Who sponsors NFL Access on Monday & Friday now (I think we get the shows the day after)?
Sky have just said due to sponsors contravening UK advertising laws, we won't get our usual Tuesday & Saturday episodes any longer :confused:

Never mind - from another forum:
We have a couple of problems with Total Access at the moment which we are
working hard to resolve.
Over the past couple of weeks that has been an increase in the number of
'sponsored segments' within the Total Access show. (e.g. the GMC Player of the
Week etc). Although these are ok on U.S. TV, some of the things included within
these sponsored segments are not allowed by Ofcom advertising laws in the UK -
two examples being the placement of logos on the monitors within the studio and
the product placement in the studio itself.
This means that Tuesday's Total Access has been pulled, as it involves very
heavy sponsorship from GMC. As every Tuesday's show involves this it may be
that they are pulled for the forseeable future. The show has also been pulled a
couple of other times recently - last Saturday for example - for the same reason
We are working with Sky to see what we can do about this, but ultimately with a
250,000 fine if rules are breached, Sky will want to ensure that the shows are
clean.
