Rather significant deal. A bit of hyperbole in here, but explains it simply enough:

A far less significant deal, the RFU Championship Final First Leg will be on Premier Sports

Rather odd that the second leg appears on BT Sport

Wasn't it reported somewhere not long ago that Hearn was a shareholder in DAZN?

What was the Sky subscription/PPV split - I'm thinking roughly once a month on Action/Arena and every other month on PPV. Can't see DAZN making it pay for long at £1.99 a month.

One thing I missed from the DAZN - Matchroom Boxing deal

I guess the difference this time is ITV will be presenting from London and the BBC from Salford, commentating off tube.

So STV presenting from Glasgow and commentating off tube doesn't look like much of a downgrade on the bigger budget ITV network effort.

The more notable difference though is Scotland actually qualified, and like England their group games are in the UK (two at Hampden, one at Wembley).

Nottingham Open: BBC to show women's Wimbledon warm-up tournament on iPlayer and online - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/57360431

Only appears to be the centre court matches but that's better than nothing

Are they showing more action (ie starting earlier) than Eurosport did as well?

Yes, starts Sunday. Eurosport's coverage used to start Wednesday or Thursday
Centre Court only though still.

Any word on where ITV are going to be based for their Euro 2020 coverage? I know the BBC will likely house their studios in Salford.

Although they've been using BT Sport's studios, on the DigitalSpy commentators thread there's the suggestion that, like the Rugby World Cup, it could well be Maidstone, not least as that will count as a regional production.

They are indeed going to be based at Maidstone.

Lee McKenzie was presenting the F1 Coverage for Channel 4 in Baku for this weekend with Mark Webber & Billy Monger. Steve Jones wasn't there because, according to a twitter post he made this week, his test to fly certificate got delayed resulting in himself missing out on going to Baku this weekend.
