Article implies some games will still be live on BBC or ITV.

Maybe now BBC and ITV will have to broadcast matches other than those involving United,City and Liverpool as surely TNT will have first dibs on picking those.

Putting their prime products behind a paywall doesn't seem to have helped golf or cricket

IMO will just increase illegal streaming further. I pay for SKY footy but will not pay another expensive subscription with TNT.

You are right it’s killing cricket, my interest in cricket is disappearing rapidly due to overseas test cricket not being on sky and the impact of the Harlem Globetrotters equivalent of the 100.

Always thought six live games a round was too many anyway. Particularly when they choose games like City versus Huddersfield, who wants to watch that?
