Lets see what happens...surely streaming companies and sports providers may get more hungry for partnerships....

Dont want anymore channels , recording not watched sitting at around 20% .ĺ delete after watching. If not lower cost :p:
Faster bb and better service please:rolleyes:

One of my followers on X has found out that an web site name of hbosports .co.uk was registered in August 2025.

Are TNT Sports UK set to become known as HBO Sports UK and TNT Sports UK set stop streaming on Discovery + and move to HBO Sports UK?

It was previously confirmed HBO Max UK & Ireland will become the streaming home of TNT Sports when it launches.

It's mentioned at the bottom of this recent speedway press release aswell

This story that I posted early may have nothing to with Warner Bros Discovery.

I have now been told an UK Charity previously named HBO Sports & Community Club is maybe set to rename as HBO Sports.

Yet again people take the mickey out of MB posting EXACTLY the type of news this thread was created for.

Frankly it says more about them than anyone else that they make the effort to do it lol. Sad really.

Either don't comment or don't view the thread.

excellently said.

I wonder if it'll be cheaper to subscribe to HBO UK to get TNT Sports once it merges over....a sort of incentive to get people onto it.

Wouldn't hurt the mods to intervene and tell these fools to keep quiet.

So sad that this brightens your life.
I read his posts for on very very rare occasions, something of real interest appears.
