That's what he is saying. In Cardiff you will have the London Advertising Macro Region. When Channel 4 eventually makes the correct advertising region available in HD, it should move to 108 and replace the SD version.

The funny thing is, I've been noticing that some of the so called "news" sites have been breaking news shortly after it has been disclosed on forum sites. I'm not saying they lift their information from online speculation but occasionally it seems to prompt them into researching something they would otherwise have missed.

He works hard for this forum, giving us ultra-reliable information. Thanks for everything, MB. Here’s to many more years.
Media boy is a top guy! I respect the work he does too.

I'm intrigued about the next big sports rights to come up. Does anyone have a website with key dates? I know the EPL got auto renewed last season for the same amount due to covid?

Would be intrigued to see foreign football rights/F1 etc

Get mine by email. They word it as if they are doing you a big favour, when in reality their regulator required them to do it in an attempt to prompt customers to stop Virgin ripping them off.

At least you got one. Sky seem to be opposed to it and have not been doing it - they believe they are exempt.

Very interesting. I imagine that Virgin don't like sending them out either, so will be watching to see if the outcome of any legal review could also apply to them.

Sky must think that this requirement will seriously damage their profits if they're prepared to take on their own regulator over the matter!

-F1 rights end in 2024.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...ll-formula-one

-SPFL end in 2024/2025 - SPFL are said to be in ongoing with Sky over new deal over new rights but if Sky don't want all rights
Premier Sports (Soon to be took over by Viaplay), BT Discovery and BBC Scotland are said to be waiting in a winds to take up to 20 games per season if Sky do not wants all 60 games.

Without wanting to derail the thread, he didn't give any information. Said he had some and wouldn't post it yet. You've then got to question of what the point was in the post in the first place.

BT Sport will broadcast WWE Clash At The Castle live from Wales on BT Sport 2 HD rather than BT Sport Box Office on September 3rd.

I think it's also on Freesat.

From what I can gather, the only platform that has not seen CNN return to it after it was removed a year ago is Virgin Media.

It's not on Freesat. You can manually tune it in, but they aren't paying to be on the EPG.

UPDATE: My Sources did reveal to me on August 17th that Discovery are in very hot water apparently something to do with the Warner Bros. Discovery merger, no other info was given.

I feel it will be HBO or DC.
