Every Tuesday and Sunday, there will be films dedicated to sports people and the stories behind sport.

The channel has also confirmed that former Liverpool and Leeds United midfielder, Gary McAllister is to join its commentary team.
BT Sport has also announced that it’s built a “first-of-its-kind” studio, which will convert into a rugby or football pitch, to enable pundits to demonstrate key plays and tactics.
“BT Sport is absolutely dedicated to giving fans a fresh, authoritative and innovative approach to the sports they love. Our exciting line-up of expert presenters and programmes from BT Sport’s state of the art studios will re-imagine the way fans watch, discuss, debate and absorb sport,” said Grant Best, BT Sport’s senior executive channel producer.
