Apparently Sky Sports have managed to get quite a few VT clocks on air during their coverage of this World Cup, so it's good to see Channel 4 keeping up the tradition.

Yeah just never seen channel4 takes sky’s feed must be a first, sunset and vine will be producing a world feed I guess it will be on the icc website, Star Sports are at Lords as well so there’s at least three broadcast operations for this event.

Indeed yes it shouldn’t have come as a shock, either way all operations roll into the main match feed Smile

Like the TV coverage of Wimbledon, it's far easier and better just to leave things on the channel they're scheduled to be on


The BBC schedulers seem to now be thinking the same which has been a long time coming... they've been a lot better this Wimbledon than in previous years, at freeing up BBC1 at 6pm.

Probably got a lot to do with there being no major British players by the time we got to the later rounds.

Sky commentator acknowledge channel 4/More 4 move (And it goes out on the sky feed I presume as I have switched to Sky One HD already and heard it.)
