Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
So the main Premier Sports 2 carries live UEFA Champions League - but as they only have the rights for Ireland, the UK Sky cards get a 'out of region' message and a blue screen.
VirginMedia get a different feed which has the alternate UK programming - so no error message and no UEFA football.
Premier Sports 1 has two versions on Sky -one for UK and a second for Ireland so can split the programmes. But there is only one Premier Sports 2 on satellite.
VirginMedia used to do this too for the LaLiga live football at 3.15pm on a Saturday - hit by the 3pm blackout.
Sky would have a 'region message' message on screen while th VM version had alternamte programming.

WBD will become the exclusive UK broadcaster of Tour de France from 2026
Quote:
Warner Bros. Discovery will become the exclusive UK broadcaster for the men’s and women’s Tour de France from 2026.
Currently, the pay-TV provider shares the cycling competition with ITV, which shows live races and highlights on ITV4. From 2026, cycling fans will have to subscribe to the then launched Max streaming service or Eurosport to watch the races live, and the agreement will last until at least 2030.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
It’s a shame that ITV won’t carry live coverage of the TdF. But reading the wording in that statement, hopefully a deal will be done for them to show highlights every evening. Unless WBD intends to put them on Quest.

The agreement, worth a reported €1 billion, will see all 63 matches at the tournament, which involves 32 of the best clubs worldwide, live-streamed, free to view on DAZN worldwide, with the possibility of sublicensing to local free-to-air linear broadcast networks.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
WWE Network is closing 31st December and is moving to Netflix so will be available on Virgin Media from January.
Unfortunately it looks like not much content is going over. From what I've heard so far only:
1) RAW
2) SmackDown
3) NXT
4) Selected PPVs. (apparently 40 ppvs from the past. Considering WWE have had PPVs for over 40 years and for the last 25 years had at least 12 ppvs a year this isnt much!)
5) Selected documentaries
6) A few bits of classic content (which will be added and removed periodically)
There will not be any WCW Nitro, WCW Thunder, WCW PPVs, ECW Hardcore TV, ECW PPVs or any former WWE shows such as Superstars or territories. Netflix are just focused on showing content for WWE.
Such a shame! Literally going backwards where content will be hidden away again. The Youtube WWE Vault will be posting the odd classic match or dark match but just segments and not full shows or PPVs.
End of an era!

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Has been on all platforms for many years. VM has it on 991. Sky and Freesat on 970. Freeview 601.
Until a couple of years ago - five more were added for Wimbledon each year.
