The Sport Thread

Some of the cameras on tonight’s Andorra v England look upscaled compared to the others. Particularly the manager camera I feel.

Possible some were caught up in the fire yesterday and lower quality cameras have been bought in to replace them?

Wouldn’t surprise me - have to say, hats off to the host broadcaster and the stadium staff for getting everything back to “normal” after yesterday’s events.

Looks like BT Sport's presentation is onsite but commentary possibly back in Stratford for Fury Wilder 3. Richie Woodhall will be co-commentator but was doing an analysis piece alongside Cral Frampton and Derek Chisora from what I think was the cave that Champions League Tonight came from, but it was properly lit in red.

The whole team are out in Vegas, including Rawling and Woodhall on commentary. The bit you saw from the studio was a clip from a recorded programme shown earlier in the week.

The unusual combination of CBS graphics but NFL Network branding for today’s London Game.

And a nice studio set-up from BBC Sport NI's rugby coverage...apart from the logos on the plinths which is years out of date

BBC Sport NI have had some weekend, what on Earth is that font and why the oversized, cheap imitation of the official graphics package??





EDIT: Is that the URC typeface?

New graphics for the snooker, which don't look right for me. The turquoise diamond indicating who is at the table is a little weird and inconspicuous, an arrow like that used on other snooker graphics is much more obvious so don't know why they ditched that.

Also, three DOGs in three corners of the screen(!)

My feeling regarding the wst dog and red scoreboard are that wst handled broadcast requirements for these qualifying round marches. Since the tournament properly starts from today [ie the proper Round 1 begins from the last 64 stage], we may see the graphics updated to fit the eurosport standards.

ITV have an FA Cup programme at 1.05pm on Sunday. Is it the draw for the first round proper or a highlights programme? It's only 30 minutes. Seema Jaswal is presenting.

It’s the first round draw. Odd that it’s listed as ‘Live FA Cup Football’ though.

How will TV coverage of the draws work? ITV show one for one round and the BBC the next?

BT and BBC split responsibility on a season by season basis so they might do similar.

Still the same today.

According to a poster on DigitalSpy that is indeed what's happening. Looks like the Beeb will show it (ie, the actual draw when they welcome all the viewers around the world) on the Red Button and the website.

Any idea when BBC Rebrands this month, if BBC Sport Graphics are getting a refresh (e.g Football Scoreboard graphics etc.) ? Used the same ones for about 4 Years now.

In a move that will probably not go down well in Wales;

Wales Autumn Internationals will only be exclusively live on Amazon Prime and will be only available in highlights on S4C, Amazon will offer the option of Welsh and English commentary.

BT Sport in a roundabout manner confirm Australian National Cricket coverage including Ashes 2021-2.

No on-site presence off tube.
