The Numbers never left, they are there on the F1 Channel, and on the other sports channels. Not just football.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Was quite impressed with BT`s start to their football coverage. Only the logo and score at the bottom of the screen irratates me a bit. As for 2 games being on at the same time I have a handy device called sky+ which records 1 for me to watch later!

I can go one better than that!!!

I mentioned it not because I wanted to watch both matches but because I found it incredible that they could effectively compete with themselves.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

BT Sports viewing figures for the Liverpool game averaged 447k with a peak of 764k

Sky Sport's coverage of Swansea v Man U on Sky sports 1 and Pick TV got 1.70 million with a peak of 2.48m

Sky 2's coverage of the game averaged 401k with a peak of 649k

The combined viewing figures for sky's coverage were 2.10 million with a peak of 3.13 million

Elsewhere Match of the Day returned with strong figures from 10:30 last night with 3.84 million tuning in

Cheers Colin. Never though to check on there as it won't be 'coming soon'.

Oh well at least I tried.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Now that BT Sport has been with us for a few days my own personal view is the footy coverage is decent, pq on HD is superb but beyond the football the schedule is for the lack of a better word....Setanta.

They need to up their game beyond the EPL and SPFL matches IMHO.
