So for those in the UK, please tell me how much of a cost will be if you want to continue to watch it on TNT sports?

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.

I think it's "only" £18 a month if you upgrade through Virgin.

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.

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

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...

I’m not sure if the exact details. Heard he’d died, been busy following events on a green 12x12 felt table.
Assumed drink & drugs were involved, often is with the rich and famous

who wants more upheaval?
https://www.wbd.com/news/warner-bros-di ... -companiesdiscovery 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.

I predict that snooker will get removed from TNT Sports just as the new season starts.
