Never to the dark side Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Swansea at home in the FA Cup live on BBC1 wales Cardiff at home in the FA cup live on S4C So if Bristol City had been drawn against the other lot would the leader of BBC in the west, asked for the money to have the game shown exclusively in the BBC West area? A bit of a history question here, when did our BBC allow regional local derby games to be shown on MOTD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 In my lifetime, the first bristol derby on motd, i recall, was beating rovers 3 0, first season up under tc. Dont recall seeing any other third div games. Highlights that was, and they didnt show every game in those days. Can recall a second divsion game being live on tv, and i think that was man city, chelsea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a history question here, when did our BBC allow regional local derby games to be shown on MOTD They just get masses more funding than English regions, that’s how it works. S4C gets loads of government money despite having some programmes that are watched by so few people that it is statistically nil. Same reason Newport & Wrexham (!) games get far more coverage on the BBC than some Championship sides. Wales gets given far more money than it contributes.

They also have to live there so kinda evens itself out 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC Wales have been showing Cardiff/Swansea and sometimes Newport live in the FA Cup for some time - I live in Wales and it seems to have been ever thus. I guess that it's because BBC Wales covers the whole nation/principality (delete as appropriate) and the rest of the BBC works on a regional basis. Bloody annoying mind... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair comment but it was just strange that the OP chose this time to complain about it with no fans allowed. IIRC our game at Blades last season was free to watch on the BBC website.

This season seems to be a bit of a patchwork of broadcasters for the FA Cup with the BBC having some, ITV others and possibly BT Sport as well. @Never to the dark side, is this a new thing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
