Commentary on TNT and other WB brands

[Wyndbrook]

albeit only on Discovery+ it looks like, whilst TNT entertain us with Ultimate pool & UFC reloaded

Must get my naming correct, just seems crazy when live sport is available.

I believe it's called snooker

If it is the ultimate pool, does that mean it's the last time it will block up the schedules?

I've noticed this as well......You'd think live sport would take precedent, but it doesn't. There was a recent weekend lunch time and TNT had 3 highlights shows on their channels, plus live Premier League football......

no no, it was a good spot, sorry, not a criticism at all. and Id agree youd think all live sport if they have it and their altenative is a repeat of something, show the live thing because thats actually what subscribers want to watch

but I think its because the Aus open tennis starts and theyre going in like with 3 live channels at the same time. but doesnt even look like a highlights catch up at the moment.

I'm going to pay for Discovery Plus again I think. March to September anyway. The price is outrageous but I can't be bothered messing around with VPNs again this year.

Hatch has encountered a good journey in Australia. Ashes, Aussie Nats and the TDU.

Hatch has encountered a good journey in Australia. Ashes, Aussie Nats and the TDU.

Apparently he was only in Australia for one of the tests: commentated on the rest of them presumably from his spare bedroom. And not commentating on the WTDU. And no TDT coverage of the nationals, so presumably not on that either.

He is in Adelaide for the TDU. I saw him with my own eyes.

Ok, I can't argue against that.

I'm surprised they have him on site, and more surprised that he is there but they are not using him for WTDU (unless he is working for another broadcaster; I believe they are all freelance).

He very obviously wasn't at all the tests though, so it doesn't seem to have been one long trip.

I am not going crazy! I did see Hatch on the ground at the TDU.

He did say in commentary today that he had recently returned from Australia, but he was not working for TNT there (Jez Cox was lead commentator)

"It isn't the longest climb, just over three me... minutes. Sorry."

TBF, a climb just over three meters certainly wouldn't be the longest.

but would rate as a Cat 3 at the Vuelta!

No no... at the PNDKR!

A climb of just over the length of three yous wouldn't be the longest either.

Anyone currently watching via TNT or Discovery+ in the UK - what is the current advert situation? I assume we're probably looking at adverts in the big one day races now?

There are 2 streams on the app, one from the main channel with adverts and one without for now.

 

[Axel Hangleck]

TNT with no CX Worlds on their main channels; Tennis, Alpine Ski-ing, Aussie Football all live, plus a Golf magazine programme......

It would still be longer than three meters!

The Elite Women's race is on at 14.00 on TNT 4. That's the only racing from Hulst on TNT today. Same tomorrow with the Elite Men being the only race televised. Try Tiz, I've just watched the Junior Women's race on there.

last night they had TNT1 and TNT2 showing the same game of snooker for 3hours

Is there no-one who can tell Blythe to stop snorting down the mic, or hand him a tissue. It's deeply unpleasant to listen to.

Yeah, that's what i did........

However, the UCI Worlds are sold as a package - and the BBC have rights. But like the Downhill Worlds, they haven't bothered with the CX Worlds at all.........

It's audio torture. It has to stop. I am having nightmares.
