Just out of interest, how come Tim Lovejoy hasnt been on BT Sports Panel for a good few weeks now?
Wouldnt say I watch it regularly as its not the best show however I'm not sure Helen Skelton is right person to anchor such a programme. |

And just as I say this is states on his twitter page that he is presenting alongside Graham Swann with guests being Michael Owen and Gareth Thomas. Although on the theme of those perhaps not returning, reading between the lines I see Matt Dawson leaving the show to focus on the rugby with BT and Swann looks like being a permanent co-host. BT have signed him up on a deal and currently are showing no cricket; he is expected to represent BT in various different forms and it's looking like helping to anchor BTSP could be one of them.

I noticed this. I thought he was a good host and I've also noticed Matt Dawson's disappearance (although he may be busy with rugby on BT). Helen is quite good at hosting the show although I did prefer Lovejoy.

I see that BT Sports Hub (on air now) is using Product Placement - probably the Panasonic TV that they use? Not sure if it's a regular occurrence on BT Sport's programmes?

I haven't watched BT Sport for a while now, and hadn't noticed that the DOG has moved to the top corner. Looks a bit strange, since I had got used to having it in the lower corner.

I wish they'd move it to the top permanently and make it transparent, but wish in one hand, **** into the other, see which fills first..... |

Thank you for the information. I wasn't aware of the UEFA requirement. Regardless of which corner they put it in they should make it transparent, but there isn't much chance of them doing that when they haven't done it already.

Ligue 1 and Serie A rights
Was it unclear a while back what the length of the Ligue 1 and Serie A rights were? I seem to recall all that was discoverable regards Serie A was a "multiyear" or "multiple year" deal. Anyhow according to this response on the BT Community Forum BT "have the Ligue 1 rights up to & including season 2017/18. We also have the Serie A rights up to & including season 2017/18."
https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Sport...n/td-p/1230079 In February the Bundesliga was extended up to and including 2016/17. CL/EL is for 2015-18. |

BT inherited both those rights from ESPN, who were in the first year of three year deals (i.e. to end of 14/15 season). It would have been odd if the new deals weren't also for three years. |

We may not have know for certain, but I think we had guessed that both Serie A and Ligue 1 were until 2018.

It would have been odd if the new deals weren't also for three years. http://www.sportingintelligence.com/...future-291001/ I also don't remember anyone posting that end of 2018 was clearly the length of the deals! I thought that only the Bundesliga had an inherited from ESPN slant? |

The whole thing regarding "380 games" is that they have the rights to all 380 games - doesn't mean they intend to show all of those games...even I with my frankly unhealthy interest in the game would struggle to muster the interest in Sassulo-Livorno or Guingamp-Evian! With due respect to those protagonists!

BT have lost their first rights. It's not clear whether they bid, after all they were initially picked up from their ESPN purchase.
Sky Sports have signed the rights to the Top 14, France's premier rugby competition Key points: Two Live Games from Top 14 each week next season, total of 360 live Rugby Union games across all competitions. 5 year deal. |

Good spot! As for the history of Top 14 rights fairly sure they weren't to do with the ESPN purchase by BT as Top 14 was on Premier Sports for one year prior to this season (and that was subcontracted via BT Sport as BT bought the Top 14 rights before their own channels became operational buying them around August 2012). As above with Serie A and Ligue 1 some BT rights seem to be getting ascribed on here as "inherited from ESPN" (lately) when it has been previously indicated that they were in fact completely new deals. Again fairly sure the correct info is that Serie A, Ligue 1 and Top 14 don't come wrapped with "ESPN legacy" around them but were new deals put in place by BT themselves ready for channel launch but happy if someone has somehow got the definitive evidence to prove otherwise! Charles Sale, Daily Mail, 29th August 2012 Quote:
BT go French (about 4th paragraph here)BT Vision, who need to build a sports channel quickly around their Premier League portfolio next season, have bought French club rugby’s Top 14 competition — even though they cannot screen it for a year. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/art...rles-Sale.html If above is correct that would mean that Top 14 was on ESPN 2011-12, Premier Sports 2012-13 and BT 2013-14? Possibly someone will know but didn't it go without coverage in the UK for at least one season before 2011-12? Seem to remember it might have gone missing for a season! |
