TNT Sport 4 epg says Liverpool v Newcastle actually showing is Live Skiing. Now showing Liverpool v Newcastle must have been an overrun of skiing

@Anonymous what seems wrong is that having moved Eurosport content to TNT Sports channels it seems that TNT/EETV are not correcting the EPG for overrunning events. The Eurosport channels were poor at revising schedules. TNT have the capability to do so by adjusting the EPG . Let's see how they perform. Day 1 indicates they could do better.

Hi @Anonymous Thanks for making us aware of this: Did it say that it was a reply of Wednesdays match between Liverpool and Newcastle United?

Thanks for confirming that @Anonymous.

I've had a check and if you scroll back to this listing and select Liverpool vs Newcastle, it will show this match via catch-up.

I'll still go ahead and get this flagged with the relevant team so they're aware of the issues, though 😊

Whilst the EETV EPG for 28 Feb for TNT Sport 4 has indeed been corrected. This was done retrospectively ie at a later date.

Ironically the ski race completed virtually on time but there was a protest that went to the jury and TNT continued to await the jury decision and race presentations which resulted in what appears to be significant overrun.

So we really need EETV to ensure that TNT /Youview EPG programme schedule change process is functioning efficiently as here it occurred far too late.

@garybs29 I suspect that simulcasting UFC main card on two channels was a commercial decision designed to maximise viewers of the event. Given that the Prelimiinary ufc was on Sport 3 before the main event you retain the viewers who were watching the undercard and not require them to change channel. Sport 1 had Live Boxing prior to the UFC main card so you attempt to persuade those viewers to remain watching that channel rather than switch off or go channel surfing. Similar approach that WBD have done (when they have the matches) by placing Premiership Rugby on same channel immediately after Premier League football on Saturday afternoons
