Although BT Sport and Eurosport are no longer available on British television, coverage of the Champions League and Premier League football will be integrated with tennis, golf, and snooker programming under the new moniker.
Let me tell you that This Summer BT Sport will change its name to TNT Sports. But wait what are its advantages and disadvantages to its subscribers in long and short run. I will Be answering this in a few seconds.
Overview
As part of the broadcaster’s merger with Warner Bros Discovery, the business that owns the Discovery and Eurosport brands, BT Sport will change its name to TNT Sports this summer.
TNT, which currently broadcasts football, golf, and motor racing in the US and South America, has now been confirmed as the new moniker for the joint venture between Warner Bros Discovery and BT Group, ahead of a rebrand before the start of the upcoming football season.
Existing subscribers are understood to keep their current TV channel lineup, and concerns about price increases have also been allayed. According to sources, online subscribers who currently pay £29.99 per month will keep their subscription for the 2023–24 season, and they will also continue to get free access to discovery+.
The existing Premier League package, Champions League football, Discovery’s Olympics programming, two of tennis’ four major slams, and a variety of snooker and cycling content will all be available to BT Sport members.
According to Andrew Georgiou, managing director of Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe, “The TNT Sports name is already synonymous with premium live sport in a number of countries around the world and a further sign of the global scale and expertise that Warner Bros. Discovery brings to its partnership with BT.”
Price increases are not anticipated at first, so TV customers are unlikely to notice much changes. Eurosport will continue to be accessible “the same way it is today” until finally being merged into the TNT Sports brand, ending its more than 30-year tenure on UK television.
Sports fans will have the option of paying £6.99 to watch sports currently shown by Discovery (tennis, golf, snooker), or £29.99 to add European football, Premiership rugby, UFC, and some boxing to that package through TNT. The BT Sport app, through which subscribers can purchase a monthly pass to watch the channels on desktop, mobile, and tablet, will be scrapped and merged into the discovery+ platform.
Tennis, golf, and snooker will still be available to watch for £6.99, but sports lovers will also have the option to spend £29.99 to add European football, Premiership rugby, MMA, and some boxing to that bundle through TNT. The BT Sport app, which allowed users to pay a monthly fee to access the channels on their smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers, will be discontinued and incorporated into the discovery+ platform.
