Topic: Scotland TV deal
21. Author:  kelty_par

ITV 4 got good viewing figures for both Scotland games so I imagine Viaplay were asking for more money. They`ve kind of cut their nose off to spite their face somewhat as they won`t get as much from YouTube adverts than they would have from selling the rights to ITV or the BBC but that`s up to them. UEFA need to look at having some kind of rule about games being shown in the territory of the national team though, but I can`t see that happening with UEFA more interested in money than anything much else.

"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"

If STV can`t afford to secure the rights - who would you hold responsible ?

Slightly off-topic but apparently Celtic refused to switch next week`s League game against Aberdeen from the traditional Saturday 3 pm ko to live TV transmission later but the fee offered of £75k is probably not significant to them.

YouTube on a TV will have adverts, casting it from a computer will allow you to ways to block YouTube ads. I can`t go on that site without blockers active

Why can`t ITV buy them and do a deal with STV?


Probably because viaplay has the rights and would prefer to keep them than give them to itv.


I’m pretty sure Viaplay spoke to both BBC & ITV/STV about a sublicense

To answer that fully you`d need some idea of budgets but it feels like if ITV are given the budget to secure England games, STV should be given a budget to secure Scotland games.

Problem with that is STV is largely independent of ITV. Just feels unfair.

ITV and STV are separate business entities, the latter does not have the financial stature to buy these games.

For those questioning why ITV can afford to pay for football matches but STV cannot, you might be interested in the respective sizes of the two companies (from Wiki):

[b]ITV plc[/b]

Revenue
£3,624 million (2023)

Operating income
£238 million (2023)

Net income
£209 million (2023)


[b]STV GROUP plc[/b]

Revenue
£168.4 million (2023)

Operating income
£12.4 million (2023)

Net income
£5.3 million (2023)

Those that have access to VPN`s shouldn`t have a problem

Better that the game is free on YouTube for fans than being behind a paywall on Viaplay. A lot more people can get YouTube than could receive Viaplay.
