The draw for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals would still have taken place on Morning Live?

Morning Live was on BBC Two today, wasn't it?
They'd have still made the draw, it probably would have been online somewhere (I expect tomorrow's will be on the BJK Cup YouTube channel at least)

The BBC Website should really update its coverage page of the Women’s euros. Portugal v Switzerland tomorrow is not on BBC2 as stated but appears to be Iplayer only. It’s not even scheduled on 991 the red button channel.

Sad news this morning that sports commentator John Gwynne has passed away.

I met him in 2013 at a darts event in Andover. He was a very friendly and knowledgable man.


RE: The Sport Thread - Robertclark125 - 09-07-2022

As well as commentating on darts, he also once commentated on crown green bowls for sky, and had reported on rugby union, rugby league, and football as well.

Are RTE or Virgin Media showing highlights of the Ireland tests in New Zealand? Pretty sure the home games have to be FTA but from a quick look at listings like here it looks like no highlights of the foreign tours.


RE: The Sport Thread - Rdd - 09-07-2022

No, I don’t recall there being FTA coverage of Ireland’s overseas summer tours in decades at this stage - the late summer home series before RWCs tend to get some coverage though.

As far as rugby is concerned, only Ireland’s games in the Rugby World Cup are protected for live coverage. The Six Nations is protected for deferred/highlights only but has been invariably FTA anyway.


RE: The Sport Thread - Brekkie - 09-07-2022

Isn't even a highlights package on Sky Sports - it's either a 3 minute cut on YouTube or catching a full late night replay on Sky Sports. The England game of course has been packaged into an hour long highlights and got shown after the Wales game and after the Scotland game, and also gets shown on Tuesday after the Maori v Ireland games.

This Extreme E feels like quite an odd fit for ITV1, I'd never heard of it before and I have to say it's not fantastically exciting to watch. I wonder if maybe they've been offered it for free to increase its profile. I don't think I've seen any ITV Sport branding.

Further to this it rated dreadfully with 94k, last of the terrestrials.


RE: The Sport Thread - telebox2001 - 11-07-2022

Not a fan of this channel hop for the ladies football to get to the Ten on time on BBC One. It's simply unnecessary. Is it really going to hurt anyone to have the news start a little bit late - PM Johnson remains in post through the summer.; therefore, I'm not convinced the CON leadership race warrants the Ten coming on bang on time.

Also, the switch was very rough, with BBC One coming off air long before BBC Two was live.


RE: The Sport Thread - Brekkie - 11-07-2022

They rejigged it at 7pm too - originally the news and regional news had 15 minutes each from 7.05-7.35pm between the NI and England games, but that was expanded to 45 minutes (30 minutes national) with an extra half hour of football on BBC2.

Agree ultimately a few minutes wouldn't harm the news, and really if they're just switching to BBC2 for 15 minutes they're better off using the red button for extra analysis as is done so often with rugby games when they're rushed off air.

P.S. Are all the Euros games being hosted at the stadia?

Yes, although you'd have to say it was a bit overshadowed on Sunday what with Wimbledon, the cricket, the golf and, most obviously, the Grand Prix. I know only one of those was on FTA TV, but in terms of column inches and awareness it would have been pretty far down the agenda.


RE: The Sport Thread - Brekkie - 12-07-2022

Looks like the World Athletics Championships gets a full length replay of the overnight action, usually in the afternoons. Live coverage is generally 1-4.30am on BBC1, with the earlier sessions switching between BBC2/3/4.

In the US looks like weekend coverage is across CNBC and NBC with weekday coverage on USA Network and further coverage on Peacock. The dedicated NBC Sports Network has now closed and the Olympic Channel is due to close in September.
