If TNT are affiliated with anyone, it’s Ryan Dynamite Day, Shirley.

£30.99 a month. However when I was going to cancel my Discovery plus subscription a month ago they offered me TNT sports half price for 7 months so £15.49 a month and I thought long and hard about it and I went ahead with it.
They show a lot of Football and Cricket and will of course be showing the Tennis French Open now. However I certainly will not be renewing it once my offer expires.

They're aren't a great company, to be honest.

Their customer service sucks if you ever have a problem, and they're terrible for putting up prices all the time.

Let's see where this goes.

Any news?

I am no longer able to watch the BBC. So I am no longer able to watch any snooker :sad:

What can I do? I'm not going to pay 40 pounds. I don't watch any other sports. They say the price has gone up because people need to pay for the football license fees, but I only watch snooker...

Assumed drink & drugs were involved, often is with the rich and famous :hmmm:

We are allowed to :party: sometimes. I just prefer to watache snooker then drink. Thats when it isn't moved from BBC 2 to the red button. I really shouldn't touch the red button.

who wants more upheaval?

https://www.wbd.com/news/warner-bros-di ... -companies

discovery warner bros are splitting their network and streaming businesses.

what this means for snooker rights and broadcasting is anyone's guess, but tnt sports/discovery will now be a separate part from hbo max.
