Premier Sports

[Superheavy]

Does anyone subscribe to Premier Sports? It's showing Spencer Fearon's show from the York Hall tomorrow night and I 'm considering a subscription. Interested to hear what the coverage is like - who does the studio / commentary work, etc.

I had a look on their website yesterday and noticed that they were showing Swedish Speedway. It's about time a British broadcaster started showing Swedish Speedway.

Premier Sports were doing a stirling job with the boxing, but it has appeared to fallen back somewhat recently.

This is be only the 2nd "home" promotion for Premiersports - which was a Hennessy bill (Daws vs Theophane) - so it hard to judge what it will be like now. Last time I was impressed with the miminal amount of ad breaks.

Premier also occasionnaly (it used to be more frequently) showcase US shows from HBO - these were typically the international feed uncut and with no adbreaks. They still show Shobox events that are promoted by Gary Shaw - but thats about it now.

Thanks Stu, I'm going to give it a go

They are showing shobox live in the early hours tonight also.

Cracking atmosphere for the this is hard knocks..... I guess Spencer Fearon can be a bit marmite, but he clearly is doing some good things. Not sure what is the deal with Gary Logan - I thought he was going to be doing the MCing - but it is Andy Kerr....

I've just cancelled my subscription this week. After 10 months I've only seen a couple of decent bills. swedish speedway or stoke v Sheffield student rugby league don't do it for me!!
Not worth the money if you ask me.
I will be subscribing to allegedly mind.

I remember when this channel first launched, looked so promising in terms of their boxing coverage but their interest died off fairly quickly.

Anyway I noticed they have the rights for the 2015 Copa America which starts this Friday and will be showing all 26 games live and exclusive. *Heard there is good news for Virgin Media customers. From tomorrow Premier Sports is being added to the Big Kahuna and Big Daddy bundles, formerly known as XL and VIP, for the next 2 months at no additional cost.

SKY customers can get the channel for 2 months, and see all the action from the Copa America, for a one off payment of £9.99 by using promo code: COPAPREMIER11 No registration or sign up fee.
