BT Sport fudge up the editing for their live Champions League broadcast (Video)

JOE

BT Sport accidentally broadcast the wrong edit for their coverage of Barcelona versus AS Roma on Tuesday night – including a practice take.

Reshmin Chowdhury had just pre-recorded a VT from the Nou Camp touchline, which was due to be used as and when the studio were ready for it.

The recording included a first take that Chowdhury wasn’t happy with, and so she went again and nailed it. Unfortunately this wasn’t edited down, and the recording went out live on air with both efforts.

It did a blameless Chowdhury no favours at all, as many believed the broadcast to be live…

Back in the studio, Gary Lineker saw the funny side of the incident.

“Thanks Reshmin – you even got to see the rehearsal. Live TV – things happen,” he remarked.
