Are Eurosport channels accessed through my Sky Sports Complete Pack or my TNT subscription to BT ?

dddderrick — Fri, 17 May 2024 08:42:23 GMT

I pay £33 a month for Sky Sports - Complete Pack and nearly £20 a month to BT for TNT on the Sky Platform.

I am considering stopping the TNT subscription, but want to know if that will mean I will lose access to Eurosport. Before TNT came along, a year or two back, I know that I had access to the Eurosport channels; I believe Eurosport may have been part of the Sky Signature Pack ? I can still watch Eurosport channels, but is that because of my Sky or TNT (through BT) subsciption ?

Any help much appreciated. Thanks, Dave.

Neither.... they are part of the basic entertainment pack which ever version you subscribe to😉

Although the situation which @Exiled-in-HH describes may well not continue once WBD Inc finally work out what they are actually doing with the mess of brand names, channels, apps and legacy sports rights they've managed to acquire...

On 11 May 2022, Warner Bros. Discovery (new company formed after merger of Discovery with WarnerMedia) announced an agreement to contribute Eurosport's UK operations into a joint venture with BT Group and BT Sport. WBD will serve as managing partner of the joint venture; the two networks will operate separately for an interim period, after which they will combine their operations under a new name. As part of the agreement, WBD also negotiated a deal for BT Group to distribute Discovery+ to its television and BT Sport subscribers.

While Eurosport is available on DSat the current structure will continue🤔

In the UK aren't all WBD's UK channels available in Discovery+😉

@Exiled-in-HH

The only sensible decision would be to consolidate all the different services into one app (probably Max) and drop out of broadcasting: between its myriad operations WBD has more than enough content for this.

The main obstacle is likely to be corporate inertia: that's a whole lot of Vice Presidents to sack...

Not all WBD channels, Cartoon Network and its numerous spin-offs aren't included.

Contracts need to end first ... so with respect to the near future the original comment stands😉

WBD is sounding increasingly insistent that they will be going ahead with Max in the current Sky territories with or without some kind of deal involving Sky Group.

Gerhard Zeiler, president of Warner Bros. Discovery International, spoke about the company’s UK strategy at the MoffettNathanson media conference yesterday, as first reported by Deadline.

“We want, we need to, and we will launch Max in these three markets,” Zeiler stated, referring to the UK, Germany, and Italy.

“These are three of the most important markets outside of the US. There is no reason we should not do that. Why should we disadvantage ourselves by not launching Max?”

Many thanks .... not really sure I understand it all, but I can understand that big business moves (slowly) in mysterious ways. Thanks for the detail; appreciated. Dave.

Unless you want TNT Sports you can cancel TNT Sports with EE TV and retain access to Eurosport's for the foreseeable future😉

Exiled-in-HH,

Basically I am not bothered too much about retaining TNT Sports, but would like to retain Eurosport. If I cancel TNT Sports on the Sky Platform, which I pay BT/EE each month for, how will I retain access to Eurosport ? Are you saying that my Sky Signature Pack subscription covers Eurosport ?

Thanks, Dave.

Yes😉

I'm watching Eurosport 1 HD without either Sky Sports or TNT Sports subscriptions on a Sky+ HD box😊

That is correct as the channel isn't part of the Sports package but is part of the Signature package.

Eurosport is supposed to get folded into TNT Sports brand in the UK sometime after Paris Olympics and before Winter Olympics in Italy February 2026, isn't clear how that's going to work,unless they have 2 Sport add on Max in 2026 in UK (Eurosport will be €5 in France from next month where they keeping the brand)

Exiled-in-HH — Fri, 24 May 2024 16:09:08 GMT

So until then ... neither Sky Sports or TNT Sports are required to watch Eurosport on Sky+ HD boxes😉

It probably depends on when the current agreement for Eurosport is due to end aswell.
