Not anytime soon. You can tell the producers love his quirks, it seems to be highly encouraged to the point where its a little over done.
.
exactly he went from being one of my favorite commentators to one of the worst commentators on sky now, I really hate his stints on commentary now, he just talk so much crap, I always assumed that the abuse he got in twitter made him go AWOL in the comm box, He really shouldn't try to be like Michael Vaughan in twitter, Vaughan loves the abuse from indian and Aussies fans, but it looks like bumble can't take the abuse.

1st Test Match
England vs New Zealand
Presenter David Gower,
Commentators, David Gower, Michael Atherton, Nasser Hussain, David Lloyd, Ian Bothan, Ian Smith, Michael Holding and guest Commentators Andrew Strauss.

Don't know if this has been reported yet but Charles Sale has reported that ITV will show 4 darts tournaments. I know that Sky are not showing the UK Open anymore but Sky have all other tournaments in long term deals. ITV may have European Championship and Players Finals but what is the 2 other tournaments if this report is true

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...demy-side.html

He says in the last paragraph:
A lot of sports are going to suffer when money is diverted into the battle for TV football rights following BT Sport’s entry into the market. But darts is more than holding its own, with ITV agreeing a new deal to show four tournaments.

why does bumble continue to get rude on twitter, he doesn't even accept other people opinion.
Phenil Shah ‏@shahphenil 30m
@BumbleCricket Anderson doesn't even average 30. Nowhere in the league of steyn
“@shahphenil: @BumbleCricket Anderson doesn't even average 30. Nowhere in the league of steyn” Obviously you don't know cricket
@BumbleCricket sadly old bums you only have to compare their test records and the facts don't lie, Jimmy's good but he's not on Steyns level
@francoise101 how sporting of you ... Very narrow .. As I said earlier ... Kallis/Sobers ... Best to keep quiet

Im not sure what is wrong with bumble at the moment, but when he done the forum during the last day of there televised CC game.

He bended down, as somebody had sent a email about growing potatoes, and he commented, on, about he has a bit of cancar in his knee, maybe his feeling out of sorts

The Wales national rugby union team's two-match tour of Japan will be shared between BBC Wales and S4C, as confirmed in an article about Bradley Davies captaining Wales on the BBC's Scrum V/Welsh Rugby website.

JAPAN V WALES
Venues:
Hanazono Stadium, Osaka & Prince Chichibu Memorial Rugby Ground, Tokyo Dates: Saturdays 8 & 15 June, 2013 Kick-offs: 06:00 BST Coverage - First-Test: (Osaka) - Live on BBC One Wales, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru & online Coverage - Second Test : (Tokyo) - Live on S4C, BBC Radio Cymru, BBC Radio Wales & BBC online
The First Test will be on BBC One Wales, rather than Scrum V's usual BBC Two Wales home, with the Second Test on S4C as stated. There will be commentary on both games on BBC Radios Wales and Cymru as well.

Click here for the source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/22619301

In other news, Ronnie Irani has left his role as the co-host talkSPORT's Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast effective immediately. It was a management decision which was announced during his final show after nearly six years on the programme this morning. Not TV-related news I know, but I feel it's big enough story from the radio sports broadcasting sector to be worth a mention in here.

I don't necessarily think he's rude, it's just very direct the way he comes across. It may just look rude the way it is written.

However, I wouldn't remotely blame him for being rude on there if you look at some of the abuse he cops on Twitter from people.

Saturday 25th May - BBC Two Wales

Scrum V Live: Ulster v Leinster

Ross Harries presenting from the Royal Dublin Society alongside Martyn Williams and Sean Holley

Commentators: Gareth Charles, Jonathan Davies and Martyn Williams

Reporter: Phil Steele, joined by Paul Wallace for pitchside analysis

There are no commentary options today as live coverage of Radio 1's Big Weekend is taking precedence over the rugby on the BBC Red Button. From next season, Scrum V's RedZone alternative commentary on Friday night games will be simulcast on BBC Radio Wales (source: click here).

I personally think that the Sky sports cricket 'A' team that they use for text matches are the best sports punditry team in the world atm

I could listen to people like Atherton, Hussian and Holding all day long. They always seem to pick a top class expert from the opposing team to, Pollock, Warne, Smith, Raja etc etc

Sometimes the rain delays when they are in the studio debating stuff are more interesting than watching the actual action

I like the Redzone like yourself and watch it the weeks Ulster aren't on BBC Two NI but be honest I think Radio 1 Big Weekend should take preference over the Redzone

Never mind the RedZone, Radio 1's Big Weekend taking priority on the Red Button today meant that the Pro12 Grand Final wasn't televised live on Freeview in England, which was a real disappointment for me.

Wakefield Trinity Wildcats V Castleford Tigers - Commentators - Rod Studd, John Kear, Shaun McRae and Paul Cullen. Touchline - Graham Beecroft

Also they had Stuart Cummings who is an ex referee. He was used on all 4 games to give insight into video referee decisions etc. And he agreed - WE WAS ROBBED

Anybody remember Ben Proe ? He seems to have vanished from Sky coverage

But they would of had to cut the Pro12 Final short as the Diamond League Athletics from New York was live on the Red Button from 6pm-8pm so I think the BBC made the right decision

Ian Darke doing the Froch Kessler fight tonight with Jim Watt summarising on SBO.

Wonder what Nick Halling thinks about Darke being brought back for the big fight?

Darke has been the main boxing man for many years, but Halling does most of Sky boxing nowadays with Darke and his ESPN commitments.

I was slightly surprised to hear Johnnie Hammond and Ieuan Evans commentating on Sky's Aviva Premiership Final package.

That said it was a very well put together show, even if it did leave me with the feeling that it may have been done off-tube.

Shock of the season! Highlights or not. I know Harrison/Barnes will be gearing up for the Lions but that's a week away.

I've not seen the Sky highlights in full, just brief pictures on SSN I very much doubt it would of been off-tube, especially as Sky had their own 'OB' live graphics etc (with a clock and so forth, I think which the World Feed would of taken).
