BT Sport rebrand launches today,
Rugby pundit lineup:

Orla Chennaoui will join TNT Sports' rugby coverage and present a selection of live Gallagher Premiership matches in addition to her role as Eurosport's lead cycling presenter. Craig Doyle will continue to host live match coverage and Ugo Monye will take on an extended role that will see him add presenting roles alongside punditry. The voices of rugby on TNT Sports will include commentators Alastair Eykyn and Nick Mullins.
New rugby pundits include Stuart Hogg, who has recently retired after a stellar career that included 100 international caps and a domestic and European double with the Exeter Chiefs in 2020, and Emily Scarratt, Women's Rugby World Cup 2014 winner and top point-scorer and Team GB captain at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. They will join a host of familiar names including Martin Bayfield, Lawrence Dallaglio, Brian O'Driscoll, Sarra Elgan, Austin Healey, Ben Kay and Sam Warburton.

 
I have been on social media since the announcement was made on the fixtures, complaining about the allocation of tv appearances in the first 11 rounds.
Bath5
Bristol6
Exeter7
Gloucester 6
Harlequins 6
Leicester 10
Newcastle 3
Northampton 7
Sale7
Saracens5

The URC & TOP14 have set a precedent by giving equal televised games to all clubs in their relevant leagues. Two leagues which are going from strength to strength. Premiership rugby & TNT on the other hand have been shown up for their midlands bias and remain silent.
There are only 10 teams in this league and TNT have 4 channels available plus two box office channels. It will become absolutely boring watching the same team each weekend, for me they could have televised all games on a weekend, one on a Friday , two on a Saturday & Sunday, that way keeping all clubs happy with a equal share of tv coverage.
This current coverage must also have a massive impact on the falcons when they are trying to negotiate sponsorship deals. Which company's are going to jump on board with the limited coverage they will receive.

Getting 5 rather than 3 would cost them alot more, and im guessing there is still PRTV as am option? Meaning they will want some games. Does that mean PRTV only get 2 per weekend?
