I just wonder if they got caught out?
They have been the only channel to bother with the cricket and then boom BT show up and out of nowhere they have the next Ashes series.
That must have kicked someone's arse in Sky and then that is why they have got straight onto securing the next few series without hesitation.

The production of Sky is good I just think the commentators could do with a shuffle. I like Athers and Bumble and Ricky Ponting was good but all the others are just 'comfortable'.
If I could sync TMS with the pictures I think that would be preferred option. TMS just has more life in them but I guess that is because they have to get that across more due to the lack of pictures.
Shows that it is an art form.

I'm having trouble staying tuned into the Europa League with Lynsey Hipgraves at the helm. Her voice is giving me a headache. I don't mean to be horrible but its unbearable.

Put it simply most of their presenters female or male are simply third rate.

Possibly a little off topic, and I am not entirely sure how many people will be interested.

However, given the number of negative comments about commentators generally being poor these days, I thought I would highlight the one and only Barry Davies is going to be commentating on Absolute Radio's PL games for the next few weeks. Can't wait to hear him commentate again.

Wimbledon to stay free to air until 2020

Not that it was in much doubt after the all England club said they were not interested in working with anyone else. However it's puts to rest the press speculation of sharing coverage with BT.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

So are the BBC going to rebrand Wimbledon as the BBC tennis championship in the same way that they have hijacked the Henry Wood promenade concerts as the BBC proms?

The whole thing would have collapsed if the BBC hadn't stepped in. Think the marketing of it as BBC works in favour and Sir Henry is more than honoured every year.
