SkyFree’s Freeivew LCN swap has happened today (as previously scheduled).
Eden+1 is currently still broadcasting, but hasn’t a LCN assigned. I guess they’ll quietly shut it off later on today?

Well this announcement is a bit of a surprise. I was expecting Sky to take Nascar season 2026 back onto the Sky Sport platforms.

No word on MotoGP that I can find as yet.

Thanks for clarifying my post @TV4 . As someone who only ever watches streaming TV I forget I am not the norm for most viewers / viewing.

No worries. I’m increasing going streaming-first too.
Not sure if/when the races will be broadcast on TV3. Depends if a certain Motorsport Programme is coming back or not, I guess. No one’s officialy said, have they?

Not sure if this has been covered but free-to-air coverage of the 2026 Commonwealth Games will be on Three.

That’s a really fantastic amount of coverage for free-to-ajr in 2026, also nice to see Crowd Goes Wild get some love too. Not to mention the opportunity for Three to rejig their schedule a bit following it, maybe after is when they can launch Ryan Bridge with a bang.

The stream for eden+1 is surprisingly still running. I guess someone forgot to pull the plug

Sky Olympics coverage arrangement.
With the Gold Channel in action - presumably this is the feed Stan will show to Aussies - and coverage of separate events on other channels, at midnight NZ time on Sunday morning, for two hours or so, all 10 Sky Sport channels will be simultaneously live.
We’ll see whether this is true.

Looks like a makeover may be on the way for eden (or possibly all Three’s channels).
Saw this image on ThreeNow.
For context, the image looked similar to this just a couple days ago.
