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.
