BT Sport has now become TNT Sports after the broadcaster agreed a deal with Warner Bros Discovery to merge the Eurosport and BT Sport channels together.

The broadcaster still holds exclusive rights to Champions League football in the United Kingdom, while it will continue to air a host of Premier League games in the new season.

However, the logo and the name aren’t the only changes, with multiple alterations made to the presenter, commentator and punditry teams.

Jake Humphreys, who previously held the title of lead presenter on BT Sport’s football coverage, has left the company and has been replaced by Laura Woods.

The award-presenter has left her role with TalkSPORT to become TNT Sports’ main presenter. She will host TNT Sports’ 2023-24 Champions League coverage.

In addition, Lynsey Hipgrave will continue her role as a Premier League presenter.

TNT Sports’ commentary team includes Darren Fletcher, Adam Summerton, Lucy Ward and Ally McCoist.

Rio Ferdinand, Peter Crouch, Joe Cole, Rachel Brown-Finnis, Owen Hargreaves, Steve McManaman, Joleon Lescott, Michael Owen, Paul Scholes and Robbie Savage make up TNT Sports’ punditry team.

Fans delighted with Ally McCoist addition

TNT Sports posted a picture of their new presenter, commentary and punditry team on Facebook on 2 August with the caption ‘SQUAD’, and Ally McCoist was showered with praise by fans.

The Rangers legend has become a fan-favourite pundit on TalkSPORT, and he has signed up for commentary and punditry on TNT Sports’ Premier League and Champions League coverage.

His partnership with Woods on TalkSPORT was much heralded, and his switch to TNT Sports has been greeted with much applause.

One fan wrote on Facebook: “Ally McCoist should be on EVERY live game as he’s the best pundit around.”

Another said: “Super Ally McCoist! What an addition!” And a third added: “I went on the comments to give Ally some love but looking at them he already has it. Could listen to him all day.”
