Sky Sports launch groundbreaking ‘multiview' channel where you can watch FOUR games at once
SKY SPORTS have launched a new "multiview" programme that will enable viewers to watch up to four games at once.
The broadcaster is set for its biggest season of Prem coverage ever, with a minimum of 215 live games to be shown on their channels.

The new Prem season begins this Friday, with champions Liverpool hosting Bournemouth live on Sky Sports Main Event.
Ahead of the big kick-off, Sky have announced several new features for their coverage this term.
One of these will be the ability to watch games that happen to be taking place at the same time.
For the first time this season, Sky Sports will be able to show all matches that kick off on Sunday at 2pm, a slot often occupied by several games due to teams that participated in Europe on the Thursday night having their weekend game rescheduled.
In previous seasons, other than Sky Sports' feature games, Sunday 2pm kick-offs were not shown live in the UK.
Fans will now be able to tune in to Sky Sports' new multiview programme, which will show all games concurrently.
In addition to Sundays, this feature will also come into effect when Sky Sports shows clashing mid-week fixtures.
Multiview will be available on Sky TV, Now TV and the Sky Sports App.

Other changes include Mark Chapman joining Sky's roster of Premier League presenters, which also includes Kelly Cates and David Jones.
Chapman, 51, has already worked for the broadcaster in recent years, fronting their Carabao Cup coverage.
While he will also host the first Match of the Day of the post-Gary Lineker era this Saturday.
Sky Sports are also launching a new Sunday evening analysis show.
"Extra Time" will air at 7:30pm on Sundays, following the conclusion of Sky's Super Sunday coverage.
Jamie Carragher will present the show, which will go into the talking points of the weekend.
Sky's chief sports officer Jonathan Licht said of the changes: "This is a landmark season for Sky Sports and the Premier League.
"For the first time, we'll bring fans over 215 live matches, including every 2pm kick-off on Super Sunday.
"We're introducing new innovations like Multiview, new programmes like Super Sunday: Extra Time, and a new look schedule for Sky Sports News.
"From the moment the season kicks off, we'll be helping fans stay across all the biggest stories and making sure they never miss a moment of the action."
