football on the bbc 09-10

[The Grockle]

i'm not sure if people are aware but the bbc have won the rights to show 10 championship games on terrestrial and all football league highlights from next season. Anyone know any more about the deal such as what time they'll show football league highlights, what day ect?

If this is true it's great news.

Very good news. The emphasis on the Premiership has been getting on my nerves for a good few years now - hopefully Mark Lawrenson will sign up with Sky next season...

I have been told by the BBC that FL highlights will be shown straight after MOTD, in a special MOTD FL edition. So around 11.30pm on Saturday evenings.

This is brilliant... but I hope they do a re-run the next day. At 11.30 on a Saturday I am either getting drunk, or in bed.

Do you know how comprehensive it will be? It won't just be 10 minutes at the end will it?

i would have thought with MOTD FL it would have to be the length of the ' championship' on itv i.e 1 hour any less that and mawhwinney may have kittens

I knew that the BBC has won the rights to the Football League ages ago but what I did not know is what was said further up the thread and that is they are only going to show 10 Championship games. This will basically mean they will hardly show any League 1 games and probably nothing from League 2.

As has already been mentioned they will stick to the big names so Newcastle will be the only one shown and if they do bother with League 1 then it will be either Charlton, Scumhampton, Norwich and possibly Leeds. That said there could be scope for them to televise our South Coast Derby.

Albion & England forever.

Sorry, i didnt explain very well.

All football league games will be shown on a match of the day style programme on bbc. In addition the BBc will be showing 10 live championship games per season. As far as i'm aware they will not show any live games from league one or two.

No need to apologise, I actually read that as you meant it, as in only showing 10 live games, which is a pretty crap return to be honest.

I think Sky will still show live Football League games as well so the odd league 1 game will still be shown.

 

[Bluejuice]

Awesome news.

And assuming it's a three year deal they can cover our penultimate season at Withdean through to our first at Falmer

 

[glasfryn]

no frigging adverts then ..........thank god

that is correct. bbc have an additional 10 games from the championship, and sky will continue with the same coverage of the football league. so it just means an extra 10 games a year will be televised.

Excellent no more "St Helier's Pear Cider, sponsors of this ITV soccer show" nonsense.

Are the rumours true that Mr Championship Matt Smith has also signed up to the BBC for it's Championship coverage as well as snooker and golf??
