Why did BT Sport change its name to TNT Sports?

BT Sport has changed its name because the brand has been bought and taken over by Warner Bros Discovery.

The merger between Warner Bros Discovery and BT Group was completed in a deal worth up to £650m, and has seen TNT Sports take over all of BT Sport’s current channels, including Premier League football and Premiership rugby.

The change has been designed to streamline UK and European sport into one brand, putting everything from football to UFC under one roof, and improving on what BT Sport can offer its customers.
