Won’t forget that trip to the Champs-Elysées. Here are the final few kms from an incredible Tour de France finale. A few stories to tell from behind the scenes but I’ll leave that for a quieter time. Glasgow tomorrow for the Commonwealth Games!

Hugo Houle in Foix. Was met with some lovely words from a French colleague (who is a top broadcaster) about this clip as I came into the studio today. Will try to get something proper down about it and how broadcast tone changes, over on Substack soon.

See you on the 21st, set your alarm clocks ⏰😅 📸 circa 1996 or so, around the time of Sri Lanka winning the World Cup. AB with the throw down just out of shot 👌 Think it was the only time I ever hit one off’t square. Poor V500 didn’t get used properly. #genuinenumber11

Thanks to those who have made it possible. It’s been the worst year away from the mic, but I’ve already been away from home for a few weeks, working hard on prep and getting ready to try to do this justice for all of you fellow Cricket obsessives. It’s going to be a special series! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇦🇺

Growing up surrounded by the game & being obsessed with it, playing in the Lancs League, watching/listening to my commentary heroes, before following another - the brilliant Nasser Hussain - as Broadcast Sport Commentator of the Year…this is an opportunity that I didn’t expect, but am grateful for

Ever been watching the Cycling and thought you heard a bit too (or tchoo) much emphasis around 22km to go?! That’s the Cricket. 🏏 Two weeks today, and realising that it is with immense privilege, I’ll get to do it for real. The Ashes on TNT Sports. 🤩

Not sure, tbh. I'm just passing on the broadcast details & obviously don't decide about the business things, neither does the production team. I just know that industry-wide, there's now ads on most streaming services. Sorry I can't help anymore.

Rob Hatch @robhatch.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

Not sure, tbh. Not my remit to deal with the business side, just passing on the message. I'd guess not, as that's the industry direction of travel at the moment. Ads on most streaming services now.

Rob Hatch @robhatch.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

A quick reminder that unlike Giro & TdF, not every stage is produced from start to finish by host broadcasters, but we will be on-air with Orla in the studio, then join live action as soon as we get it. From memory, around 10 of the stages are live from km0 this year, including the opener tomorrow.

Vuelta tomorrow & just to let you know, our TNT Sports / Discovery+ coverage kicks off from 12 midday in UK & Ireland. Really look forward to having your company for the next 3 weeks, with live coverage on the channel & streaming, daily highlights there & free-to-air on Quest, plus YT short hlts too

Think we mentioned the account once in jest, but never taking the info seriously. I’m not on much social aside from instagram so hadn’t seen this, but thanks for making me aware - views like that certainly won’t get any airtime from me. The world is a worrying place atm 😔
