WSL gets TV audience boost with Sky Sports football director revealing higher than anticipated viewing figures
by Philippa Kaur 26 April 2022, 16:47

Manchester City’s WSL duel with Tottenham is thought to have attracted more than half a million viewers on Sky SportsCredit: Getty
Last June, the channel committed to exclusively air at least 35 games live as part of a landmark broadcast deal which commenced at the start of this season.
Sky Sports’ director of football Gary Hughes revealed viewing figures for coverage of top tier clashes had been “dramatically up” on what was expected in its first term as a WSL broadcast partner.
Speaking at this year’s Sports Pro Live event, Hughes said: “Our audience is up dramatically from what we anticipated and what it was on pay TV last year.
“I think our average is around 125,000 a game — I think that’s up around 175% per cent.
“I believe our reach is around six million which I think is around a 200% increase.

“Our peak audience was for Manchester City vs Tottenham back in September where we got around 550,000 people watching.
“Audience figures have been really good, but our intention is to grow the game.

“We’d like to think that we’ve got the best pundits talking about the game.
“We’ve got huge reach across our digital platforms; we’ve got Sky Sports News which is 24/7. So (we’re) really focussed on the power of promoting the game.”
Kick-off times have occasionally been a bugbear for some WSL match-going fans.
This term a few have taking to social media to comment on clashes between games involving top tier men’s and women’s sides.
On kick-off times and TV coverage, Hughes said: “(In terms of) kick-off slots, that is something we will continue to talk about.

“It was about finding the right time for the matches, and we’ve not stumbled but we’ve come across an evening kick-off time (on a Sunday evening) that inherits the audience of Super Sunday which is huge.
“You’re taking a big Sky Sports football audience into the women’s game.”
Sky’s and BBC Sport’s broadcast coverage of WSL matches are a part of a three-year TV deal worth £24million.
It is thought to be the biggest commercial agreement in women’s football history.

Roy Keane ready to LEAVE Sky Sports and take Hibs job as representatives make contact with Scottish Premiership club
by Philippa Kaur 25 April 2022, 23:20

The former United skipper hasn’t worked in top-level management in more than a decade – when he was sacked as Ipswich Town boss in January 2011.
But he is ready to leave his TV duties behind to replace ex-Celtic team-mate Shaun Maloney.
Hibs owner Ron Gordon has said he’s likely to go with a more experienced gaffer after rookie Maloney lasted only 120 days.
Keane, who bossed Sunderland to the Premiership in 2007, has been assistant to Martin O’Neill with the Republic of Ireland and Nottingham Forest, and was Paul Lambert’s No2 at Aston Villa.

He was also interviewed for the vacant Sunderland job this year before talks broke down and Alex Neil was given the gig.

Gordon admitted in the wake of Maloney’s sacking that he knew appointing the former Belgium no2 would be a risk.
He now says he will avoid making a similar mistake when selecting the next man to fill the hot seat at Easter Road.
US-based Gordon says he takes his share of the blame for the mess, having also axed Jack Ross in December, as he detailed the direction of the club’s search for a new boss.
He said: “I don’t know if we can take that risk again (of appointing an inexperienced manager).

Neville, 47, couldn’t resist taking a playful dig at usual sparring partner Carragher.
This week, he targeted the former Liverpool defender’s hair colour.

He then likened Carragher’s do to that off the late former Bullseye presenter Jim Bowen – posting pictures of them side by side.

The 44-year-old was also roundly mocked for his trousers – and how short they were.
Sky Sports Premier League’s Twitter account posted an image of him, writing: “Have your trousers shrunk or have you grown? @Carra23 🤣👖”
And plenty of fans also noticed, pointing them out to Neville.
One wrote: “Talk about those trousers too … they had an argument with his shoes?”

Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk 2: New date, UK start time, TV channel, live stream for massive heavyweight rematch
by Aurelia Butler 23 April 2022, 22:03
ANTHONY JOSHUA and Oleksandar Usyk’s on-off re-match has been put back again – but promoters are honing in on a confirmed date.Usyk has been given the green light from Ukraine’s sports minister to have his second fight against AJ, following Russia’s disgraceful invasion of his home country.

