The deep-dive feedIncluded

Stop scrolling takes. Start reading the actual story.

Long sports reads, built for depth. Every article has sources you can check, a cover image and a short podcast.

When your feed is loud, Live Wire is the quiet room: a feed of sourced long reads across football, NFL, NBA and F1, with the facts that matter, the citations behind them, and a short listen when you want audio instead of another tab.

  • Coverage across football, NFL, NBA and F1 — we publish silence when there's nothing real to add.
  • Sources stay close to the story so you can check where the claim came from.
  • Cover art and tags like the product card you see in-app — plus a short audio brief on every piece.

    Alonso’s Austin frustration turns a first-lap hit into a wider F1 talking point

Sports4 sports today

Today, four sports.

More on the way. Right now, you'll see articles in football, NFL, NBA and F1.

Right now, Live Wire publishes in football, NFL, NBA and F1.

What you can do

What's inside today

  1. Fresh in-depth articles throughout the day — when there's real news to cover.

  2. Four article styles: breaking news explainers, injury updates, verdict pieces, weekend wrap-ups

  3. Listen instead of read — every article has a short podcast version

  4. Filter by sport — football, NFL, NBA and F1

Our promises

How we keep it honest

  1. Every claim in the article body is cited — tap a marker to open the source panel and check the original.

  2. We write the story in our own words from the sources we found — never pasted from other outlets.

  3. We only publish when at least two separate publishers agree, and at least one source is from the last 24 hours.

  4. Direct quotes stay in quote marks. Rumours and unconfirmed reports are credited to whoever reported them — never stated as our own fact.

  5. If nothing meets that bar, we publish nothing. An empty slot is better than filler.

What it isn't

What Live Wire doesn't do

Upfront about what's not in here, so you can decide if it fits.

  • We don't race the wires — Live Wire is the considered read, not the breaking headline

  • No clickbait, no manufactured drama, no "you won't believe" headlines

  • Articles don't get edited after publish — when a story moves, we publish a new piece; the earlier one stays as it was

  • Not public on the open web today — Live Wire is for signed-in members only
