Sky Sports cut live TV broadcast and order presenters to evacuate studio during coverage of famous event
SKY SPORTS was forced to cut a live TV broadcast before ordering presenters to evacuate during studio coverage of the Indy 500. The dramatic moment occurred on Sunday as pundits discussed the latest edition of the famous US race. 2 2 Spain's Alex Palou extended his lead at the top of the leaderboard as he held on for victory against Sweden's Marcus Ericsson. There was also a terrifying crash as rookie Robert Shwartzman ploughed into his own team 'like a bowling ball' in the pit lane. But back at Sky Sports, where chiefs have just axed The Football Show, there was an equally tense moment in the studio. Presenter Tom Gaymor was among those affected when a fire alarm sounded. It forced him and guests to evacuate the studio during their live broadcast. And Sky Sports was forced to cut the coverage early as a result. But Gaymor assued fans that all was OK on social media. He declared: 'I hope you all enjoyed that as much as we did. 'Thank you for all your kind messages and for tuning in. Had to come off air slightly early as we were being evacuated due to a fire alarm.' Fans reacted online, with one saying: 'Great broadcast, even if it finished a bit abruptly.' Another joked: 'Was it for Rossi?' The incident came several months after Sky Sports' NFL studio was forced to evacuate due to a fire alarm in the middle of a playoff game. The moment occurred in the clash between the Buffalo Bills and the Baltimore Ravens. Stadium clips had to be played as the studio went unmanned, with host Neil Reynolds revealing: 'Fire alarm. Had to leave building for now. 'Hope to be back with you soon. Never a dull moment in the playoffs.' After returning to the screen, Reynolds later joked: 'We're not letting no fire alarm beat us.'

Disney+ to enter women's football market with Champions League rights
The streaming platform Disney+ is set to show live Women's Champions League matches from next season across multiple European broadcast territories, including the United Kingdom. It is understood Disney+ has agreed a five-year deal which will mean that it broadcasts every single match in the competition live, which is being perceived as a major step forward for coverage of the European women's game's top club competition. The streaming platform's move to enter the women's football market follows the news announced in December that Netflix secured the United States broadcast rights for live coverage of the 2027 and 2031 Women's World Cups. In terms of the UK broadcast market, Disney's arrival means that women's football now has a sixth different major broadcaster covering the sport from next season. The BBC and Sky share the rights to show the Women's Super League, while TNT Sports and Channel 4 have secured a new deal to broadcast the Women's FA Cup, while ITV also cover the England women's team's matches – joined by the BBC for major tournaments. Additionally, every WSL 2 match is available live on YouTube next term. Such a wide range of different subscriptions being required by supporters wanting to watch every match live may be a concern for some fans in terms of the cost, although it is also understood there will be some free-to-air coverage of the Women's Champions League in the UK too. For the past four seasons, DAZN has shown the Women's Champions League live across Europe and some matches in the UK have additionally been picked up by TNT Sports. Disney+ is understood to have made a hugely competitive offer, not only financially but in terms of the quality of their production, in their extensive plans for their coverage. The organisation reportedly has around 125 million subscribers globally. The deal was agreed by UC3, a new joint venture organised between Uefa and the European Club Association, meaning that club representatives have been involved in the discussions around the broadcast rights deal. The agency Two Circles were commissioned to work on the deal. The news comes ahead of this year's final, between Arsenal and Barcelona, which is taking place in Lisbon on Saturday. Barcelona are bidding to win the European title for the third consecutive year after eliminating Chelsea in the semi-finals. Arsenal are in their first final since lifting the trophy in 2007. Sign up to Moving the Goalposts No topic is too small or too big for us to cover as we deliver a twice-weekly roundup of the wonderful world of women's football after newsletter promotion The Women's Champions League has a new format from next season. It is relatively similar to to the recently-revamped men's Champions League format, albeit smaller in terms of the number of teams. The women's event will switch from a 16-team group stage to now having a league phase, expanded to include 18 teams, where teams will be ranked in one league table, before a playoff round and then the more traditional knockout phase. Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United have earned the European spots for next term from the WSL as the top three with the latter starting their qualifying campaign in August. Arsenal's 2007 triumph is the only time a British women's club has ever won the European title.

Olivia Jaquith, an anchor with CBS affiliate WRGB near Albany, N.Y., experienced her water break live on air and she anchored the three-hour broadcast before going into labor Her co-anchor Julia Dunn is also pregnant The broadcast contained several easter eggs in reference to Jaquith's pregnancyA news anchor's water broke while she was live on air – and she still persevered through the three-hour broadcast. On Wednesday, May 21, Olivia Jaquith, an anchor with WRGB, a CBS affiliate in Schenectady, N.Y., announced with her co-anchor Julia Dunn that her water had broken minutes before the news cast began, NBC News reports. Instead of rushing to the hospital, Jacquith decided to remain behind the news desk, through contractions and all. Jacquith is expecting her first child, a son, WRGB reports. Dunn is also currently pregnant, and announced her pregnancy in March via Instagram. 'We do have some breaking news this morning. Literally, Olivia's water has broke, and she is anchoring the news now in active labor,' Dunn said at the top of the show. 'Early labor. Early labor,' Jaquith added. 'Let's not get carried away.' Dunn then jumped in to assist her co-anchor in timing her contractions. 'No, well, there was one, but it's been a few minutes since then, so we're still in good shape,' Jaquith said. 'I'm happy to be here, and I'll stay on the desk for as long as I possibly can,' Jaquith added. 'But if I disappear, that's what's going on.' Dunn went live on Facebook amid the news, where Jaquith shared that her water broke while she was walking to the bathroom of the station. When Dunn checked in with her co-anchor about whether she needed to leave to go into labor, Jaquith said, 'I think I can get through a three-hour show.' On the broadcast, her co-workers celebrated Jaquith with sweet easter eggs in reference to her baby update, such as a chyron at the top of the screen that read, 'Days Past Due Date: 2.' Later, a headline at the bottom of the broadcast read, 'Baby Watch' and 'Here Comes Baby P, Good Luck Olivia.' Jaquith tied in references to her baby throughout the newscast. At one point, she said when tagging out to the program's meteorologist, 'If my baby does come today, Craig, how's the weather?' When the show suggested a coffee break, Jaquith suggested instead that viewers take a 'water break.'

Jaquith was still behind the anchor desk at 7:56 a.m., according to footage from WRGB. 'Whole show,' Dunn commented while giving her co-anchor a high-five. 'Look at that. Three hours of news, in contractions. I think that's a first for CBS6.' WRGB has not yet provided an update regarding Jaquith's baby boy. Read the original article on People
