TNT Cycling

[pippex]

Hi all

Im annoyed about the cycling gone to TNT but the decision is made so heres my query/question directly to TNT sports or to anybody who can direct me in the correct direction to get this query to the top. 

When a race comes up on its listing, its always down as "Mens Cycling Pro Series", every single race

For example, last Sundays brilliant Paris Roubaix was down as "Mens Cycling Pro Series".

Why cant they change the name to the actual name of the race? It very simple.

Tomorrow (Wed 16th) there are 2 seperate "Mens Cycling Pro Series" races yet they are completely different road races, namely Tour of Abruzzo and Tour of Limberg.

Any ideas most welcome

Thanks

Good morning @pippex.

Thanks for your feedback on this 😊

I've taken a look into this one, and in the TNT Sports app it lists 'Cycling' along with the specific race.

On TV Guides online it is just under 'Men's Pro Cycling' as the programme title, but details of the race itself should be listed within the programme description.

Where is it you're viewing this? Is it in the TNT Sports App, via the EE TV EPG, or elsewhere?

Hi, thanks for replying

Im viewing on a Sky Box, the name of the programme and all cycling programmes is "Live Cycling Pro Series - Men" and the highllights packages are listed as "Cycling Pro Series".

Obviously when i click into the info of each race, it tells me what race it is.

All im saying is that on the old Eurosport menu (on Sky box or wherever), the name of the Race was the actual name of the programme, if you know what i mean

EG - Live Football would be listed as "Manchester Utd V Scunthorpe Utd" rather than "Live Football Mens Pro Series"

Do you know where im coming from?

Thanks @pippex, this seems to be consistent across all EPGs and TV guides for TNT programmes.

Normally it displays the title as the sport / league being covered, then details of the specific event are listed in the information.

I can certainly pass this feedback on to the relevant teams as something to look at, though.

Thanks for the prompt reply

I guess that's all you can do for now, I know it's only a small thing but when your scanning hundreds of programmes, the old Eurosport system was way better, I'm sure it's an easy thing to change

For example on TNT 3 later at 6pm there's a baseball game, it's listed as 'Live MPB : Astro @Cardinals' 

Or Champions league at 7pm 'Live: Real Madrid v Arsenal' 

Very simple but effective and can be done.

Actually if i look at the TV Guide for the discovery+ app I see the listings for TNT Sports linear channels do list the programmes in what seems is a more viewer informative  format  ie for sun 13th at 10am  i have on the discovery+ TV Guide  (TNT Sport1) Paris-Roubaix  whereas the EETV EPG entry (TNT Sport 1)  says Live:Cycling World Tour Men.

So I don't see why WBD cannot provide as informative  a guide for EETV as they do for discovery +.

Im not seeing that at all anywhere, im seeing the original thing i posted above

Its annoying

[pippex]

It used to give more info on the info button as well, like where the race/stage started and finished but now its just "Mens Pro Serises" even on the info
