Yes. But it's a different program. Chess is kinda a sport as in Poker. I once saw Backgammon on Eurosport but never saw it again.Ian Thompson wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 3:49 pmTherein lies the challenge - persuading TV companies that chess programmes would be more attractive to viewers than Big Brother. Good luck with convincing them that viewers would like to see some guaranteed pawn instead of the possibility of some late night soft porn in the Big Brother bedroom.
They really should put chess on national tv (or the channels that are included in basic sky/virgin etc.) And if not on the basic channels then something like Eurosport.
I was looking at some of the rubbish that's on the TNT high number channels (like TNT-5) and it's really not that good. Viaplay (now back to Premier Sports) also had some rubbish on it.
