Hopefully it'll be on Virgin Media as well as Sky when it does launch. I understand talks are continuing. It seems the hold up has been about VM wanting to carry Premier and Freesports as part of their top package without extra charge with Premier holding out for a separate monthly fee. Effectively Freesports and the customers are caught in the crossfire. Edited April 7, 2018 by RobMcCaffery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically Sky & Freesat Edited April 7, 2018 by Noodles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freesports then change it and eventually the epgs are changed to match, some quicker than others, clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically Sky & Freesat I'm pretty sure that's what I said Thank you for the confirmation. It's not expected to appear on Freeview due to space/cost considerations and they are reported to be still negotiating with VM over cable carriage.

Shockster Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 This is from Dave Goddards Twitter feed last Thursday. Right, as I've had people asking for months about the live Speedway coverage on Premier Sports/Freesports, I think it's finally time to respond. The reason I have not been commentating on the live Polish League meetings so far this year is because, due to them now being covered live, I am unable to travel to the studio and commentate due to my various car racing commitments. Therefore a new commentator has had to be brought in to cover them, and he is learning the job as he goes as he is new to speedway. I will however be covering the Swedish Elitserien live on Tuesday evenings this summer, beginning on May 8th (my birthday) and when the new commentator is not available will cover some of the Polish matches delayed. So international speedway has not lost my services! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Looks as if Tuesday`s match live on Premier sports(and Eleven sport 1 in Poland) is Vastervik v indianerna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your mention of Eleven Sports reminds me of a bit of media news from the past week. Despite not having a broadcast channel in the UK Eleven have outbid Sky for the UK rights to Spanish La Liga football. This may be offered as online streaming or it could mean that they are considering launching a UK channel. With their involvement in Polish speedway it might be an interesting development over here in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
