Doesn't look like there is any truth to the whispers about ITV teaming up with Eurosport for the US Open tennis after it was dropped by Sky - provisional schedules for ITV channels are out for the week starting 27 August and there's no sign of it.
Something called Soccer Saturday Prematch is coming up at 10am on Sky Sports News. Not sure what this involves and I presume they wouldn't stretch Stelling for an extra two hours. Maybe it's a once off for the first day of the season.
Sky Sports have updated their football smartphone app to increase the video content, including their new goals service. One of the videos is a "Saturday preview" which uses the new PL branding for transitions but otherwise the normal Sky graphics.

Shame but it was a rumour which didn't pick up any momentum. Guess the best we can hope for is they might have picked up the rights from next year but I doubt it.
Be nicer and more tolerant to each other. Them's the rules.
Sky Sports investment in 4K, clearly, to me anyway, paying off with a much improved HD picture on their Season Opener coverage. The detail showing in Redknapp's jacket and the pitchside astroturf is considerable.
I like how Sky Sports still have that DOG animation that says 'Even Better in HD' underneath. Are they going to change it to 'Even More Better in UHD'?
