BT Sport graphics for tonight (and I assume all weekend) have become (even more) black for the Premier League's No Room for Racism weekend.

Bit of behind the scenes with the example images below:

Last time I checked there weren't separate in and out of break bumpers for Sky Sports PL, just short and long versions.

Normally the music that comes with it is different, the out of break bumpers just tends to be the instrumental whereas the into break is with the ident music.

Ah, they must've changed it from last time I was working on it (which was a while ago, admittedly).

Unusual replay wipes, at the start of the Wasps v Bath Rugby union match on BT Sport. No big coloured wipes, with "GALLACHER PREMIERSHIP RUGBY - BT SPORT" on it. Instead, a line scrolls over the left to the replay and wipes over again to the left after the replay. I like it!

EDIT: Since posting, Wasps score a try, and normal replay wipes return.

I didn't see it - but usually when there's a fancy replay wipe, what's actually happening is that there's a graphic animation being keyed on the top of the image, which is concealing a bog-standard mixer wipe happening underneath. It's possible that the keyer didn't do its thing (or a macro had been misconfigured) and you were just seeing the wipe.

Some rights, progamming and picks news

The Scottish League Cup will now be known as the Premier Sports Cup with the competition now on Premier Sports until 2026/27.

The Scottish Cup semi-final picks have been announced, with Premier Sports back to playing the slightly odd 16:00 kick-off on Saturday

And the non-league finals on Monday will be available for free on the BT Sport website and app for non subscribers. A nice gesture.

Wimbledon is to scrap the middle Sunday rest day from next year.

Interesting to see BBC Four have moved the DOG from top left to top right during tonight’s snooker when it’s been top left in previous broadcasts.


The Sport Thread - Brekkie - 27-04-2021

I doubt the snooker really has any graphics at the top of the screen anyway other than perhaps "Live from the Crucible" if they still do that.

Sky Sports is to retain Rugby’s Super League for a further two years.

Interestingly, whilst Sky say they have 66 games live "exclusively", it also talks about first picks which would suggest for the first time in the Super League era, Sky might be sharing the broadcast rights with another party.

The RFL are keen to push their own app, Our League, which many non-Sky Super League games have appeared on post-covid but to season ticket owners only. There have been some cup games and second tier games on there PPV also, so it would be interesting to see if this is who Sky have first pick ahead of, as apposed to a free-to-air partner.

Talking of the second tier, the above deal does not include rights to the Rugby League Championship, which Sky have locked down in the past few years but not really used, only really interested in the promotion race at the end of the year. It was reported earlier in the week that Premier Sports might be in the market again for those rights having held them until around 2013

There was talk on an article I read a couple of weeks ago that some clubs were keen to get Super League regular season matches on the BBC and yesterday as you say it was claimed Premier Sports were in discussions for the Championship games.
