How good is the live coverage of other sports? eg tennis, golf, rugby, US
sports, Olympics, etc?
How comprehensive is the local and internation soccer coverage?
I'm trying to compare the quality of sports offerings available. My Canadian
friend labours under appalling sports coverage.
How do the rest of us go?

Cricket coverage is usually good we are curently getting the VB series
but not all matches. The Zimbabwe England games were not shown I
believe Sony Asia TV got these and were available on Sky as an extra
sub.
Olympics is covered by the BBC or ITV terrestial channels Golf gets a
lot of air time NFL gets at least 1 live game a week along with
highlight of others NBA is covered but I don't know at what level as I
don't like Basketball. NHL gets some coverage MLB gets a little should
be more for my liking. Tennis I don't follow but it does seem to cover
some of the Grand Prix games..
Football is the raison de etre for Sky Sports in the UK. literally
every Premiership game is covered as is most of the Championship
(lower leagues) Lots of coverage of other Euro leagues inc Spain and
Germany also Champions League and EUFA cup.Some South American
football Euro cup, African Cup, World Cup the list goes on.
Coverage is as I say comprehensive as to the quality well variable is
the best word IMHO.

Then in the intervals there is chit chat between a studio guy (usually Ian
Ward or Charles Colvile) and one or two players or ex-players from the
countries involved.
It is quite watchable.