The fight had been plunged into doubt with Usyk joining the military in the defence of his home country.
All parties understood the situation – there are, after all, bigger things in the world than boxing.
Just like the Olympic gold medallist did after his loss to Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019, Joshua wants to right his wrong by facing the Ukrainian in a rematch.
Usyk outpointed and largely outclassed a game Joshua in front of 70,000 fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last year to win the WBA, WBO, IBF & IBO world titles.
Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn admitted after that his client boxed nowhere near to the ability he would do in a potential rematch.
AJ, meanwhile, said the fight was a learning experience in the post-fight news conference, vowing to gain his vengeance on Usyk.
Since then, the two sides have been negotiating toward a huge money-spinning sequel, but offers for Joshua to step aside to allow an undisputed clash with Tyson Fury has delayed the process.
Fury, however, will fight mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte next, leaving Usyk and Joshua to fight once again.
Joshua is also on the search for a new trainer, having trialled American coaches Robert Garcia, Virgil Hunter, Ronnie Shields and Canelo Alvarez’s trainer Eddy Reynoso.
When is Joshua vs Usyk 2?
Joshua vs Usyk 2 has yet to be confirmed with a concrete date – although it is understood to be in July.
According to reports, the new date is set to be July 23 – but this is unconfirmed.
But Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine had thrown the entire bout into doubt with Usyk involved in the war effort, but he has told ministers he wants to get into a training camp for the bout.
That would also open up the opportunity for Joshua vs Usyk 2 to take place in an outdoor stadium in the UK.
Eddie Hearn confirmed there will be a rematch between Joshua and Usyk
What channel is it and can it be live streamed?
Joshua’s last fight with Usyk with shown live on Sky Sports Box Office for a price of £24.95.
It’s unclear which channel the rematch will take place on, but expect Matchroom’s broadcast partners DAZN to bid aggressively for the rights to the fight in the UK.
DAZN costs £7.99 to subscribe to in the UK, but the streaming service are likely to add a pay-per-view arm to their model this year.

Where will Joshua vs Usyk 2 take place?
Hearn has previously claimed the fight will be held in another open-air UK stadium.
He said after the fight: “It’s very likely to happen in the UK, but we’ll sit down and look at the options.
“There will be approaches to do it elsewhere. (But) after Saturday, the pluses and minuses of Saturday, I mean, have you ever seen anything like that? How good was it? Have you ever seen anything like that?
“So I’d like to do it in England again. Maybe at Spurs, maybe at Wembley, maybe at the Emirates. They’ll be approaches to do it elsewhere but I don’t see any reason to take it outside of England.”
There are also likely to be approached from the Middle East for the fight, with Saudi Arabia having held Joshua’s clash against Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019.
Usyk said in the post-fight news conference he was eager for the second fight to be held in the Olympic Stadium in Kiev, Ukraine.
Usyk said: “I would love to have the rematch at Olympiyskiy Stadium in Kiev.” More

An estimated total of 420,000 fans walked through the gates of Melbourne Park between Thursday and Sunday to watch the Australian Grand Prix – making it the biggest sporting event ever staged in Melbourne.
Most of those fans were there in support of Daniel Ricciardo, who finished sixth in the race behind McLaren teammate Lando Norris.
And to honour the 32-year-old’s return to Oz, a group were filmed doing his signature celebration – the ‘shoey’.
Sky Sports F1 pundit Kravitz got involved in the festivities, and was happy to take a sip from one enthusiastic fan’s shoe.

Sergio Perez was the only Red Bull driver to make it to the chequered flag after his teammate Max Verstappen failed to finish for the second time in three races.
The current World Champion was forced to retire on the 39th lap due to a fuel issue which caused the back of his car to set on fire.

‘I’m not a nutter’ – Matt Le Tissier says he was sacked by Sky Sports because of his conspiracy theories on coronavirus
by Philippa Kaur 7 April 2022, 14:29
MATT LE TISSIER has revealed he believes he was sacked by Sky Sports due to his views on coronavirus before insisting: “I’m not a nutter!”The former Premier League star, 53, was axed by the broadcasters in August 2020 along with Phil Thompson and Charlie Nicholas – just five months into the global pandemic.
Matt Le Tissier has claimed he is ‘not a nutter’ and believes he was sacked by Sky Sports due to his views on Covid
Le Tissier claims he got into researching Covid-19 conspiracy theories due to boredom during the first lockdown.
The ex-Soccer Saturday pundit was outspoken in his views, even suggesting images of those infected in China looked “completely inauthentic”.
Le Tissier hit the headlines earlier this week after controversially tweeting a suggestion that the media have “lied” about Russian war crimes Bucha, Ukraine – leading to him quitting his role as Southampton FC ambassador.
And just last month, the former footballer, speaking on The AJ Roberts Show, spoke about “joining the dots” on Covid, his Sky Sports sacking and more – before insisting: “I’m not a nutter.”

hits out at ‘jealous’ Rooney after he tells Man Utd to AXE old team-mate
Le Tissier said: “I went into working in the media from 2002 onwards until late August 2020, which was an interesting scenario where I lost my job.
“Obviously the pandemic started in 2020 in March – and very early on in that I had my doubts as to what was really going on.

LE TISSIER’S CONTROVERSIES
In 2020, Le Tissier sparked a storm after infamously comparing a row on a train over a face covering to Holocaust survivor Anne Frank.
And the controversial views kept coming, even suggesting “crisis actors” were being used in Ukraine amid the Russian invasion.
Le Tissier went on to claim Premier League footballers were being urged to stay silent about the war in Ukraine.
He also called football chiefs “deluded” for not questioning the seemingly high numbers of cardiac arrests in football seen in recent months – including Christian Eriksen at last summer’s Euros.

Le Tissier said: “I ain’t a stupid human being, I know this is not the same as what has gone on before. I’ve not seen this volume of incidents on football pitches.
“Sorry mate, you’re deluding yourself if you think that this is the same as whatever happened in the 17 years I was a professional footballer. Shocking.” More
