TNT Sports – the new name for BT Sport – kicks off its inaugural season of Premier League coverage this Saturday (August 12th) when last season’s runners-up, Arsenal, host Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium.
Matchday coverage starts at 11am on TNT Sports 1, live from the ground, with a new Early Kick-Off show hosted by Jules Breach with Joe Cole and one of TNT Sports’ newest recruits, Ally McCoist.
Breach will hand over to Lynsey Hipgrave for the pre-game build-up where she will be joined by Rio Ferdinand and Joe Cole to preview the match.
The build-up will include a renewed focus on the latest news and fan views directly from the ground as part of a broader ambition to make the most of being live from the ground and close to the players, supporters and key storylines from in and around the match.
Live match coverage starts at 12:30pm, with the commentary team led by Darren Fletcher alongside Ally McCoist on co-comms and Jules Breachreporting from the sideline.
