and live on Freeview channel 276
TNT Sports - formerly BT Sport - has launched with a brand new presenter line-up including ex-TalkSPORT host Laura Woods. The rebranding is the result of a joint venture formed by BT Sport and Warner Bros. Discovery.
BT Sport, Sky and Virgin Media customers are set to see some major changes to their favourite sport channel. The presentation team has seen the biggest shake-up with the departure of Jake Humphrey, who left BT Sport toward the end of last football season.

What TNT Sports means for BT Sport customers?
Fortunately, BT TV, Sky, and Virgin Media customers won’t have to move a finger to get TNT Sports. The channel will replace BT Sports immediately.
Those who currently have the BT Sports App can use it for the time being but the app is set to close down later this year. It will be replaced by the discovery+ app and customers switching from the old application can expect to encounter a brief authentication process.
