JSC are using an english setup.. im shocked..

they have got the guy from ITV to anchor it and using Lee Dixon & Trevor Francis as studio pundits..

I thought it was ITV pictures until he said "Champions League here on Al Jazeera Sports, press 1 for arabic and 2 for english audio on your handset"

Much better than ART Sports already

opsmonkey,

You Should know that the commentators for the Premiership comes from the company that holds the production rights to the Premiership not the broadcast right. Sky, ESPN and others only fill in the Preview Hour or Half time with there own content back in studio or pitch side, The commentators are pooled for broadcasting for Sky, ITV or other, For football not shown live on the Sky Network in the UK commentators for ITV from time to time will do commentating ( for overseas use only) as they are pooled ITV commentators.

Any Gray & Ian Dark (Boxing as well) are about the only commentator that are payed to co-host Sky Sports shows when not commentating on any certain nights, As for the rest of the ITV & Sky commentators they are hired by the Production rights holders, which I can not think off the name off the top of my head !

This does not conflict with Internationl match coverage, Champions League etc as Sky & ITV pay directly for there Normal commentators because the Production rights are there own or UEFA run productions....

We at home listen to the same voices every week and blind folded we know what channel were on, but the funny thing is these Guys are hired per match basically by different TV companys but also production companys...

Please Note:
This is only the case with EPL Football... no other sports coverage is affected like this it only the case because of the Broadcasting and Production rights of the Premiership are two seperate things...

Intresting stuff. So basically you are saying sky are not responsible for the shooting, editing and transmission of a live feed?

All along i thought its sky technology being used by EPL to make quality live football.

If you compare english soccer live to all other EU tv coverage you will see a huge huge difference in quality.

This production company is on top of its game.

So the likes of andy Gray are not sky employees after all?
