If it's live will be a bloody long night for someone. Eurosport don't pay for events if I remember correctly so it will be the stream on a pay for platform

[Zeyes]

Think they will actually manage to get most of the men's last 16 on TV then. 4 hours scheduled on ES, and they shouldn't need much more than that for 8 games. Sounds like the women will get punted into the untelevised hours though.

In fairness to them, without knowing what has been paid, it's a good deal for them.

Exactly, they showed it as recently as 2015 and Sunday evening is primetime the last time I checked.

Sure BBC did that first!

[The Ginge Reaper]

Whoever wrote that clearly thinks primetime TV only exists on weekdays.

[Tommo]

[Rogg]

Will this have actual presenters then, or just a basic feed of the stream and nothing else? Eurosport won't be accepting anything as scabby as what Frontrunner served up will they.

[Zeyes]

In fairness, the Trophy on Front Runner was miles better than the Masters coverage on ES in 2015 or on Premier Sports last year.

The biggest problem might be that they always seem to need one day to get it (more or less) right, and this time they only have two days total.

I'm guessing the commentary will be John Gwynne plus fill-ins as usual.
