Sunday 22 July

BBC2 NI: Donegal v Down- Austin O'Callaghan presents live coverage of the Ulster Senior Football Championship final from Clones. With analysis by Martin McHugh, Jarlath Burns and Sean Cavanagh, and commentary from Mark Sidebottom and Oisin McConville.

Bit of a long shot this, but does anyone have commentary/coverage details for Fish-O-Mania? I caught a bit of the talkSPORT radio fishing show A Fisherman's Blues this morning, when usual presenter Keith Arthur was chatting about Sky's coverage of the event to his stand-in Nigel Botherway.

Apparently Rob Palmer has been doing the studio hosting with Keith and a variety of guests/angles. Sky Sports News West Midlands reporter Rob Dorset got a mention during their chat (apparently he's a riverbank reporter) and they said Nigel would be involved today, although I think this was as an interviewee rather than interviewer.

Does anyone watch Fish-O-Mania and if so, how does their coverage work and who is involved? I'd be quite interested to know as I've never seen live fishing on TV.

I know that Phil Liggett, Paul Sherwen and (host) Gary Imlach are on Tour de France duty for ITV4 but who is commentating for British Eurosport?

David Harmon, Sean Kelly and Carlton Kirby are commentating.

As for studio presentation on British Eurosport, I know that James Richardson has been anchoring it, but I'm not sure who's been alongside him.

Thanks Li4m. Ned Boulting is reporting for ITV4.

It's the same team as per the past numbers of years. Chris Boardman and Matt Rendell are also involved. I posted the full details on the previous page...


ITV4 are doing a fantastic job of covering the Tour as they always do. I've enjoyed all of the highlights show including tonight's rest day programme which included a very good feature on Stephen Roche's 1987 Tour win. All of ITV4's historical pieces and the roadside tactics features with Chris and Ned have been very watchable.

To those in the know, will ITV4 be covering the Vuelta a Espana next month as they did last year? I've not heard anything regarding the rights situation, although I think I read at the time that they only had a one-year deal for the race last year.

Shelsey, have Supersports sent their own commentary team to the series against England, if so can you tell me you is commentating for them, because yesterday one of the supersports commentators were speaking to sky sports news.

Was Ian Darke going to do the Amir Khan fight, thought i read about this a few months ago or was he just never down to do this fight for Sky?

Ian Darke would have done the Khan v Peterson fight, scheduled for Champions League Final night, which was called off when Peterson failed a drugs test.

Presenter: Rishi Persad
Commentators: Mike Carlson & John Amaechi
Reporter: Ore Oduba

Amaechi also joined Rishi for punditry at the end of each quarter

Did Nasser Hussain do any of the cricket yesterday ? I am wondering if maybe Sky are giving one commentator a day off each day of the test. ( unless he was Third Man of course )

I only flicked on briefly in the evening but at that point he happened to be in the Third Man chair (reading the match programme).

Yeah he was the Third Man for the full day. Nick Knight was the one "rested" for the test as Atherton put it. (When Nick appeared on screen with a beer in hand on the balcony.)

They usually have 7 commentators but they have 8 for this match then.

It's been 8 for a couple of home test summers now. Since Warne has become the second "neutral" commentator on none Ashes tests. With Knight involved when Warne is prior engaged.

No its only 8 every now and then.

For the Windies they had 7 only

Thats the only series out of the last 6 (assuming this one continues with 8). I'd imagine because Jimmy Adams took the Kent job and they didn't see the need for another West Indian to replace him.

Thanks for that matey.
