MotoGP is back this weekend - no major change to their graphics as far as I can see, though they've added a 'United for Peace' tag to their bug when they're not in race coverage.

BT Sport have added the Ukrainian flag to some of their pres elements in their Premier League match:

(the 'Football Stands Together' logo is in place of the usual Albert Sustainable Production one)



It also features on the replay wipe, but on the domestic feed only.

Unless you're the Russian rights holder, I guess.

Not great the PL produced a different feed for them. Was that "Football Stands Together" graphic yellow and blue on the world feed?


One bit of news which the tabloids have got themselves excited about but doesn't seem to have been picked up in more credible circles is with Russia banned from bidding and a belief Turkey are set to withdraw it looks like the UK & ROI bid to host Euro 2028, which hasn't really even been put together yet, will be unchallenged and therefore win by default.

I'm not so sure it's a official feed - more something the Russian broadcaster did to cover up the Ukrainian flag. The broadcast cuts to a shot of a Burnley flag outside the stadium during the clapping at the start of the match (with audio muted), and the graphics don't animate on or off.

Assuming these requirements will be retained, I don't see Russia or Turkey getting close to having positive feedback to the human rights element of the bid proccess anyway. Turkey did lose 12-4 to Germany in the vote for Euro 2024.

From what I read the PL were trying to terminate the Russian contract.

Here we go again ? Just pull the bloody plug

I'm surprised it hasn't been already

Even if they can or do, i could see the Russian broadcaster just taking someone else's feed anyway.

Sounds like Abigail Davies will be part of the BBC coverage of the World Snooker Championships after being the reporter/interviewer for BBC Wales at the Welsh Open this week.

All matches are on th relevant version of BBC Two (or the BBC Scotland channel) bar two Wales matches on S4C. Good to see 14 matches getting linear outings, a needed step up!
(PS: The lack of consistency in BBC channel logos on there should be no surprise)
