BT Sport - Launch of BT Sport Ultimate

No, very unlikely as the host OB truck and crew (under normal circumstances) leave site at about 22:00hrs. By the time MOTD is on the OB vehicles and crew are on the road. Possibly a 4G connection from a phone etc, or at Radio Leicester’s studios ?

Whatever it was, it was exceptionally clear.

Betfred Cup coverage has just started with Darell Currie reading a statement from Glenn's family confirming that he suffered a heart attack, but is responding well to treatment in hospital.

[edit] here's the statement:

An update from Glenn Hoddle has come through from his family this morning:

"Glenn remains in a serious condition in hospital after suffering a heart-attack yesterday. He continues to respond well to treatment."

Everyone at BT Sport is right behind you with your recovery, Glenn. pic.twitter.com/igeFouCJ6t

This is a tweet from a sound engineer, one of the people in the studio who helped resuscitate him:

@PaulInce @markpougatch @julesbreach so pleased that Glenn is now getting the best care possible in hospital. Just did what was necessary to give him a fighting chance. Thoughts are with his family. It was my training as a Special Constable that paid off @SSGT9201

I'm not going to say any more about what happened on the studio floor (and I think others should respect Glenn's family's wishes to respect his privacy) but I am going to take the opportunity to say that if you don't know CPR, learn how to do CPR. Ask your employer to go on a First Aid course, and if you're in a big enough workplace, get them to buy a defibrillator.

Absolutely agree with your last comment.

There are moments in sport when what happens on the pitch pale into insignificance. When that happens its reassuring that the mood is one of sensitivity and respect. Both Glenn Hoddle's illness and the truly tragic events in Leicester have thankfully shown that football is capable of forgetting tribal behaviour and coming together. Get well soon Glenn and may those who have died in Leicester rest in eternal peace.

I drove by it earlier, it looked like there are still trucks in the car park. That said I wasn't able to slow down to look so don't quote me.

The Leicester Tigers rugby union ground is literally 100m up the road if that - games are planned to avoid Foxes and Tigers playing on the same day as the same car parks etc. are used for both sports. It's not impossible that their media centre was opened up, as Tigers were away yesterday.

Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha has been confirmed dead.

This is the obit slide used after repeats of the Leicester v West Ham match earlier in the week.

I do hope the stage direction was 'look serious', because I'm sure this lot are a lot less miserable most of the time:

On behalf of everyone at #SaturdaySav and BT Sport, we're thinking of you @GlennHoddle ❤️

Get well soon! pic.twitter.com/ytiP4SEjfr

Amidst their tribulations BT Sport are transmitting their first 4K Ligue 1 match tonight AS Monaco - Paris SG. Sadly the images aren't as clear as they could be.

It was the world feed straight to air. Assuming there were no major disasters with this evening's game, it should be accompanied with a bit of build-up and BT's own commentary next time.

It was nowhere as clear as BTS native 4K images.
