mike1944 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Interesting story about the new FreeSports channel coming to all platforms -- http://www.a516digital.com/2017/08/freesport-confirms-freesat-details.html The channel, being launched by the people behind Premier Sports and the former Setanta UK service, has confirmed it will appear to viewers on Freesat channel 252, in addition to the previously announced slots on Sky 424 and Freeview / YouView (BT/TalkTalk) channel 95. The channel expects to reach 22 million homes from September.Further information on sports types to be screened on the channel have also been provided: FreeSports will feature Football, Rugby League, Tennis, Ice Hockey, MMA, Basketball, Cricket, Speedway, Nascar, Athletics and Wrestling, essentially beccoming a free-to-air version of Premier Sports, which already provides coverage of these sports on a pay TV basis. I wonder if it might possibly feature Swedish or even Polish TV as it is the same people behind Premier Sports 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Maybe Toni Frankitti has done a deal with them? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike1944 Posted August 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) What platform is this on quasartech, no listings for Sky (424) or Freeview (95) yet that I can see Edited August 25, 2017 by mike1944 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) I wish they would not keep changing the channels as the bl##dy system I have got is a pain to retune and get rid of all the crap channels so they do not have to be bypassed when looking through the prog list searching to see what is on. Have retuned and got it on channel 95 on one tv and 273 on another but it just states starting in Sept. BT sports preview has disappeared from freeview,and this seems to have taken over the channel, is this part of BT?.

uk_martin Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I wonder if it might possibly feature Swedish or even Polish TV as it is the same people behind Premier Sports If it's a "free" service then my expectation will be that it will be to Premier Sports what Dave / Yesterday / Gold (etc) are to BBC / ITV - a reruns and "look what you could have seen" channel. I'm sure that the hope amongst speedway fans is to get something for nothing (as usual) but that's not how I see how the TV stations work.

Do not care if the Speedway is a day or two behind the actual meetings, Channel 4 used to show the Speedway GPs a week after they were run and that was OK We will soon find out if Swedish Speedway is live or not. Am looking forward to what they are showing apart from football, they can stuff that. TV prog guide menu only goes up to thurs and at the moment shows nothing, so will keep checking it and report when they are showing speedway, unless another poster beats me to it from some other source.

Diamondlil Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 BT sports showcase is still on preview channel 115 Should read freeview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is EPG, as there are still no listings on freeview for speedway. Also if they are starting in Sept most speedway will have ended by then so did they state they would be showing and when?.

mike1944 Posted September 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Just checked, they have Swedish Speedway next Wednesday. 9pm to 11pm, also on Thursday 3.30 to 5.30 though I suspect this will be repeat of Wednesday's meeting. Apparently they own the rights to Swedish speedway for 2018 so I expect they will cover this next season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
