in) but at some point that changed, and they were given a quota of only showing each team five times, and I think that has stuck since through the changes with Sky and then Premier Sports taking over the package.

I assume these aren't seen in the UK or do they have to be played when live race coverage begins?


The Sport Thread - Brekkie - 18-03-2022

Looks like the England friendlies during the next international break are on Sky. They get some nice Nations League fixtures in the summer too with Italy and Germany also in Englands group.

I've not seen the world feed titles appear much. I don't watch a huge amount of F1, though...

It's the FOM T- 5 minute world feed intro, so we'll see that before every session.

Look at all those happy smiling multimillion pound paid drivers, eh? At least the one time world champion raises a near grin, I suppose.

They’re typically played about five minutes or so before the formation lap - they’ve replaced the old “Sweeping Curves” animation that used to be played at that point - and I think all TV rights holders are obliged to take them for live coverage.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Given that many of the games in the Amazon pack end up being simultaneous, where do Premier put them all? Do they have enough channels?


The Sport Thread - Rdd - 18-03-2022

No they don’t - they can use both Premier 1 & 2 if available, and after that it’s the red button (when it works!). I suppose in theory they could put a game on FreeSports, but they haven’t done so yet. Red button games are exclusive to Sky customers, and aren’t available to those watching on Now or Vodafone.

A couple of notes on the BBC's World Indoor Athletics Coverage
-No Gabby Logan this morning as 'advertised' in the schedules, instead Jeanette Kwakye
-With Jeanette presenting in Salford, Katherine Downes is doing Jeanette's normal 'job' reporting and interviewing in Belgrade


The Sport Thread - Brekkie - 18-03-2022

Only saw coverage briefly but Jeanette much better with some pundits alongside her, plus of course in her comfort zone with athletics.

Jeanette has seemed much more comfortable with the athletics compared to the Winter Olympics and at ease with at times up to 3 pundits in the studio.

Side note, BBC Sport really need to find a larger better coffee table for the smaller VR studio, it looked so cramped earlier when there were 3 pundits plus Jeanette all sat around it, now that Covid precautions seem to be easing


The Sport Thread - Jon - 18-03-2022

I don’t think the studio itself is much bigger than the coffee table.
