So I don't know this one! But as for studios, FNF and MNF from Sky, Saturday lunchtime PL from ground, Saturday evening EFL from Sky. Super Sunday as usual.
Soccer Saturday is on Sky One & Pick TV tomorrow according to someone in the ratings thread, no doubt in response to the new BT show

Woah! Mentions of pixels. But I do hope it isn't 19cm!
Sgorio are also in on the football results 'action' this year, with a web only programme starting at 4.30pm until it comes onto 'normal' TV at 5pm. A bit odd that it hasn't just started at 4.30pm anyway, as Saturday afternoons on S4C are just repeats.
In previous years, it's either had the vidiprinter displayed during the WPLs' 3.45pm games, or when for last season, live games moved from Sunday afternoon (when par tof the larger 'Clwb' show) back to Saturday evening, the results were shown for about 10 minutes at 4.45pm when it came on air.

Because they are a subscription TV service who aren't crazy enough to put their best programming onto their FTA service.
Of course, whether or not it is better than the BBC offering is purely a matter of opinion. Personally I haven't seen enough of either to say definitively which is better in my opinion, but all that shouting for mostly no apparent reason on Soccer Saturday makes my head hurt (Stelling is the only real attraction for me),

Martin Tyler was at the Chelsea press conference earlier. Thinking he might be on Arsenal and then stay in London for Monday nights game.
Seeing as Radio 5 Live's new season plans have been discussed over the page, there has been a couple of significant changes to talkSPORT's Premier League commentary line-up that are probably worth mentioning here.
Last night it was announced that Jim Proudfoot is going to become the station's lead commentator on their Sunday afternoon games, primarily Premier League matches kicking off at 1.30pm - taking over from Sam Matterface. The timing of this move makes sense, given that we're at the beginning of a new Premier League rights cycle and Proudfoot returned to talkSPORT (after a four-year spell with Absolute Radio) one season into the previous deal. Matterface will retain his position as the station's commentator on talkSPORT's Saturday 5.30pm Premier League live games, but there should now be a much more even split of the station's commentary matches between the two.
I imagine Proudfoot's expanded workload on talkSPORT will not affect his work on the Premier League's TV international feed. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he regularly commentates on standalone Saturday afternoon games, kicking off at either 12.45pm or 5.30pm, but doesn't tend to cover Sunday matches for them - so this move should not interfere with his TV work.
The other change to talkSPORT's commentary roster is that their regular Premier League co-commentator for the past six seasons, Stan Collymore, left the station abruptly towards the end of Euro 2016. Stan's permanent successor(s) either as co-commentator or on their post-match phone-ins has yet to be announced, and it looks likely that at least initially a rolling pool of different pundits will replace him. This weekend, it'll be Matterface and Stuart Pearce commentating on Manchester City v Sunderland on Saturday and Proudfoot and Danny Higginbotham calling Bournemouth v Manchester United on Sunday, with the co-commentators set to co-host the phone-ins on the respective matchdays.
Recently-launched sister station talkSPORT 2 has taken over from Absolute Radio as the place broadcasting second pick Saturday 3pm Premier League games - Middlesbrough v Stoke City is their first live game in this slot tomorrow. Chris Cooper and Michael Gray will commentate on that one, although given their geographical locations I suspect that the commentary teams on these matches may vary from week to week and will often be people based in and around the places staging each selected fixture.

On my epg, it says 'NEW: Gillette Soccer Saturday' as the description. This could mean it's going to be a regular show on Pick?
And tonight on Brighton vs Forest, Scott Minto is joined by Keith Andrews and Peter Beagrie, with Daniel Mann and Andy Hinchcliffe commentating.

might be still a once off
it should be a teaser content for sky sport
'The Greatest Pundit that ever lived' has confirmed on Twitter that he is appearing on Super Sunday and MNF.
But enough about Dwight Yorke.
Also call me a killjoy but I think the BBC are overdoing this whole 'Lineker underpants' thing. Not sure why we need 2 videos and a few articles about it.
One article fair enough but at the moment, though it's obviously not the case, it feels likely BBC thinks we should watch MOTD to see Lineker's underpants rather than highlights of the football.
And yes I realise I sound a total misery above

NEW in the EPG description simply indicates it is not a repeat.
Soccer Saturday is presently not scheduled for the following two Saturdays. That might change if BT's show does quite well though

Anyone who watches MotD for the football will be watching regardless.
Everybody knows it's a football highlights show.
Linekar's undies are being used as a hook for viewers who don't tune in every week
