1. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 15:19 Scotland qualifiers v Croatia and Portugalwill be shown on the viaplay YouTube channel. A sub licencing deal with itv and stv was close but no deal was confirmed. This marks the first time this century a Scotland competitive match won`t be broadcast on linear TV. c'mon the pars Post Edited (Wed 09 Oct 15:37) Reply |

3. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 16:15 steaua, Wed 9 Oct 15:55 Itv bought the rights for the England game off uefa. Scottish ones were purchased by viaplay who id assume rejected the bid from itv or stv. c'mon the pars Reply |

5. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 16:38 Why can`t ITV buy them and do a deal with STV? Reply |
6. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 16:43 wee eck, Wed 9 Oct 16:38 Probably because viaplay has the rights and would prefer to keep them than give them to itv. c'mon the pars Reply |

9. Author: veteraneastender Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 17:07 "Why can`t ITV buy them and do a deal with STV?" The two have had a difficult relationship in the not too distant past. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-13206671 It`s more of a wider commercial television industry issue than simply one of sports coverage as far as I can tell.

11. Author: veteraneastender Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 17:26 "And to my knowledge viaplay still owns the rights to our games." Understood - the question is when did they acquire the rights and why didn`t/couldn`t STV do so at that point ? Lack of that kind of money I suspect/ Reply |
12. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 17:28 veteraneastender, Wed 9 Oct 17:26 They got the rights last year, then changed their stance on the UK this summer. The first round of games were bought by STV/ITV, whereas they havent reached an agreement this window. Games shown live on Viaplays Youtube channel free of charge instead. Reply |

18. Author: Rigger Al Date: Fri 11th Oct 2024. 15:39 Someone needs to be made accountable for this .How the powers that be allow this to happen ? Should all be fired ,more painful when England games are being shown on STV Reply |

20. Author: NMCmassive Date: Fri 11th Oct 2024. 16:16 Rigger Al, Fri 11 Oct 15:39 It’s a complete joke. Thing is, I’ll be watching it on YouTube. To me I don’t understand why STV or especially the BBC aren’t taking the rights to it. Surely they would have known that Viaplay would have put it on YT and they’re currently in panic mode about dwindling viewers. They’ve literally just gave more people no choice but to watch YT COYP Reply |
