Surprised they have chosen to simulcast that match and not simulcast Soccer Special on Sky Sports News (assuming they can't broadcast anything from Old Trafford right now)

The match has been abandoned but Sky Sports 1 have stopped simulcasting and gone back to their own presentation/commentary. They're showing a split screen with the Swansea v Man City match.

SS1 have gone back to Old Trafford where the match is abandonned. They are split screen with the City match.

Looks like they're just going to simulcast Sky Sports 2, with updates every so often at Old Trafford and a "Man Utd v Bournemouth match abandoned" graphic in the corner.

I guess they can't take a world feed of another game instead then?

If they did that they'd have used up their live quota, meaning that should Swansea come from behind vs Man City, making the Man Utd match when replayed critical in the race for fourth, they'd not be able to show it.

Meanwhile on SSF1 they are due to come off air at 16:15 but are expected to stay on air to see the result of the stewards inquiry and hopefully interview the drivers involved.

Same with NBCSN - they're simulcasting the Swansea City v Manchester City that's on NBC.

Interestingly, the SS1 feed is about 2 seconds ahead of the SS2 feed on VM.

Are NBC showing all the games live again today? (Or at least, were they until the United game was abandoned)

Yep, across all their networks, including MSNBC.
