Overview
- Swansea chief executive Tom Gorringe criticized Sky’s build-up and coverage of the March 13 match at Wrexham and says he will raise the issue with the EFL next week.
- Gorringe claimed the production was run by Wrexham’s owners’ company and that Swansea were treated as an afterthought, including in promotional materials.
- Sky disputes that, stating it produced the broadcast, describing the coverage as fair, and reporting that about 40% of in-home viewers chose the alternative feed.
- The alternative stream featured Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney with presenter David Prutton and aired alongside Sky’s standard commentary as a first-of-its-kind format.
- Sky cites balance through former Swansea captain Ashley Williams on punditry and interviews with both managers before and after the game; Wrexham won 2-0.
