Some minor tweaks to the Sky Sports News HQ studio given the news of Muhammed Ali's death. The backdrop behind the presenters, normally showing a fake newsroom view now shows a black backdrop with a picture of Ali, and his name. Also the ticker has changed to all black with white text. The sidebar has also gone black showing quotes, facts and tributes about him.

You're an "nba fan", which by its very definition necessitates staying up late beyond midnight to watch games (unless you're not really an NBA fan and just a plastic shill) and 10:45pm on a non-school night is TOO LATE for you?

You mean it's too late for you. Nothing stopping you from recording it or watching it on BBC iPlayer at a time that suits you.

BBC just tweeted it's at 9:30. Is that early enough for you?

They've moved it then as it was tweeted earlier that it was at 10:45.

The Musketeers is cancelled and Casualty pulled forward to 8:30.

A nice tribute at the end of the French Open final from ITV.

The BBC tribute is quite lenghthy at 80 minutes.
