TNT Sports

[BangBang]

When I signed up for TNT Sports I was going from the adverts and information on their website. This said that they were the home for MLB for 2025. This is literally the only reason I took out the subscription. 

I'm now seeing that they don't have the rights to the MLB at all. Does anyone know what recourse I have for this false advertising?I have no interest in the other sports provided.

Hi @BangBang 

How are you subscribed  and to whom do you pay your subscription ?

ie is it part of an EETV package , a direct app subscription with discovery+  or via some other party ?

[BangBang]

Hi @DistinguisedGuru
I have EE sports package so I get all the Discovery stuff which also doesn't interest me! It was on offer so I thought I'd take a chance to watch some baseball which I love.
Thanks for replying.

@BangBang  There is actually coverage of the two  MLB Tokyo Series games between the Dodgers and Cubs on Tuesday 18th March and Wednesday 19th March on Tnt Sports  (1/3) and discovery+.

You may have grounds to  discuss terminating any contract if you can demonstrate  that  you are materially disadvantaged by withdrawal of the content that you were reasonably expecting to be included in your subscription. You would need to raise that issue/complaint with the company that you ordered from.

Thanks again for the reply mate. I saw that The Tokyo series was on but I think that's a separate contract from the regular MLB season.
I'll give your suggestion a go but I don't hold out much hope. They tend to have an unpleasant way of squirming out of these things. Cheers again.

@BangBang  Looking at discovery + they are now listing  MLB regular season games on 27/28 March. Yankees v Brewers , Dodgers v Tigers , Rays v Rockies ..

I was going to come back and say that they actually did cancel my contract! They had a tweet that said they didn’t have the 2025 rights. The guy on the phone agreed as did his manager. What a shocking service! They don’t have a clue what they’re doing.
I much appreciate your replies here mate.

"They had a tweet that said they didn’t have the 2025 rights. The guy on the phone agreed as did his manager. What a shocking service! They don’t have a clue what they’re doing."

Who are you saying "don’t have a clue what they’re doing"?

Bear in mind that TNT Sports is now a separate company to BT/EE. If you were talking to a BT/EE call centre, then they probably only know what is in the public domain about this.

So why am I talking to them then?  That's the number given to ask about any problems with the service so I should write rightly expect them to know about said service. That's a ridiculous and laughable excuse.

"That's a ridiculous and laughable excuse. "

You may think so, but it is the reality.
