rf_fozzy Feb 2021 2:51pm, 1 Feb 2021 12,964 posts	0 rf_fozzy No idea. If it's not on Freeview, I can't get it anyway, so Boring Sky never gets my acceptance. I understand that TMS haven't got the rights though sadly.

Oscar the Grouch Feb 2021 2:53pm, 1 Feb 2021 2,524 posts	0 Oscar the Grouch There was a suggestion that both BBC and C4 were still involved in discussion a couple of days ago. I think this is not an uncommon situation in India from memory.

rf_fozzy Feb 2021 2:55pm, 1 Feb 2021 12,966 posts	0 rf_fozzy Talksport is like having an icepick driven into your brain very slowly That's not coverage, it's just painful.
Oscar the Grouch Feb 2021 2:58pm, 1 Feb 2021 2,527 posts	0 Oscar the Grouch Talkshte... I do* really want to listen/watch though. I was hoping for some tv to break up my work days on Friday and Monday (Tuesday will be a rest day)
ThorntonRunner Feb 2021 3:01pm, 1 Feb 2021 4,548 posts	0 ThorntonRunner A couple of days ago the buzz was that Channel 4 were the front runners which would be great if they get it - first test free to view since 2005?
