Same graphics on Sky Germany




It should be although sky Germany use a similar setup they opt in to the court feeds just like the BBC.

ESPN USA will be the odd one out as always with its own scoreboard

Not a fan of how it animates on and off the screen but that's my criticism of the new BBC Sport graphics as a whole.

TSN in Canada using the ESPN graphics too. I've seen a tweet somewhere.

Isn't TSN basically ESPN Canada?

20% owned by EPSN, yes. Doesn't necessarily have all of the same rights though.

Today at Wimbledon is back.

Clare Balding muttered "Federer has won" before her opening lines, probably not realising her mic was live, not the best start but then she went on to say it again.

Marion Bartoli is her guest so I suppose that means she won't be on ITV's football coverage anymore.

What a loss to ITV's football coverage that will be.

Yes this makes me wonder if the Eurosport programme is a tie in with the world feed producers. But I've not seen the programme myself as I don't have Eurosport at the moment.

I suspect the highlights and their live coverage of the finals will be the world feed commentary, given many of their usual team are currently working for the BBC.

Interesting, haven't bothered to build their own set or replace the 'Live at Wimbledon' branding. 'Live at Wimbledon' being an web stream run each year over the last few years.

It's the branding they use for tall their video clips on social media too.

They're Reusing BBC Commentary too. Inverdale, Henman and Courier on Djok. v Ward.
