Great to see a Hibee in Gordon Smart present the show, I’ve always thought he would be a good shout since Tanner was doing the shows last season, enjoyed the Scotland shows he did on YouTube at the euros.

I wonder who is going to be doing it moving forward, I know Tanner has been in Japan for the olympics however not sure if he is contracted to Hibs, hopefully not and Gordon keeps the gig if not then Dougie Donnelley

Is he the same guy who edited The **** newspaper or is that a different guy?

Gordon should get the gig, he is the best presenter so far.

Yeah, said the same on the match thread.

I wonder though, when we are allowed full capacity, will we still need a host and guests on Hibs TV or will it revert back to just the commentary guys as it was pre-covid?

I had said at the end of last season that wouldn't any club want to continue using PPV as a revenue stream. But it was pointed out to me that the only reason why we and others could do it was because the TV companies complied with the rather unique situation. I would love it to happen but I don't think Sky/BT will let it happen

I think it’s been agreed for the whole season, not sure how much the PPV numbers would be like when you have a full attendance but they may keep with it for a few months while there is some uncertainty over the winter with potential spikes in cases etc

Same guy but that was back in 2016 don’t think it should be held against him if he is the best man for the job

Why get rid? It's making the product better/more sellable. Plenty of o/s hibs fans to watch it.

Ps Glad to hear Cliff drop his 'its one of those ones' catch phrase again!

Can't o/s fans watch it now - it was only available to us in the UK because the TV companies agreed to it

I hope they don’t get rid of it. I'll be watching the replays on Hibs TV for the pre and post-match chat for the matches I've been at. Should be able to get the post match chat live on Hibs TV audio version, will be better than listening to Sportsound on the way home.

Dougie Donnelly with all his experience looked a hard act to follow

A total professional, unflappable and barely put a foot wrong and was even praising our play on social media

Welcome back anytime

Its always been available to overseas fans via Hibs TV and will continue to be - regardless of what happens with rules for UK based viewers.
