See it's been bumped by sky sports, instead they are showing Livi vs Well🤦*♂️ shocking

Makes absolutely zero sense, but hey ho, at least Hibs will get to show it on PPV.

Sky presumably keeping their Tynecastle slots for the visits of the Old Firm which makes sense for their viewing figures. It’s the deal that the clubs took that is more of an issue, although I’ve quite enjoyed the lack of TV interference this season.

The last one wasn't exactly a feast of football for the neutral.

Hearts will. We won’t make anything from it.

Good that they’re showing some of the non old firm games though eh?…

[erin go bragh]

Sky are a joke. That will be one derby they have shown in the last 5 league games. Glad i don't give them a penny.

[percy veer]

Shocking the way they treat our derby, must be one of the few derbys in any league that is not shown on the tele

[worcesterhibby]

have never paid for SKY and never will. When I want to watch a game on TV I go to the local pub..nice boozer, well run, lots of TV's £2.75 for a pint of cider..far cheaper than paying for sky and helps keep a local business going.

[McD]

Assuming we get top 6, I wouldn’t be surprised to see that derby not being on sky either, they’ll want to keep whatever OF games we have at home for broadcast


Although, at the rate they’re going, we might get both the derby and OF match as they’re not likely to manage the 5 matches at ER. Then again, they’ve actually shown less than the maximum number of matches they can in the last few seasons, so they’d probably just ignore the derby anyway

The clubs and SPFL are a joke.

The SPFL put out a tender in 2018 for 4 games at each ground. It was 6 games at each non-Old Firm ground previously.

The clubs have both limited their broadcaster and/or allowed their broadcaster to pick poor games/Old Firm games by limiting the quota.

And in the age of Old Firm visiting fan lock-outs, it’s now the biggest occasion and fixture in Scotland.

Sparing the viewers unnecessary pain if last week's game was anything to go by!

Can’t we stream away games via Hibs TV?

[Chuck Rhoades]

Means more people will buy a ticket and support the team on the day, fantastic.

The Hibs end would be sold out regardless

They’ve still got 3 picks from ER and neither of the next two home games against the OF have been picked so I’d say it’s almost a certainty that the post split derby(assuming there is one) will be on sky. Strange as we’ll only be due 2 home games post split so if they don’t use up a game before then they’ll be a game short from ER

The next game against Celtc is on Sky

[Glory Lurker]

Hope it's a "Fab" Derby.

Would make absolutely no difference if it was on sky or not. Game will sellout regardless.

You can but you’ll pay Hearts for the privilege.

Think the rangers game later this month is on sky, so coupled with last week and the Celtic game, that would leave 2 possible live matches from ER between now and the end of the season.

It is strange as you say, however I think sky have shown less matches than they’re entitled to in both of the last 2 seasons - all about rangers and Celtic

So it is. Must’ve missed that. So it’ll be that and both our home games in the top 6 if we get there then

[Pagan Hibernia]

In all honesty it's ridiculous.

I know the last game wasn't great but if its a choice between the Edinburgh Derby with a crowd of (not quite) 20k or Livy and Motherwell hoofing it round a plastic pitch in front of about 8 people...

On second thoughts, are we being a bit Old Firm about this? Just expecting our game to be shown because we and hearts are bigger clubs than livingston and well?

That’s not what the choice is for them. The choice is between showing the derby or keeping their slots at Tynecastle free so they can show subsequent visits from Rangers and Celtic. They’ll be keeping it for them as they get more viewers, simple as that.

Ah I see.

Their package exists so that the old firm fans can watch their team away.
