Quote clubfoot fc="clubfoot fc"you said you thought that the sky deal meant bbc had to wait 24 hours to show the highlights
I doubted wether the deal even existed and then pointed out that games played less than 24 hours ago were shown.
Thats not being pedantic at all
Do you honestly think that the bbc would think well 22 hours is nearly 24 hours so we'll just show it anyway?
The reason why our game wasn't shown is probably down to the fact that unlike the regular season highlights the play off hghlights are shown nationwide and that 6:15 slot was the only available nationwide slot'"
I questioned whether there was a 24 hour period before BBC could show highlights I did not profess to know the answer, so yes you were being pedantic by picking up on the fact that the highlights had commenced 2 hours before this time.
Sky pay a fair wedge for their coverage of SL so of course there will be a dictate that states a period of time before the BBC can broadcast highlights, as stated I do not know the finer details.
I don' buy into your 6:15pm slot being the only nationwide slot available, it was on again when we got home from the pub after being at the game (around 11.30 I think). That said 6.15pm is a much better time to put the playoffs out to a nationwide audience, but the point of this thread is why the FC game was not shown, so I stick with my belief that this was down to contractual arrangements between Sky and BBC (as stated I do not know this to be fact, so am prepared to be corrected by any one who does)
