Texas Pete Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 The BBC is showing our other 2 games. I’m not defending the BBC but not really sure what point you are trying to make. I’m sure the BBC would have loved to have shown the opening game but I’m not really sure how the broadcast agreement works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapofGlencoe Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Hoping it's BBC Scotland and STV , at least for our own games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The British Broadcasting Company is who we pay the licence fee to If England were in the opening game which channel do you think would have it ?

The BBC can’t just choose which games they want to show. They are sharing the rights with ITV and have to come to an agreement with them. The game is on free to air so there is no issue here.

ITV is showing 1 Scotland group game and 1 England group game. I agree that the BBC is heavily biased in favour of England in general but you are seeing a problem here where there isn’t one.

I read that England's first game and 3rd game is on ITV, and two of Scotland's games are on BBC. Not that it matters much. It all comes down to who gets to show England in the semi final. That's all that matters really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARD & ZDF is the equivalent of BBC. RTL is a commercial channel, a la ITV / STV. If there‘s a TV in your Air BnB those channels will be available.

N4Footsoldier Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I mean I hate the BBC more than the average person I would say but file this thread under the "Petty Things You Do - England" thread. All games are on terrestrial TV for tournaments, so it's just another BBC bias moan. Nothing to see here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
