Sports Tonight Live, branded simply as Sports Tonight, was a British television show and channel, owned by VISION247 based in Central London. It was launched online on 29 August 2011.[1]
On 15 October 2011, Sports Tonight Live began to broadcast on Freeview,[2] where it is listed as Sports.[3] The channel requires an internet connected Freeview HD set-top box or television, although the service may not be compatible with early Freeview HD equipment.[4] Sports Tonight Live was the first English language channel to use VisionIPTV's studio production and internet broadcast playout services.[5] It was also the first over-the-top delivered channel on the Freeview platform.[6]
Sports Tonight Live has also previously broadcast free-to-air on BEN Television and free-to-view on Primetime.[7][8]
Every show is broadcast live for four hours every week night and during the afternoon at the weekend.[4] At other times, the latest programme is shown on a loop and branded as Sports Tonight Replay. From 17 August 2012, Sports Tonight Live began to air live Polish football from the Ekstraklasa three times a week.[9]
In October 2014, Vision247 moved Sportstonightlive to FreeviewHD244 & currently broadcasts live five nights a week. BetRacingNation part of SportstonightLive also broadcasts live on SKY 212 every Saturday morning from 10am.
