Thanks Kevin, That was quite interesting.
Euronews is a "multilingual" channel that comes out of France. The version I get in the UK has an English language voiceover, but other voiceovers are available in different European countries. You never see any on-screen presenters, so it's a relatively cheap operation, relying, I imagine, on agency feeds. The No Comment segment you were watching doesn't come with a voiceover anywhere though! The other thing to mention is that channels like National Geographic and the various flavours of Discovery, design many of their programmes to be revoiced locally. Discovery even re-voices programmes like Mythbusters. So we get a Brit doing all the linking bits even though there's really no need. Of course the same is true in reverse when people like Sigourney Weaver or Oprah are employed to redub David Attenbrough docs made by the BBC. All a bit pointless if you ask me. And of course it's football and not soccer!
