Cable Forum - General ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

They have given it the channel number of Sky Sports Action apparently. One less place for sports that don't have a dedicated channel if it's replacing it.

New NFL dedicated channel on the way.

Looking forward to some more NFL Network Programming seems a great deal for those who like NFL.

Watching Atalanta v PSG on BT Sports, what a farce the sound is about 10 seconds ahead of the video.

Atalanta score, as per commentary - the scorer hasn't even received the ball

It was the same on all platforms and an on-air apology was given.

Yes, it did sort itself out after about 10-15 mins, the commentator even joked about it.

As said, above, never had this before - very strange.

But NFL is not a major sport (in the UK).

I suspect either Action or Arena will be re-named rather than an extra channel.

They have so many channels anyway that they have to put programmes on more than 1 channel to fill the gaps.

Sky Sports does not just broadcast in Blighty as it broadcasts all over the world where NFL is much bigger in its popularity.
