1888bhoy67 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Stone wall certainty this would happen when Hibs went down!! http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/spfl-chief-neil-doncaster-offers-3611512 SCOTTISH football’s TV deal could be ripped up and restructured for next season after Hibs crashed out of the top flight and into a Championship battle with Hearts and Rangers.Record Sport can reveal SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster yesterday approached broadcast partners Sky TV, BT Sport and the BBC, offering to open discussions on how to restructure the contracts and allow them to screen more live matches from next season’s second tier. And the talks are likely to centre around four Edinburgh derbies which, as things stand, can’t be shown on mainstream channels. Under the terms of the current agreements, Sky have first pick on a maximum of five Championship matches, all including Rangers. BT then have the rights to pick up another 10 Rangers matches while BBC Alba are able to hoover up a further 16 games, none of which can involve the Ibrox side. But Doncaster has now invited telly bosses to get back around the table to discuss swapping Premiership matches for Championship games. And it’s anticipated both Sky and BT will be looking to pick up the Hearts v Hibs clashes. A spokesman for the SPFL said: “The first year of the SPFL provided some incredible drama. The interest in Scottish football is likely to be even greater next season. “We have regular conversations with our broadcast partners. “We expect to announce arrangements for season 2014-15 in conjunction with them in the coming weeks.” BBC Scotland could yet consider showcasing Championship games on their main channels rather than Alba with only around 1.2 per cent of the population believed to be Gaelic speakers. But if Sky and BT make a claim on matches involving the Edinburgh rivals then they will be accommodated first. The current broadcast deals are worth around £15million a season.

Jason Cummings Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 You would think Sky would be delighted at not having to cover another awful Edinburgh Derby. With the exception of the first one, none of the four other Edinburgh derbies were "awful" this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Koop Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Well, well, Cockwomble must really look forward to having a summer where he can jet off to Magaluf, lie by the hotel swimming pool and impress the waiters by picking the winnits out of his arse. Another reverse ferret at the SPL/SPFL. More shocks to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Cummings Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 They were dreadful. Why can't you live without this forum? No, they quite clearly weren't and every one of them is more appealing to broadcasters than any Aberdeen game. I love the fact that my mere presence annoys you so much: you're like fucking Scrappy Doo. Of course your "totally not bothered reply" will deny this though, obviously.
