@marygeorgiegirl

That's the way global sports broadcast rights go. TNT bought France and Australia, Sky sucessfuly bid for USA and the BBC retains Wimbledon because that's currently protected in UK law.

Thanks, you've saved me a lot of money. Will not be accepting delivery of the sky box now. Glad I came on here as Sky told me they were showing the French.

Thanks again.

@Gem0805 You only get the basic discovery tier free with sky you never the premium subscription to watch Roland Garros

You need Discovery + premium which is only included "for free" if you sign up to TNT Sports via Sky.

Last year, yes, but things have changed since then (and Warner Bros Discovery Inc stockholders have been getting rather restless recently ; )

I wonder how much more restless they will get once they see how much it is going to cost WDB to rebrand Max to HBO Max again.

@MarkGoldsmith

Worth every cent apparently...

Returning the HBO brand into HBO Max will further drive the service forward and amplify the uniqueness that subscribers can expect from the offering. It is also a testament to WBD’s willingness to keep boldly iterating its strategy and approach – leaning heavily on consumer data and insights – to best position itself for success.
