Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
They've put games on sports 3 before. My mate spent 18 months with Bt vision and missed 2 televised Spurs games in that time, and promptly returned to Sky at the end of his contract.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Jamie Carragher Linked to BT Sport
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has been critically lauded for his punditry since joining Sky Sports and it now looks as if BT Vision will look to repeat the trick with Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher.
Neville went straight from the dressing room into the studio and that has been cited as one of the reasons why his opinions have been so clued in.
Therefore, BT, who will be broadcasting 38 games a season for three years starting next August after winning a bid for the rights in June, are looking at current players who could make a similar transition.
And according to respected sport media journalist Charles Sale in Daily Mail, Carragher is a target as they look for a "a Premier League pundit with dressing-room knowledge."
Former Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg has also been in for talks, but if BT want a current player there are a few knocking around who have already dabbled in media work.

Neville is so much better than that Andy Gray. I used to watch the football on mute sometimes just to shut him up!

lol. My point for carragher, is that his accent is broad.
For neville, occassional relevant comments doesn't make up for the "I love man utd they can do no wrong" comments.
I prefer the bias of presenters to not be so obvious.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
It's a tribal game, and when the people presenting it show a tribal bias I think they come across as more authentic. I think Neville does alright.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I disagree. It is tribal in the morons minds.
It is actually an entertainment sport. And neville is supposed to be prresenting an unbiased view.

I guess this makes me a moron, then, but believe me when I say that Palace could be relegated, face a points deduction, and almost go completely out of business (and there's nothing entertaining about any of that), but as long as we beat Brighton home and away then it's been a good season. That makes it tribal, rather than entertaining, as far as I'm concerned. It matters to people, and not all of them are morons.

Sunset+Vine wins contract to produce BT Premier League coverage
Sunset+Vine has won the coveted contract to produce BT's new Premier League football coverage.
The independent production company was behind Channel 4's successful coverage of the London Paralympics 2012.
The Guardian reports that the contract is worth between £100m and £132m over the three years of football coverage, which former BBC presenter Jake Humphrey has been brought in to present.
Sunset+Vine has also previously produced coverage of Premiership Rugby for ESPN and England's home cricket Test matches on terrestrial TV between 1999 and 2005.
Chairman Jeff Foulser said: "Live football and rugby coverage have been a major part of our recent output and we can now put our creative talents into delivering top class and innovative coverage for BT Sports' major rights acquisitions."
Head of BT Sport Simon Green said of the deal: "We have chosen Sunset+Vine as our lead preferred partner on the basis of its creative approach and the quality of the team they have lined up to work on the programming."
Earlier this year, the telecoms company paid £738m for live TV rights for 38 Premier League games a season for three years.
