Cricket start times

Trying to watch the European T20 cricket, it says it starts at 13.45 so when we go to watch it asks if we want to be notified. This happens all the time, we end up missing a fair portion of the actual match. Why not just start it when it's due to start?.

This was on TNT Sports, wasn't it?

I think the problem was that due to various life sport going on at the same time, some content was pushed to the red button, and on digital streaming option so they opted to not show the t20 cricket on their main four channels. (If in Roi, red button is available, but the streaming option of hbo max isn't)

They had endurance motor racing (4 hours of silverstone) on one, I think motogp on another, and snooker too early this afternoon.

I had seen the cricket was on red button throughout the morning and early afternoon.

Due to the 4 main channels, they do make choices to prioritise some stuff, particularly on weekends when a lot of sport is going on.

And sometimes in their prioritisation choices are strange ie A few weeks ago during the downhill world cup, they cut the coverage with the last 3 riders to go to people chattering in their studio for 30 minutes, instead of the last 3 riders.

Their choices are endless source of frustration for me.

Complaints should be directed to TNT Sports and WBD, as this is outside of sky's control
