could another channel pick it up...
The only channel I can think of that would even contemplate taking an interest would be Premier Sports. |

To those who this may interest. Sky's US Open tennis coverage will mainly be on Sky Sports 3 (first week) and Sky Sports 1 (second week) instead of Sky Sports 2 which normally carries the baulk of the fortnight. I'm not sure if this affects anyone though as Sky Sports is no longer available via BT anyway?

World Athletics Championships on BBC1 from 6am this morning
Hosted by Jonathan Edwards ( who I think has really now matured into a very good anchor, he asks some very good questions ) with Paula Radcliffe and Colin Edwards Commentators - Steve Cram, Paul Dickenson and Andrew Cotter I am wondering if the ubiquitous Mr Cotter will be promoted to number 2. He was doing a few track events whilst Paul Dickenson was doing mainly the field stuff. Be interesting to see who does what once Jonathan Edwards returns to commentary and does the field event stuff. |

Fingers crossed though. |

For the world feed Peter Matthews, Steve Ovett and Rob Walker. I'm not a fan of Rob Walker as a track and field commentator. A bit falsely overenthusiastic with a tendency to state the obvious.
Anybody else thinking Andrew Cotter is moving ahead of Paul Dickinson in the BBC pecking order ? |

No, they are sharing track and field, with Steve Ovett track only.

Matthews and Ovett have been together on the World Championships world feed for quite a few years, since at least 2003. |

Friday 16th August - BT Sport 1
Live Top 14 Rugby Union: Montpellier Herault v Toulon Jill Douglas presenting from the studio alongside Simon Shaw and Tom May Commentators: Alastair Eykyn and Tom May Craig Doyle conducted a (pre-recorded) interview with Jonny Wilkinson during the build-up. As we've seen during their European football coverage, this is another case of a studio pundit for their lengthy build-up doubling up as co-commentator. At the top of the programme, Jill mentioned that BT Sport would be showing a decent amount of live games from the Top 14 (I think she may have said 45 live games but I could well be wrong). |
