One for the graphics fans (assume it's for World Feed stuff)

Yep, they're world feed. Scorebar will be in colour though, for the avoidance of doubt!

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.
Thanks.

Interesting that Sat night EFL is being presented from Sky studios – when did that last happen on a regular basis?

A very good Martin Tyler interview https://www.theguardian.com/football...in-christendom
Talking about commentating on World Cups he says, 'I think I might have one more go in Russia.'

Martin Tyler was at the Chelsea press conference earlier. Thinking he might be on Arsenal and then stay in London for Monday nights game.
That'll be for the world feed.

Might allow for goals show to be done more easily? Also easier to get pundits to a studio in London where they can do other commitments than let's say Preston, nottingham or newcastle.

Premier League - Manchester City v Sunderland (BT Sport 1/1HD)

Jake Humphrey presents alongside Rio Ferdinand and Richard Dunne.

Commentators Darren Fletcher, Steve McManaman and Glenn Hoddle

Reporter Des Kelly

At least this is what I assume given the team at the Etihad. It could be that Hoddle is a pundit but it looks more likely that the 3 man commentary team has returned.

Maybe, then, it would be better to wait for confirmation that just assuming?

Thanks for sharing. I still can't make my mind up on if I love or hate the new PL branding and graphics. But i think they are growing on me.

After spending a good hour or so having to look at them while (unsuccessfully) trying to log into their Fantasy Football website, I've decided I'm not a fan of the new graphics. Greatest League in the World certainly doesn't have the greatest graphics or website in the World.

Interesting studio for the PLP coverage - can't decide if I like it or hate it.

Simon Thomas joined by Thierry Henry, Alan Smith and Jamie Redknapp for Sky's first PL game of the season.
Surprised none of Sounness, Carragher or 'The Greatest Pundit that Ever Lived' being used as pundits on this game.

Titles the same as last season's Super Sunday. Not a big issue but I remember I always used to think the Saturday lunchtime games felt like 'just another game' at times back when they used to use the old Super Sunday graphics.
For any criticism of SNF, I liked the fact it had its own titles.

Still a strong line up. I'm guessing Smith might switch to Comms later on

Same studio and line-up as ever for Soccer Saturday. Trailed into by the SSN presenter as the 'popular and prestigious' Soccer Saturday.

10am-12pm was also billed/shown as Soccer Saturday on SSN, however was just branded like this but essentially a normal SSN programme.

Looking at the new Premier League world feed graphics, looks like BT's new graphics have tried match them/or go for a similarish style on all their output.

That hour's build up seems far to long for me, ok the start of the season etc but as time goes on i think they will struggle, half hour for me would be just about perfect or perhaps a little longer on the much bigger games of the season.

i really think the same will also be said for Friday night games and Sunday's but i can understands Monday night's as clearly they will have the weekends action to talk about.

I was only half-watching but did Sky have a single betting advert break before the start of the second half as well as the first?

Indeed they did - didn't have one before the 2nd half last season.

A 'sponsored by TagHauer' DOG appears next to the scoreboard every 15 minuteswhuch it didn't have last season. Otherwise as you were.

Have the rules changed? I noticed the sponsors' on the cricket captions, too.

It's like being back in 1990 when Sky covered sport on Sky One and the sponsors were on the captions.

Incidentally, Sky, unlike BT are doing a unified UHD/HD broadcast with the same commentators and non UHD viewers are getting a downscaled version.

BT are going to do the same from this season, and do a single unified production.

Good start to the season from a great pairing. Is this Parry's 20th season at Sky?
