Swansea to Take Wrexham TV Watchalong to EFL as Sky Defends Impartiality

The club argues the co-owners' companion broadcast skewed build-up and presentation toward Wrexham.

Overview

  • Chief executive Tom Gorringe criticized Sky Sports' coverage of the March 13 WrexhamSwansea match in programme notes, calling it unbalanced.
  • Gorringe said the production was handled by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s company and claimed Swansea were treated as an afterthought.
  • Sky Sports countered that it produced the coverage itself and described its presentation as fair and balanced.
  • The broadcaster cited former Swansea captain Ashley Williams’ role as a pundit and interviews with both managers to rebut bias claims.
  • Sky reported that about 40% of in-home viewers chose the alternative stream featuring the Wrexham co-owners during Wrexham’s 2-0 win.
