Aussie Open Tennis
British Eurosport and British Eurosport 2, as well as their high-definition equivalents – will screen continuous through-the-night coverage for those first 10 days, offer fans the opportunity to choose which match they want to watch. so how will they do this? |

For the US Open last year, the German version of Eurosport and Sky Germany had an extra 9 temporary channels (like the BBC over the 2012 Summer Olympics), but, y'know, there's no chance of that happening all of a sudden.

I'd say that's just a way of saying you'd need to get the Eurosport Player package, to watch 'whichever match' they want. I doubt they'd want to do a 'twitter hashtag' style quick contest for people to suggest which game they'd want to see on the normal Eurosport.

Amlin Cup - Thurs
Newcastle v Brive - Johnny Hammond and Dewi Morris Couple of today's Heineken Cup games... Harlequins v Clermont - Miles Harrison and Stuart Barnes Treviso v Leicester - Simon Ward and Michael Lynagh Does anyone know (or want to hazard a guess) on how many/if all games the commentary are actually on-site? I'm mostly referring to say red button games done in France/Italy? Watching a bit of Treviso and Leicester at the mo. Not entirely convinced the commentary is on-site. |

BBC Athletics - Great Edinburgh Cross Country
Presenter: Jonathan Edwards Commentators: Andrew Cotter, Brendan Foster and Paula Radcliffe Foster and Radcliffe acted as pundits for the pre-race coverage; good to see that Andrew Cotter has become such a fixture in the BBC Athletics team, I think he is a fantastic commentator. No Steve Cram, perhaps he is still on holiday. |

Would I be right in thinking some of the Eurosport commentators are in Melbourne for the Aussie Open and some not ?

Quote:
Maybe because the afternoon was televised. The evening session was red button only. I think he did the same last year. Its not that far between the venues
It's good that he's combining the two now, it did seem to be a shame for him to miss the final of the darts in previous years after working on every other day of the tournament. |

Just listening to TMS on 5 Live Sports Extra and Charles Dagnall is currently commentating, and I can't help thinking how similar his voice sounds to Jimmy Savile!
