AZPV's US Open feed has failed incoming to their studios in London, apparently due to a major power outage at the complex. The risks of tube commentary laid clear. The play after the conclusion of the game they were playing has been suspended.

Didn’t seem to affect ESPN, although I wasn’t paying close attention.
Teleporting is what we expected 2020 to be like - and it is. Kind of.
Eurosport today launched the new Cube for our coverage of the US Open and we were thrilled to welcome number one seed @KaPliskova as our first-ever guest in the mixed-reality studio with @Babsschett after her first round win. pic.twitter.com/MC5Wrk6g7i

I see the Beeb are doing interviews with holograms now as well.
There was confirmation this morning that Sebastian Vettel has signed up with the Racing Point/Aston Martin F1 team from 2021.
This news confirms these are the new driver team line-ups in place for F1 in 2021.
McLaren - Lando Norris & Daniel Ricciardo
Renault - Esteban Ocon & Fernando Alonso
Ferrari - Charles LeClerc & Carlos Sainz Jr
Racing Point/Aston Martin - Lance Stroll & Sebastian Vettel
Also some breaking news from RTÉ Sport this evening. They have announced that the upcoming Europa League 2020/21 qualifier between Shamrock Rovers vs AC Milan will be broadcast live next week from Tallaght Stadium in Dublin on RTÉ2 & RTÉ Player.

That’s all very well and good. But I’m not sure what it has to do with this forum?
Suggestion from a conversation that the PL are now being sanguine about TV going forward, considering recent HMG announcements, seemingly conceding October in full to blanket coverage. November looking increasingly likely to need supplementary coverage too. The earliest they seem to consider a return to 'as contract' coverage being December.
iFollow apparently are being consulted to see whether they have sufficient capacity to handle PL matches, in addition to their EFL contracts, with their increased potential audiences.
In news of this week's matches, BT Sport Score IS on air on BTS2 on Sat afternoon, whilst the additonal Sat BTS match CPA-SOU is on BTS1.
Meanwhile, Six Nations Rugby yesterday announced the Autumn Nations Cup, a replacement tournament for the Autumn Internationals (because the Southern Hemisphere teams can’t travel) and featuring the Six Nations, Georgia, and Fiji.
Broadcast rights for this seems a bit of muddle and the press release only said they will be announced later. However, it seems that some countries (Ireland at any rate) will honour their existing Autumn Intentational TV deals but that England at any rate will be putting place a new deal, with several media outlets convinced that this will be with Prime Video.
I’d be surprised if they have England v Ireland at Twickenham, that wouldn’t be part of the deal. They would have three games alright, the same ones RTÉ will (apparently) be showing but the third would be Ireland v Group B opponent on 5th December at Lansdowne Road.
Amazon has announced that, this November and December, live international Rugby Union will be coming to Prime Video in the UK for a new tournament – the Autumn Nations Cup... https://t.co/G5jiiDwnv4pic.twitter.com/5j47ubxEWK
