JackCarter 2 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Does anyone know if STV will be showing all 6 Rangers game this year? If I remember correctly they didn't show them all last year as ITV didn't negotiate an opt-out for STV so viewers in Scotland had to watch coverage of the English teams. I know Sky will have all 6 games but just wondering about STV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dramsay1 0 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Unfortunatly STV got rid of its full sports department last year....in short, "scotsport" is now a thing of the past. ITV got the rights to purchase any the games on one night of the week and STV purchased the rangers/celtic game through them - however STV now no longer have the budget to do so. Our games being shown on council telly will depend on demographics, however don't be surprised if none of our games our shown as there legislation that requires ITV to show them.

dramsay1 0 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 i was doing a bit of extra reading on this and apparently because STV cannot afford to purchase it, ITV changed their contract with UEFA in 2009 so that they don't have to have a Scotland opt out if they participate in the competition. Basically ITV now have to longer buy any Scottish team's games.Sky in the pub for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
