Notice the qualifying is live on Sky 1 this weekend as well.

Liking the new F1 graphics, nicer and clearer. Full names are in, car numbers are out, everything is flat and we've gone from parallelograms to rectangles.

Oh no, it's all a bit bland looking now isn't it? And I bet they still haven't fixed the one main problem with the graphics, the fact the text is in ALL CAPS and not Title Case.

I think it's nice and clear. They've got rid of car numbers which were annoying and confusing. Capitals is fine for driver names.

Does ITV retain FTA highlights?

PRL's press release - http://www.premiershiprugby.com/news/35294.php#.VQcVHULO_0s

does mention the following:
"Extended highlights rights for all 135 Aviva Premiership Rugby matches per season from 2015-16"

That's not to say ITV won't also broadcast highlights - BT do already broadcast highlights of PRL matches.

Let's hope that's their rugby budget used up.

Roy Keane has been on premier league tv as well, Gary Lineker used to work on Al Jazerras Champions League coverage before they made the move to Doha.

Your post is a bit out of context but I think everyone would regard these cases as a differet kettle of fish.

Strangely worded tweet. It suggests that the show will now be on BBC Two instead of BT Sport!
Me thinks Ms Balding should have used the word 'also' instead of 'now'
