The Sport Thread

RTÉ2's CL coverage had 30 minutes build-up to Man City vs Real Madrid tonight.

RTÉ's coverage has a smaller desk placed in the middle of Studio 5 which was not placed underneath the UFEA CL logo shown on the video wall at the very start of it's broadcast. The UFEA CL on the video wall was located left from the small desk. The desk in Studio 5 only fits 2 analysts & the presenter. RTÉ2 has the stadium crowd noise provided from UFEA added into their match coverage.

George Hamilton & Stephen Kelly are doing the match commentary from Dublin.

Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

Regis Philbin was part of television royalty in the U.S. His work in it's television industry throughout his whole career was 2nd to none.

His role as host of WWBTAM was groundbreaking to watch when the show was beginning in it's infancy in the U.S.

It was really a wonderful experience to see his some of his TV broadcasting craft come alive when I had watched the recent ABC documentary about the show in the U.S. on Youtube when his old friend Jimmy Kimmel was appointed host of celebrity versions of the show. I'm so glad that Regis had the opportunity to visit the most recent of Millionaire when it was airing on ABC this year.

It's really sad to hear tonight that Regis Philbin has passed away. The man was a living legend to television hosts worldwide.

May he rest in peace.
