The rest is just filler , I wouldn't subscribe to a Channel with just foreign football league's.
What's happened to the remaining two bundles of Premier League rights? Could they still be up for grabs? I suspect too expensive for Eleven Sports though.

They haven't been sold as no-one met the reserved price.

The PL are still hoping to get improved bids - but they may be disappointed.

Perhaps Premier or Eleven will get them when they are 'reduced to clear' as it were?!

All four regions of STV now have Audio Description broadcasts on satellite.

IIRC VM only broadcasts into three Scottish regions, does anyone know if VM has mirrored this development?

If so, this would be excellent news for visually impaired viewers in Scotland.

Is STV 2 still broadcasting MB?

Back in March, there was talk that STV might be closing it:

That's not going to happen - although these are not very attractive packages (midweek for all 10 games in the round), if they did that then in future broadcasters would play chicken with each other refusing to put high bids in knowing the PL would sell at bargain-bucket price as the deadline neared.

If it's anything like the other local channels broadcasting in the UK, one minute must have been like an endurance test.
