Hey Bobby
It’s normally at about this point that the Daily Mail would write an article about the BBC ‘wasting’ money sending staff to cover a World Cup. Hard for them to win isn’t it?

And a little @BBCSport broadcasting footnote - Ed Leigh becomes the 6th commentator to call a Summer & Winter GB Gold (Charlotte Worthington & Beth Shriever 2020, Toby Roberts 2024), joining David Coleman, Alan Weeks, Paul Dickenson, Dougie Donnelly & Steve Cram. @snowedleigh 👏
SCENES in the commentary box 🤩
Tim Warwood and Ed Leigh were living every second of Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale's golden moment! 🥇

One of the greats. A steadying voice for the big event. Calmness on a Saturday afternoon. And that late UK night when he led coverage of that other Steve getting his fifth gold...
Go well, Steve Rider.
Rider Retires!
This Sunday, the legendary Steve Rider will present his final show before he retires following a stellar 45 years working for ITV and BBC.
Steve began his career as a reporter at LBC before moving to Anglia Television. As he progressed through the ranks he went on to work on the Olympic Games, World Of Sport and BBC's Grandstand to name a few. He returned to ITV in 2005 and presented our Formula One coverage, the 2006 Football World Cup, the Champions League and the Rugby World Cup in 2011.
More recently, the 75-year-old has been anchoring the British Touring Car Championship on ITV4. We wish Steve all the best in the future and thank him for all his dedication and hard work in a TV career spanning over 50 years on screen.

The Traitors a good example of how despite the many strengths of Netflix and co they can’t come close to creating the national discourse moments, the WhatsApp group chats, next day in the office discussions that live TV, and in particular the BBC, do so well.

Loved this day. The only person amazed by the reception Graham got from the Watford fans was Graham!
Humility in the extreme ❤️

An unfortunate update to this story: The office of the prosecutor-general of Ukraine said on Sunday evening that the body of a UK citizen had been recovered from the debris of the hotel. I understand this person was a Reuters security advisor. Awful news. Thoughts with his family and colleagues. on.ft.com/4czIKKg
Thoughts and solidarity with our @Reuters colleagues today.
A member of a Reuters news team was missing and two others were injured and hospitalized after a Russian missile attack on their hotel in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk.

John Hunt, racing and Olympic commentator, you couldn't be at Ascot or in Paris, but everyone is with you.
@_PaulHayward conveys how racing has rallied behind @HuntyCaller. thoroughbreddailynews.com/mi…

CrowdStrike effectively bricked windows, Mac and Linux today.
Windows machines won’t boot, and Mac and Linux work is abandoned because all their users are on twitter making memes.
Incredible work.

This is a special day for the @5liveSport football team. However, our friend and colleague @HuntyCaller and his daughter Amy remain in our thoughts and in our hearts. John is a massive football fan and should have enjoyed this day. Sending our love to both him and Amy. ❤️

There is football tonight but much more importantly there is @HuntyCaller and family to keep in your thoughts and hearts and prayers.
