February 5, 20169 yr Author I'm glad that the BBC has at least got some extensive coverage of the Olympics. Thought they would prioritize in renewing their rights to the Olympics.
March 14, 20169 yr Author The BBC will be showing the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia live.
March 23, 20169 yr Author Sky Sports will become the lone broadcaster of F1 from 2019 after agreeing a deal with Bernie to show all the races live. That means that free-to-air coverage in the UK of F1 will be no more in 2019.

March 24, 20169 yr Money obviously talks over viewers, I thought F1 was protected, or at least the British GP was anyway and had to be shown free to air. The British GP will still be available on a free-to-air channel.
March 24, 20169 yr Author F1 has never been protected as an event that has to be shown on a free-to-air channel or the British Grand Prix, I don't think. Martyn. Only one live race to be shown in 2019. Apparently Sky have paid nearly a billion according to reports for the 6 years.
March 24, 20169 yr That's a real shame. I always loved F1 growing up, but a combination of working on Sundays, then free-to-view TV losing half the races made me drift away from it, and I feel this will be the final nail in the coffin of my love of the sport (I don't have Sky and wouldn't pay for it).

May 9, 20178 yr Under the new deal Champions League group matches will kick off at 18:00 and 20:00 UK time. Where did this decision come from?!
May 9, 20178 yr 6pm kick off is fine as long as it's not applied to matches taking place in the UK. Can see Trafford Council, Manchester City Council, TfGM and GMP heavily objecting to that start time for the two Manchester clubs.
