Well, that is quite a signing.....

Rest of the coverage announced, slightly surprised by Laura Woods & Maya Jama being confirmed as the main presenters, Woods is an excellent sports host of Darts & Football but will she give up sky commitments to do this? although talksport has confirmed she will stay on the Breakfast Show whereas Maya Jama comes out of nowhere and will either be a Steve Jones on Channel 4 F1 or Otis Daley on Channel 4 Athletics.

Yeah I know it's a rebrand...

I've even seen those today after the announcement so be interesting to see in the TV guides tomorrow if it's listed as Lions or if it is a last minute thing. The TV advert earlier just said Sky Sports.

With an overnight repeat on ITV and a further next morning repeat on ITV4 which I don't remember them having in the recent past.

Looking ahead I think the BBC may pick both 8pm kick-offs in the Quarter Finals (assuming they have first 2 picks).
One will feature England (or Germany) and the other is Belgium vs Italy.

They certainly had them originally but dropped them at some point.
WhatI thought was odd with the alternative schedules at the weekend was without the football highlights they were due to air around 11.40 but with the football highlights they pushed them back an hour with Alright on the Night in between them, despite the Euro highlights being a much better lead in and the Tour being a decent complementary lead out show.

One thing I’ve noticed is that BBC Sport/Whisper no longer seem to be putting their own graphics on highlights of the one day international and t20 cricket and are just using Sky’s. Think this only happened for the Women’s matches last year, they also took the Sky commentary for those matches no sure what they did here in that regard.

Haven't seen it mentioned here but sadly two camera crew from RaceTech were injured yesterday at Hamilton racecourse having fallen from a cherry picker - they were taken to hospital but there has not yet been an update regarding their condition. Fingers crossed that they are not seriously injured and they make a full recovery.
